Belfry 42 Middlesboro 21

[Pirate Pal]

I know this wasn't addressed to me, but I just have to give a little opinion on the matter.

 

A DE's job is to contain, unless the option is run directly at them. Middlesboro ran what I guess would be called a counter-option which meant the DE had to make the QB pitch the ball. The QB was free to run in most cases because the NG & DTs got sucked inside on the counter fake EVERYTIME leaving our DEs with too much openfield to cover.

 

Thats how I saw it anyway.

 

 

Once this happened a couple of times...they ran the same play to both sides of the field and got yardage every time. Man, that was frustrating to watch. :mad:
