I can guarantee you the players and the coaching staff is not looking for Lawrence to lie down like some of the members say they will. I'm one Central fan that is looking for a war in Louisa tomorrow night. Heck, out all the ones that are predicting this massive blow out only a few of them is actually JC fans. I think I counted around six. Trust me on this one these six are just fans of the program and they don't have a clue about the amount of hard work that the Eagles have put in this week to prepare for the dawgs. There not players and there certainly not coaches. Let me ask you this if Johnson Central was looking for a blow out tomorrow night would they have been working there tail off to prepare for tomorrow night's game? No they wouldn't they know that they are in for a battle the entire game.

 

 

I agree. I have heard that the EAGLES have been working their butts off this wk. in the rain and mud to get ready for the DOGS! One coach told me that they have prepared for this game more than any other in the last three seasons. The EAGLES will be ready and all I can say is that I hope the DOGS are ready! If either team isn't ready it will be a long night. MY prediction, a blow out. There will be no in between. JCHS will blow out LC or LC will blow out JCHS! That is my prediction.

Johnson Central wins this game with defense. Grimm, D. Dillion, Welch, Dials, Tackett, Taylor, N. Dillion, Meek... all these players can have big night on offense. IMO, JC's defense will be what gets JC to 5-0.

JC isn't taking Lawrence lightly, and shouldn't. They gave us fits last year before the lightning came, and if they can play that defense against our running game for four quarters this will be a lower scoring game than predicted above. But JC's defense should prevail and the offense can grind down the clock as well as the opponent. This may be a tough game emotionally for Nathaniel Dials playing his former teammates, but he has become a leader on this defense and I look for him to shine tonight.

These formations are considered full house backfield formations because the have three backs and four if you're counting the QB. A full house backfield is not a fancy formation. It's a very common formation ran in high school,college, and it's even showing up more at the professional level.

 

You are correct in every part except on the professional level. Three back set has not been used since the Lombardi era. The closest you will see to a three back set these days is when a team will bring a TE in motion behind the line of scrimage in short yardage situations. Other than that good post...

Has the point been reached in Louisa where bringing back Coach Williams has been considered ??

 

He was the most successful coach at Lawrence, IMO. True, he burned a number of bridges there (as he has most places), but his system worked EXTREMELY well for the Bulldogs.

 

(If he were offered, I think he'd do it in a heartbeat. Heck, he might even be able to talk Coach Burchett into coming with him to work the defense)

Where is Chuke coaching now?

It has been used recently on the professional level. Some teams run what I call an inverted bone last year in the NFL. I did some research on this and here is what I found.

 

Texans- In week 5 against the Titans the Texans faced second-and-9 from their own 27-yard line. For most teams, that’s a passing down, but new offensive coordinator Joe Pendry wanted to establish the run. So he sent his team to the line with three running backs on the field: Domanick Davis as the deep halfback, Moran Norris and Jonathan Wells as fullbacks. With David Carr under center, the quartet of backs aligned in a loose diamond shape.

The Titans defense read Norris’ block off right tackle and over-pursued. Jonathan Wells helped seal off the back side. Davis crashed through a hole between the center and right guard, gaining 44 yards before the Titans defense caught up to him.

 

Panthers- The Panthers are getting the most use out of the inverted wishbone. They used this formation at least five times last year against the Saints and several more times against the Patriots and Packers. The Panthers use it as a power running attack. Nick Goings, DeShaun Foster, or Stephen Davis takes a handoff and hammers the line behind fullbacks Brad Hoover and (tight end) Mike Seidman. The Panthers have also executed some play-action passes and some reverses from the inverted bone.

 

Browns- The Browns are also use the inverted bone, but they use it as more of a max-protect passing scheme. Trent Dilfer completed short hitch passes to Antonio Bryant and Andre Davis from the formation; tight end Steve Heiden, lined up at fullback, slipped into the flat and broke a long gain on a rollout pass.

 

No pro team is using the inverted bone the way most college teams do, as a goal line or short yardage formation. Most teams are using the formation on first-and-10 or second-and-long. Although it's not used as much on the professional level like it is in high school or college it's still used some.

Where did you find this research at? I would like to look it up, for myself. If I am wrong I will I will educate myself...
