What insights does Coach Sphire give?

What insights does Coach Sphire give?

He said McNick plays hard and mirror Highlands intensity. Said will see most sets of any team they've played so far. Says McNick QB a wrestler and seems to be the heart and soul of their team and plays hard. Said they like to blitz on defense and fly to the ball and play with good intensity.

With Harris and Benke out, who will play wide outs DeBurger and Hendrix? or Hinegardner? also how will the linebackers look like? will they move Robinson inside and roll with Surrey and Hodge outside or keep Robinson and move Welsh inside? going to be interesting I like all these guys.

I like Robinson on the inside. He's the heart and soul of the D, not to mention the best all around football player on the D. Rarely does he make a mistake. Also like Hodge outside. Probably the best LB at dropping into coverage. I like the nastiness he brings to the D. Just keep it under control.

I agree with this. Unfortunately, two guys who probably were going to have rotational roles this year on defense in Dalton Roller and Leo Fenik are both out for a long time with pre-season and early season injuries. Both of those guys could have really helped; especially with Harris going down. 

I don't worry about WR all that much; although Benke is incredibly talented and you can't replace his size, there is a TON of depth at WR. I think the names that have already been mentioned (Matteoli, Class, Hendrix, Deburger, Hinegarder) will be able to fill any void. I will also throw Kelsay in that mix. 

I am far more concerned about losing Benke as the backup QB. It becomes instantly far more important to protect Noon than ever before. Having Benke as a backup plan allowed HHS to utilize Noon's dynamic tool chest. They will be forced to play things a little more conservative. 

GO BIRDS! BEAT ROCKETS! 

So much for the need of a scouting report.  I hate injuries!  I think you are going to see more from Mateo and Hinegardner.  In order to run the ball i would expect to see more 2 TE sets.  
 

For those out to lunch LaFrange and Higgason played with their hand down as they played 4 down.  
 

I would expect that LaFrange and Hig will play inside and Surrey and Robinson out.  Robinson can also play in.  Hodge and Welsh add speed as well.  Ask around the boys get a scorecard after each game.

Love that they’re getting a scorecard! I remember about 2-3 years ago when Mr. Collinsworth offered to do PFF scoring for the entire team for free and was told “no thanks”.

@El Diablo Brody has broken foot out for at least 5weeks and Oliver broken collarbone.

Correction it’s a sprained collarbone for Oliver could be good to go on Friday.

Im hearing that Harris is out this Friday. The starting backers are Robinson, Lafrange, Surrey, Hodge. Along with Welsh and Higgason. Wide outs are Welsh, Lloyed, Hinegrader. Along with Deburger, Hendrix, I assume others, going off a source I heard. Sphire must feel comfortable with there depth and athletes he has.

Those two position groups are much deeper than others.  He runs different sets based on opponent and play setup.  Just when I think this old coach has it figured out Bob or Hayden throws a new wrinkle.  It is fun to watch.  The kids buy in because he stresses roles and team.  In years past superstars never came off the field.  This year they get rested a series and the kids come in also desire to execute.  It builds depth and team.  

Is this game going to be streamed or have a video feed?  Asking for those not healthy enough to catch it in person.  Thanks
