Clintwood-Haysi thoughts

Man did we destroy you all or what! That was one of the best games I ever seen and then to come on here and read a player for Clintwood crying about it!

Now that I have had a few laughs about it, it really was a good game for us. We came out and took you out of the game immediately. Obviously Grundy had nothing because neither your offensive line nor your defensive lines could do a thing. No protection for 8, and no pressure on Compton equals a big win for us. I think your defensive coordinator is trying to do too much, he was jumping around like a lunatic over there trying to make adjustments and the moment you guys would try to adjust we would run a play, it was perfect. That kind of junk worked when you had a Moore in there who knew what to do and could do it quick, but with a bunch of young guys like you all have, keep it simple stupid. Worry about tackling and people just doing the simple stuff before you try to open the playbook on them.

Good luck Clintwood. I hope you all win a bunch of other games now. I'm proud of my Tigers. I said we didn't need to win this game but just worry about Honaker but I'm glad we won this one. Nothing like putting a beating on the Green [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/getsmile.tmp007816300.gif[/img]

I don't agree with your rub it in attitude but you are making a valid point about Clintwood's defensive strategy. It appears to me they are trying to do too much. Alot of the short pass plays that Haysi was running were very simple routes and plays that you run in JV but guys were coming WIDE OPEN without a defender 10 yards from them. At some point with H.S. kids you have to simplify things and say this is what your assignment is, this is what we are running. Don't adjust to everything the offense does...make the offense adjust to you.

I think I would have worded that a little bit differently but those are some valid points. No denying it.
