Someone probably said that the wishbone isn't something you learn overnight.

 

Has Ashland ever dabbled with the wishbone out of curiousity?

 

 

Are you talking about this years team only I hope?

I agree wholeheartedly with the wishbone move. I was just talking to somone about this the other day. I think they should move Bonner to fullback, and go with the wishbone. :thumb:

 

I like that idea.:thumb:

Not what's dirty is not utilizing the kid as much as they should. The kid needs to have the ball in his hands a lot more than he's getting it right now. The scouts will recognize his talent no matter where he is played.

 

They might recognize talent, but may not offer him if they don't get to see him enough in action @ the position they want him for.

 

Noah May is a prime example, was a FB @ Russell and getting quite a few looks and would have recieved scholarship offers. They moved him to QB and all recruiting went away.

Yes dear.

Yes dear.

Well, last year with Thomas they weren't in the bone. So, I'm simply saying that running the wishbone may be a good idea, but not easily mastered in a weeks worth of practice, especially if kids have never been in it.

I could list many players that played certain positions in high school that were recruited for a different position for college. Keenan Burton being a perfect example. Like I said, scouts know talent.

MAJOR difference in the talent of Keenan Burton and Ryan Bonner.

 

Bonner is going to go as a TE if he goes anywhere. Not a LB, DL, FB, or anything else. I'm sure if they moved him he would still get picked up by someone. It could hurt his chances with an even better school though.

My thinking was to start slow with just a couple plays ,The Tomcats really need a power set down in the red zone to push it in the end zone. Herb Conley would run a belly 2 or 3 till you stopped him very simple.

Bonner long snaps too.I hear some big schools are interested .

Ashland has plenty of film of Bonner at TE to send to the colleges, and with Hart's college connections I feel confident that moving him to FB would not hurt his chances any of receiving a scholarship.

I was pulling for them last week. They will bounce back with a win over Russell.

Tomcats 21-14

Preach it Jericho!!:thumb: With the running backs we currently have and an O-Line which can deliver...this is something I would really enjoy seeing. As for Bonner, can you imagine him coming out of the backfield with a head of steam? :fight:

Herb Conley was a master of the wishbone and running game, probably the best I have seen in this area . As NFL coach Bum Phillips said about Bear Bryant and I will use the quote about Herb Conley...."He could take his'n and beat your'n or he could turn around and take your'n and beat his'n".

I don't think whether they run the wishbone or not will matter in this game. Ashland is going to score a couple of TD's. (Eventhough I don't know how well a kid like Carter would do in the wishbone.)

 

For Ashland to win they are going to have to stop Russell's offense, which is putting up big numbers from multiple players so far this year. Most of whom just get to play one half.
