Just looking for some opinions because i've not seen alot of the other 2A teams play this year.

I'd like to know the answer myself, but...comparing this team to last year's:

 

1. This is QB Crisp's first year to start. As such, he's had periods of inconsistancy in his throwing mechanics. Mostly it's been his rushing passes at times. But to the good, he's made good overall decisions on where to throw it - and when to pull it down and run. Also, he seems to know the limits of his ability. Last year, Burchett had great mechanics and as a result was extremely accurate. But at times he'd go too far in trying to make a play (a few worked, but others didn't).

 

2. The receiving corp is a tad better this year. The loss of Hall, Blackburn, and Tincher has been covered by Jamerson, Slone, and esp. Williams. Griffith is improved as a receiver.

 

3. The RB position is improved at FB with a year's experience for Collins, but otherwise, seems a wash. The backfield misses (both last year and this) a TRUE speedster. Perhaps Anderson (Fr.) could provide it, but the staff is hesitant to put him in harm's way - he's the backup QB.

 

4. Blocking seems stronger inside, but has lost a bit on outside runs. This could be because Prestonsburg has gone away from the pitch sweep and hence (or they've gone away from it because the blocking has lost a step).

 

5. The defensive front is stronger on the line, but has fallen a bit at the LB position. The LB corp misses McKinney's nose for the ball.

 

6. The secondary started well behind last year's unit, but has been closing the gap as the year has progressed. Coach Chirico is doing his usual magic.

 

7. The kicking game is strong on KO's, the same on punts, but has shown inconsistancy on FG's. The return teams aren't much changed.

 

 

This is how it looks to me so far... :bunny:
