All I've asked the kids is for them to get us four yards. It doesn't even have to be a pretty four yards. |
Although we ended up on the short end of the scoreboard, we got some questions answered. |
Coach Taylor will give us just a little different look as far as the defense goes. |
Greenwood had more people in the stands at Fair than Fair did. They drew big numbers all year long. It was just electric. Everything they did was electric -- the way they came on the field, the way they lined up. They were not a real big team. They were not a real fast team. But, they took it to Fair. Their kids reminded me a lot of our kids size wise. |
Our junior class has a year's worth of experience. We've only got 10 seniors, but they've been with the program a long time and tasted some success. We feel like they're the ones who've overcome since their freshman year. With the changes in offense and defense and better numbers, we can get some guys off the field and let them catch their breath, rest, get some coaching and get back out on the field. |
Our level of execution seemed lower than what it was against Barton. |
Our line play versus the run is going to be a key. We're going to have to play disciplined on defense. No matter what offense someone plays, if you get whipped up front, you're not going to win. We saw that when we looked at last year's tape, but we've made some adjustments. |
The Brinkley Tigers are always dangerous because of their athletic ability. We've had a tough time with them the last couple of years. |
The defense really saved the night for us. You're not going to be able to say enough about the way the defense played. |
They are always looking to bring a linebacker on a blitz from somewhere. |
They executed their offensive and defensive game plans pretty well. |
They give you a little bit of everything to work on. If you don't go out well prepared, make your tackles and so on, they're going to take it to the house on you. |
They'll just do whatever they need to do on defense to shut you down. |
We have some sophomores who can plug holes, but last year many of our sophomores never came off the field. That's different. |
We need to speed up the tempo of the offense. That's important because it will wear on the defense. In the last eight minutes last week, you could see it was beginning to wear on the Paris defense. |
