Real Sasquatch Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 49 minutes ago, jeffro said: Dont look now but Graham seems to put together an offense Graham 28-3 I agree. I liked what I saw from Graham's offense. The QB didn't throw one deep ball the entire game. Some of those short passes turned in to big gainers. With the athletes that Graham has at receiver, they just need to spread the defense out and get the ball to their receivers. Dalton Roberts played a very good game, threw the ball well. He finished 10 of 14 passing and only threw one time into double coverage and he had a few good designed QB runs. This is the offensive scheme that I think Graham will have success with. Lilly came in at QB when the defense was worn down and gashed them for some good runs. People can say Pulaski is weak, etc... but they have played teams like Salem, Lord Botetourt, Patrick Henry (Roanoke), Christiansburg, Princeton, Northside and the likes, not a piece of cake schedule by any means. Not many teams in this area would come away with wins against those teams. This may have been the best "overall" game that Graham has played. Pulaski did get nearly 200 yards of offense against Graham, mainly because of the option plays and a very good and tough runner in Gallimore. The stop motion caused Graham to jump offsides a few times early, but they adjusted well. Graham still ended up with 10 penalties for 95 yards, most in the first half. Still room for improvement, but the offense looked the most consistent that it has all year. Also, how about A.J. Bradshaw at the end of the game with a couple of spectacular runs for a freshmen, cutting in and out of traffic. Flashes of what's to come from him. I believe he has been hurt for most of the year and hasn't gotten any touches, but he finally got to tote the ball a couple of times and he was impressive.

More to come the next few years. Graham’s coaches have done a great job of re-establishing culture and getting the athletes to play. It appears now, “just don’t wreck the Ferrari (or other high performance vehicle.)” is the task. Real Sasquatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some good yardage on QB keepers & some solid short & intermediate passes. Lilly is a game changer out there too! I wasn’t really onboard with two QB offense but I guess it does open up more options. It’s probably the most solid game Graham has had on offense this year. Utilizing all their options and spreading the ball around. Agree with @Real Sasquatch AJ Bradshaw is going to be fun to watch as he develops!

Deon Cooper, I believe is the name. He looks like he has a huge upside potential for Graham also. Also, Kaden Banks, a sophomore, the sophomore Chaun Dowell has a lot of potential at that DE or at linebacker position. Also, some very good looking prospects coming up from 8th grade next year for them. Graham is set up for the next several years to be a contender in Region D, if we are looking at "potential". Certainly, the culture is firmly in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, the culture is firmly in place. If I’m not mistaken Deon Cooper is Jamel Floyd’s younger brother. He & Bradshaw have been getting it on special teams lately. Dowell is doing very well & in on a lot of plays. Sophomore, Williamson on defense is going to be another Omari Hill. His ceiling is high. Tony Palmer has assembled a great supporting cast in his assistants. Real Sasquatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last part of this team making a deep playoff run is Dalton reading the field and not throwing the ball and hoping for the best. The short pass game to these speedy playmakers should open this offense to the potential they have. Lots of weapons on this team that have yet to shine.

GilesBandanaMan Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Watched Graham vs PC. Difference in Graham last night from what I haven't seen in YEARS is offensive coaching/route design. It was Noticeably changed/different. Amazing how a struggling QB passing the ball can all of a sudden look different with just a little offensive coaching improvement. The Improvement for Graham last night offensively wasn't the QB in my opinion (who did fine) but it was the offensive coaching and specifically, pass route design. In the past if you look at the Graham QB and throwing deep and into coverage, the kid had zero or very few other options to throw too. 3 out of 4 routes at minimum were deep routes or way down field. They gave the kid some short routes and what happened? Speed. Ball to WR quickly and sure, he's tackled for a 6 yd gain 4 out of 5 times, but 1 of those one in five goes to the house as athleticism takes over. If.....IF Grahams offensive coaching keeps that pass route design in place and doesnt revert, and sticks with short and intermediate balls, they will not be beaten this year.

GilesBandanaMan Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Watched New Kent and Poquoson on Facebook. Poquoson is really good. Would be very surprised if someone in that region beats them (Bruton, Southampton, King William). Bruton travels to Poquoson next week in a big game down there, then Poquoson finishes with Lafayette which will be a likely loss. Tonight, Loris has another huge game against historical SC powerhouse Marlboro County in Bennettsville. This game will likely go down to the wire. If Loris, 7 and can win, they will finish up 9 and 1 as they will win game 10 easily over rival Aynor, and have a very high seeding in the playoffs, but they are in danger of losing up in Bennettsville tonight. I'm going to this one in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
