I noticed that there was a previous thread on Greenup County, but now it is not available.

 

I follow most of the teams in NE KY so I am interested to learn more about Greenup County's new offense. I saw the article in the Daily Independent (link attached) recently.

What are the expectations for the Musketeers this season?

 

How will they fare in their opening game against Russell?

Maybe the guru can shed some light on where that original thread went???

Their QB better be ready to throw it all over the field this year.

Does Greenup have no running attack?

I just say this because what I have read up on their new offense is that its designed to keep the ball in the air a lot.

Thanks for the clarification.

 

Basically, teams should play with 6 DB's and have 5 in the box against Greenup. Is that how you read the defensive alignment against this offense?

I saw them in passing league and they have a 2 or 1 back gun. Sometimes even empty look.

Its just basically play some sort of nickel defense while keeping your linebackers playing zone looking for some sort of draw or veer from the QB and RB. You just want to keep everything in front of you on defense and make sure the intial tackle is made and yards after catch are kept to a minimum.

P.S. Anytime you can bring heat on the QB and keep him on the move and keep him from setting his feet is good. Like I was always told, " its hard to throw a football when you are on your back. "

Imo the Muskies will be much improved. Running a new offense should generate new excitement in the program. As for your other question I don't really expect them to beat Russell though.

Those are two of my favorite sayings along with the one that you quoted.

 

The one thing about a lot of these "spread" type offenses though is that the QB gets rid of the ball quickly......When ran correctly the offense uses short passes much like a running game for short / ball control gains. JMO

Greenup County has some talented athletes and the new offensive scheme will allow those players to showcase their talents. It should be fun for the fans to watch and will help generate more excitement into GC football.

Greenup needs a litle something to be proud of.

Go Greenup. I always back them except for one day a year and thats when they play Russell. In the last few years they have not done well against Russell in the "backyard brawl". I expect them to do better this year and we should have a good game. :thumb:
