Blake-Middleton on its way out of RayJay? | Main | Friday Night Rewind: Best Ever? »

October 04, 2008

Open thread. Talk amongst yourselves.

What did you see Friday? Tell me. And check out a little slide show we threw together while waiting for the Friday Night Rewind to finish exporting and uploading. (Yeah, that's right. It's 4:58 a.m.)

Twice Friday night at Ridgewood a player was down after a play, and The Gulf sideline never took a knee. Cmon Fulmer, teach those boys some sportsmanship.

Do you really think the team on the sideline would help? We could hear Coach telling his players to take a knee. Go Fulmer and Go Bucs!!!

Dunedin you dissapoint me. Such good players, but so bad offensive coaching..

Did either Gulf or Ridgewoods defenses ever get off of there knee? No rushing defense in NPR.. 700 yards between two players. Pathetic D.

Cotey’s Top 10 - Love the lowdown on NCT! Too funny. You seem to enjoy getting people riled up Cotey. I like it.

Like the balance of play calling by dun dun coaches but passing plays took too long. Quick short passes (alot of them) mixed in with running and no one can stop it. Largo is too fast to have slow developing plays against. I'd keep Blair in on every play! His speed warrants defensive attention! Threw one hitch, got 8 yards and never ran it again! Run plays that work!!

Do not have #11 back to receive punts!!!! Austin has the best hands and head on the team!! Get him the ball often!!!!!! Great things will happen!! Keep Blair in at all times!!!
Hes fast and very elusive!! Keep best players in on every play!!! Kim, Adarius, Austin, Blair and Chad!!!
Defense won't know what to do!!!!
Quick short passes!!!!!!! slants hitches,curls,outs and in the flat!!!!
Long passes don't work when you have zero time to throw them!!!! Unless you come back to the ball when QB is in trouble!!!

another game we got beat my coaching and not talent. the balance of pass and run was good, but the pass plays took way too long to develop. you cant call playaction passes, fake double reverses, and other long pass plays when your line cant hold for more than 3 seconds. quick screens, bubbles, hitches, hitches, hitches, arrows, slants, and swing passes would work wonders. think coach! if your o-line is giving up 5 sacks a game, you have to use quick plays to march down the field. you put bellamy in the slot, but u didnt throw it to him once. and take some shots down field. throw a few flys when they are in one man coverage. GROW SOME BALLS EVERETT! YOU CANT WIN BEING CONSERVATIVE!

Where did all these expert coaches come from. Why arent they coaching somewhere? Point is all you wannabes should crawl back in your hole and shutup. Football at every level has arm chairs that think they know. You dont have a clue. Keep watching TV and playing your fantasy games cause that is all you are qualified for

was that a type-o or was that correct
the yards that ft. meade got vs ccc it said 700 yards, and that they had
3 td called back is that right? because if it is what happened to the defense and offense did they shoe up or is ft. meade that good. someone can answer please.

Everett is a two faced jerk, but knows more about coaching than u jerks

thats what you think...i dont think you have gone to every dunedin game this year. people are figuring out how to shut down bellamy and everett doesnt know what to do. hes trying the passing game, but hes using the wrong plays

Everett Give the play calling to someone who knows how to run an offense. Even though you won you could
have easily lost due to your play calling. Run on 2nd and 15? 3rd and 10?
Not one slant to Carlos who works his tail off all year. I guess you don't want to run up the score. It wouldn't be nice. But you could have lost! JV one pass in a game! wow Same philosphy!
Some fans were yelling at each other in the stands over why you won't call at least 20 pass plays a game and have a balanced offense. We had 11 players squeezed in tight and they had 11 squeezed in too!! Run up the middle!
Caught them off guard right? Thats why this team lost to Largo. No balance! Drop back and throw. Timing routes short if too much rush! Watch the NCAA and NFL sometime. Spread the offense out.

If coach Davis or Weiner or Rodriguez had this talent they would score 50 points a game! Maybe you could hire one as offensive coordinator$?$

shut up walt - you are beating a dead horse

Go Falcons!!!! 6-2

the falcons are looking strong...a week off and then a showdown with palm harbor.....a must win....go falcons...great coaching everett
