Iam4thecats..obviously you didn't read the initial thread..."be contructive" No one likes a hater. Coach Mofield has done a great job. I mean he is the HC.

hoss403, IDK Meade and JH is always a hard hitting game and a joy to watch. JH is a hell of a program. Would be nice to win this year in death valley. It wasn't just the senior class, the team was deep at a lot of positions. But Meade did lose a lot in this senior class.

 

Can't wait to see this year's game. I have told other folks this but if you're going to beat John you have the next 2 years to do it because after that they are as loaded as they have ever been.

Are you serious?!! Every word I have said has been a compliment to Meade. You are the one who wants to change and improve Meade.

So to you Meade doesn't need to improve anywhere?? This was the initial thread "What does Meade County need to do to improve in 2014? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive" I was merely stating my opinion to answer the question..you don't have to agree!!!! I for one believe a Meade needs a more aggressive style of defense to win against quality teams with good offenses. It's just my opinion!!! Again Meade is a great program, but the thread was "What does Meade County need to do to improve in 2014"

 

Obviously there is room to improve if you didn't win the championship and in my opinion a more agressive defense in the final 2 minutes of the 6A championship might have slowed Scott county down and kept them from scoring. I might be completely wrong and that's alright, this is just a blog to share ideas. It should be alright to exchange opinions right or wrong. Because right & wrong really is in the eye of the beholder.

 

Unless you are 100% correct in all your opinions. The comment "The defense carried that team and that program and always will as long as Mofield is there." doesn't seem to be a compliment?? But I don't think he will lose any sleep. You may like a containment style of defense..I like a more aggressive style..neither is right or wrong. Both styles have won games.

There is no such thing as an outdated defense in High School Football unless you are competing on the National Level.

 

We are talking about a sport where elite National Programs still use wing backs and offenses that end in the word "bone".

 

5-2...3-4...4-3...4-4...3-3-5.. heck put all 11 on the line of scrimmage... as long as you are able to defeat your opponent your scheme is not outdated. In High School it is much more about personnel and preparation than it is scheme. Less parity between the athletes and coaches.

Wow. Just wow. Larry Moefield is a heck of a high school football coach. If you don't understand that saying Meade is a defense first program is compliment then you just don't understand the culture he has built there. It's a mentality a philosophy of how they want to be. You aren't making a play calling suggestion. Blitzing is not part of their DNA. It's not how they got good in the first place. For a Meade fan in my opinion you don't know much about how they tick.

By the way. They did win the championship doing it that way. I saw a turnover that was taken away by the officials.

Iam4thecats..First of all great back and forth. It always cool to have a spirited debate. You raise many validate points. That being said this was suppose to be about Meade improving. Unfortunately it got off topic..anyway I sincerely apologize to anyone who took offense that was not the intent.

For Meade to run blitz packages we need speed, something that is a rarity here. Plus teams we face predominantly run the wing t or spread look which means no containment if we run the wrong blitz for the jet sweeps or any out side runs or pass coverage.. If we had speed it would be effective. But we have to play Team football and not worry about one player getting all the glory. The linemen keep the linebackers clean to make plays and i don't see no 4'3 speed so I'll take containment any day.

All great points Meade Pride...and yes I agree. Meade plays great team football in all three phaes and that's what has contributed heavily the programs success over the years. In my opinion, there is three main reasons the program is strong year in and year out..quality and dedication of its coaching staff, physical style of play and great fundamentals (Blocking & tackling).
