Good post, do not forget Dials and Grim were on that team too. This years team does not have the individual players that the 06 team did, but I think are stronger as a team. I think this team may be a little quicker across the board, espcially the DBs.

 

From the folks I've spoken to who have seen JC on film and in person, none have said JC is a very quick team..

Most of JC passing plays for years have been touch downs or big yard gainers.

 

Several posters have mentioned this. Stats seem to disagree.

 

In 2008, JC attempted 28 passes in 10 games (2.8 per) with 12 of those coming against Belfry. Only 10 were completed (5 against Belfry) That leaves 16 attempts, 5 completions in 9 games, 1.8 attempts per, .56 completions per.

 

Only 2 of the 28 went for a touchdown, 1 for 22 yards, 1 for 26 yards. They average less than 8 yards per pass attempt, 23 per completion, hardly big yard gainers.

Quicker than 06. Not 4.4 speed, but quick enough. This team is known more for power than speed, but is fast for a JC team. Since we have basically ground the ball out with three power runners, our quicker players have not had the ball that much. We have shown most of our speed on defense. Bryan Station has great team speed and no one from BS ran past us. But we are not the fastest team in 5A either.

I had no idea of the stats, but it seems when we have passed we have had some big plays. With a team like JC when you pass and make big yards it sticks out in your mind. The catches Welch makes just stick out in your mind and Welch is cabable of making a game changing catch at anytime on any team. We are not one of the top throwing teams in the state, but we have the ability to make the big play with a pass.

I have no idea of the stats, but I'd imagine that 23 yds/completion would be pretty high.

Everything is relative. Comparative stats and individual games performances are impossible to use as a gauge to rate teams. For example: Louisville Central gained 300+ yards on Louisville St. Xavier yet gained much less than 100 yards against Highlands. I don't think many people would say that this means Highlands is that much better than St. X.

Since I seem to be the person that writes two pages that you are likely referring to, I do appreciate the genius compliment. :thumb:
