Re: Pound-VS-Haysi Scrimmage
This game overall was a poor performance on Pound's part. The offense just couldn't get the ball moving like they wanted. The only time when Pound did move the ball some was when the tailback cut to the outside and ran the ball. But when the FB tryed to move the ball up the middle, he was tackeled mostly as soon as the ball was handed off. Our linemen for the most part are very young and have little if any experience. Pound has 4 starters on the line that are out due to injuries. These 4 starter pretty much play both sides of the ball also. But even with these starters out, the ones replacing them did a poor job IMO. Defense-Pound was a little better than last weeks scrimmage. Still more room to improve if they even want to play the teams in the LPD.
Overall I was very disappointed in Pound's performance. We have starters that act like they don't know what using your pads to hit means. These players are supposed to be leaders but they sure didn't act like it. When a starter will not hit, block, or execute plays then they should ride the bench. And when some of the starters did try to make a tackle they were arm tackeling. What a joke!! Too afraid to use their pads and hit. There were some freshmen that when they got in to play really showed a desire to make plays happen and even seen them tackeling and hitting.
Pound's coaches really need to look at some of our players, cause they are playing positions they shouldn't. Key players are being shifted to play positions they've never played on Varsity level. Our recievers and tightends are really working on a passing game, but yet some of those are young and need experience. We just really need some adjustment on our OL. Without our starting OL we are hurting and it shows.
Haysi Offense- They looked good overall, even their second string looked good and really made plays happen. They more less done whatever they wanted to do. #7 really was one of their best players, short pass or long he was open. He will be the key player do doubt in games ahead.
Haysi Defense- They were ready to play football and did a heck of a job stopping our running game up the middle. They have some big lineman up front and some good size backs as well. Haysi had pretty good coverage on Pound's recievers, Pound had a couple of short passes that got some yards but not enough to result in TD's. Haysi's team as a whole wanted to hit and execute. I believe most of their starters played both sides of the ball as well. Haysi did a great job overall, doing whatever they wanted to do.
Hopefully this sheds some light on the game. I have a son that plays so I am somewhat biased to Pound, but overall try and respect the other teams coaches and players. I wish all teams good luck this year and pray for all players safety coming out of every game injury free.
