Much bigger, stronger and noticeably faster. Did well running track this spring. Look for RV to, frankly, run the hell outta him this year. If they are smart, they’ll use him on defense this year. Was shocked they didn’t deploy him on D last year. His days of throwing for 2600+ yards a year might be over though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been a top 3-4 defender on the team and would have replaced a kid that was often targeted by the opponent's offense. I've often thought he would have had a future as a LB...likes to hit and has frame to be 6'3", 225-230. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true there is just a few cautionary tales especially if you plan on running the QB a lot just look at VA High last year. All I’m saying is you lose a LB your defense has a hole in it that can be fixed with good coaching. You lose QB1 because he get 20 carries a game and is having to make 15 tackles you get to the end of the year and the kid is a shell of what he started the season at Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say between 10-12 times would be effective. Now, once you are in the playoffs and its win-or-go-home, I absolutely believe you put all your horses on the field and let them run..offense and defense. Graham plays their QB both ways and fully understands the concept of playing with your best 11 and getting the ball to your playmakers.

I don't think the QB will play both ways for Graham this year, I believe the starter will be a sophomore, they should be well represented on defense. But yes, in the past, the best player at the position has played for Graham, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jags52 346 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 There is a big difference in playing you QB at safety and playing backer. That’s a lot more hits on the guy that runs your offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandanaVTDavis4321 1,719 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 I think Grahams QB played linebacker as well. I agree, play your best 11 both ways. There is always some risk with anything. Even Grahams QB got hurt last year, I don't know if it was on O or D, but it didn't bite Graham as he came back. But, the year before that, Grahams QB Also played linebacker and it bit Graham. Again, I don't know if he had the lower limb fracture from O or D, but there is some risk. Even Ronald Curry at Hampton High played defense (safety) on those nationally recognized teams.

Now, it wouldn't make sense to have him out there against teams you're beating 40-0. He was a measurable upgrade at one of the DB positions, bigger, faster, stronger and likes to hit. Hell, you could have just said, "Shadow #5" and it would have been better that what RV's D was doing. These 2A teams have to realize they don't have 900-1100 students anymore....it's 500-600 for most of them. If you are trying to win the game, you must play your best 11, period. In this day of load-management, it should be easy to implement. BandanaVTDavis4321 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, did he wants totals from McDowell County, Bland County, and Princeton/the rest of Mercer County? I "heard" Graham got a kid coming from Switchback, WV that is 6"10, 350 pounds, and runs a 4'5 forty, and plays halfback.

The answer is zero. But they are making the trek to western McDowell County to look for anymore Johnsons that want to play for a winner.
