Check the state track meet each year, SE, with a few exceptions, does not have the speed the rest of the state has either.tigerland wrote:8) Now, as far as what the problem is with SE Ohio football - in my opinion - we rely way too much on weights than we do speed. In all sports speed kills. I do not care if you can squat 600 pounds, bench 400 pounds, and dead lift 1000 pounds if your strong booty cannot catch me it does you no good. Speed, quickness, explosion, and tensile strength is much more important than is the weight room.
You can't rely no one or the other, you need a good balance of the two.
