Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
Bevo
by your standard i think this defense would already be an improvement over last year. That defense last year was horrible. My bright spots as far as defense was there were very few missed tackles. i counted 11 in the first half, but over half of those came from one player who came in after a starter had to leave the game. And that is a huge improvement over a year ago. Biggest problem i saw was when we won those line of scrimmage battles at positions we did not do so in control and ran ourselves out of plays. That comes from lack of experience. We won't play many more experienced lines then we played last night exception next week.

JMO --- a lot of 2 way guys so younger guys need to step up when in there and look for them to run a slow paced ball control offense.

Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
That is what i thought also. i was almost shocked at how fast we snapped the ball on offense Friday night. maybe they wanted to go up tempo like that to get ready for the Athens game. I am not sure. I think we also need to hand the ball off more over half of our plays were quarterback runs. i think that works in a passing attack but not in a run dominated offense. We will see and hope for the best.
Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
The reason they snapped the ball in 15 sec every snap was the coaching staff has no clue what they are doing. They do that vs Athens and give the Bulldogs 10 extra plays in the game that prob means 14 points or more. Why hurry up to punt?kvnchambers wrote:That is what i thought also. i was almost shocked at how fast we snapped the ball on offense Friday night. maybe they wanted to go up tempo like that to get ready for the Athens game.

Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
I think this staff has clue and i think there was a reason we went Friday night. I was given a theory about it today and if they slow down next week i will believe it. if not then i will not understand. I call it a theory because i have no idea if the person who told me knows what he is talking about or not. But it had to do with starters only playing a half and they wanted to push them when Adrenalin was running in game situations and some other stuff but we will see. i see going up tempo if you have a team on their heels but not all the time with that many kids going both ways.

Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
last years game had 124 offensive snaps. i would think gallia would at least want to find a way to keep that under 100 this year. if there is 124 snaps they will put up at least 70

Not saying it will, but this could be one of the first games where we see the running clock rule put into play. It will be interesting to see the impact of that on some of the lopsided scores of recent years.
Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
Who will give Athens a game this year? Not sure what zville returns from a great team. Stuebenville should be good, see how they do with all the distractions. Anyone else?

Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
Gallia shouldn't feel bad because it will be the first running clock of many of Athens' games. 10 game regular season look for 7 or so to have a running clock at some point in the second half...Jackson would have had one last year as I believe it was 49-0 or so...so unfortunately Gallia Academy may be first of many to be on receiving end of a Bulldog running clock.4th n Goal wrote:Not saying it will, but this could be one of the first games where we see the running clock rule put into play.

But then there is always next year, and as an old guy there is one thing I know for certain...the wheel does turn.

My gosh guys, the way some people are talking you'd think the Denver Broncos were playing the little sisters of the poor or something. I like most think Athens is the favorite but, I think Gallia will make it a pretty good game for much longer most of you.

True - but that wheel was stuck in the wrong spot for Athens for about 20 or 25 years ... everyone keeps saying "we'll pay them back after Burrow graduates." ... for some reason folks forget about the 50-0 poundings Athens took for years.doubleplay643 wrote:4th n Goal wrote:But then there is always next year, and as an old guy there is one thing I know for certain...the wheel does turn.

93, lol you got to remember one thing when you are the one getting drubbed (the "drubbie") no one is getting too upset except obviously those that follow that team; however, when you are the one doing the drubbing (the "drubber") you are making 10 teams and their fan bases upset and when you do that lol for 2-3 years well...guess what...everyone wants the wheel to turn faster lol.93Bulldog wrote:True - but that wheel was stuck in the wrong spot for Athens for about 20 or 25 years ... everyone keeps saying "we'll pay them back after Burrow graduates." ... for some reason folks forget about the 50-0 poundings Athens took for years.doubleplay643 wrote:But then there is always next year, and as an old guy there is one thing I know for certain...the wheel does turn.
It is great the Athens' community has enjoyed this success, honestly it is deserved and has been handled humbly and professionally. Good luck this season and in the play-offs I will tip my hat to the program.
Re: Gallia Academy @ Athens 8/29 week 1
Athens hasn’t won at home against Gallia sense 87 when Adams was a soph.
I’m sure that streak will come to an end Friday.
