Things are not like they used to be.

Sarge said I was too smart to be a lineman! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] I could throw one heckuva forearm though.

lotta adversity, SUPPOSEDLY a rebuilding run, and made four straight region D championship games, only lost to GC one.

im EXTREMELY glad and supportive of this senior class.

The hands/arms part goes back to what beast was saying, staying low and driving is alot easier on a smaller lineman because they usually dont have the 350 bench press to make the hands/arms approach useful.

You can't please some people. Especially those "fans" that never played or were never part of all of those great championship teams. Watching from 50 yards away makes them experts though.

I completely agree. 99.9% of HS lineman around here need to be in a 3 pt stance all the time.

Bingo!!! we have a winner!

Id also think it would help a smaller quicker lineman to already be low, because they can use quickness and being in a 2pt stance would probably encourage getting back on your heels.

If I'm a D lineman lined up against an O lineman who is standing straight up, my mouth is watering. Cuz, when the ball is snapped he's taking a forearm to the bread basket and when he's off balance he'll be put on his a$$...Low hat wins...has since the day the game was invented, and still hasn't changed.

You have to work with what you have. PV didn't have the personel to run a power offense. I would have loved to seen them run a slit back veer similar to what Middlesboro KY runs.

Do you really think that from 83-01 that PV had the personnell custom made for the I year in and year out???...no, but they managed, and had some continuity, and it was good for 8 titles...If it ain't broke, why fix it ??
