heisman20 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Looks like Mercer will have the talent to do more than just 3 yards and a cloud of dust on offense. I wonder if they will try to diversify the offense a bit to utilize all the skill players. They had more talent then that last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRebel Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Does anybody have any reports from the most recent passing league games or from practices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBuckett Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I seen them at Woodford county. Coach jaggers may want to learn to count because he played 8 on defense and still got beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogtown Pride Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 I seen them at Woodford county. Coach jaggers may want to learn to count because he played 8 on defense and still got beat. If all of Mercer's seniors and juniors had been there when Mercer was competing against Frankfort, the outcome would have definitely been different. The majority of the experienced receivers and experienced defensive backs were taking their ACT tests and did not arrive until after that game was over. As I do recall, Mercer was in the final 4 of the day. Was Frankfort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing league really holds alot of water. I would think that Mercerburg would beat Frankfort rather easily in a "REAL" game.:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you Frankfort puts very little into passing leagues. If you have watched them you know they run the ball 99% of the time. The only thing I was pointing out is the played 8 men on defense. What a good advantage to have 8 mean covering 5. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Gap Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 When you count to 4, 10 men can't cover 5 unless you play man under 2 deep which they don't. Some teams will drop 8 against spread teams with no backs especially when they can't stunt.You can also line up with 8 and have 1 guy take a knee in these passing leagues which is probably what they did because the guy who takes a knee is probably rushing the QB.

This is a very true statement. Teams that play a "50" defense will drop 8. I guess that they should use some other defense for these "passing games".

Cynical Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 When you count to 4, 10 men can't cover 5... Sounds like you're in trouble against anyone with a semblance of an O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Gap Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sounds like you're in trouble against anyone with a semblance of an O-line. ..in a real game situation, the quarterback isnt going to have 4 seconds to just sit back in the pocket everyplay, if they do, then their offensive line will be more than just a "semblance" of one, buddy!

Tall Trees Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Think about it for a second, any quarterback, who has 4 seconds to sit in the pocket, who has any 'semblance' of an arm can complete a pass to any receiver has any 'semblance' of legs to get open, and hands to catch it...unless, the defense is playing man under, 2 deep, which, again, in passing leagues, they dont. ..in a real game situation, the quarterback isnt going to have 4 seconds to just sit back in the pocket everyplay, if they do, then their offensive line will be more than just a "semblance" of one, buddy! Again, very good post!! Passing leagues are overrated. People get on here and talk about how good someone is going to be because they won some passing tourney, and then they go out and win 2/3 games. The "real football" game still comes down to who can run and who can stop the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "real football" game still comes down to who can run and who can stop the run. For state championship purposes. As far as season play goes, if it doesn't rain, passing leagues can help determine some outcomes. I know it will help teams like Trinity this year with Coverdale coming back as offensive coordinator.

TheRebel Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 It still comes down to situations and personnel. In a real game, if people are dropping 7 or 8 consistently into coverage, any good coach is going to run the ball unless he's down late in the game. If he can't run against that defense, he's not going to win many games anyway. Mercer will be a good team this year, but don't put too much stock into passing leagues. They are good for the purpose they serve -- to run your passing plays against a live defense. Receivers practice running sharp routes, you get timing between your QB and WR, and both work on recognizing coverages and decision-making.

Fletch Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Will all of Harrodsburg's running backs be the new starters for Mercer? Has Denzil Washington been spotted in town yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
