A couple of random observations....

I agree with Lung, I have a feeling that Burrhead probably isnt the first person to tell them they are playing like poop either. If they can make it through two-a-days and things like that, they can stand a little ridicule from the fans.

The question is, are they playing that bad or are they just not good? What changed between last year and this year? I thought they had almost everyone back?

They lost 1 linemen and that's it. They played great the first two games. I know that the competition has been better the last two weeks, but you can see it's partly an effort problem, maybe a focus problem, and missing Robinson two weeks ago and him maybe not being at 100% still on Friday had something to do with it. I think they'll play much better this Friday night. If they don't it could be the start of a long slide.

Call me crazy but if they have last years form for friday night, they can win. PV has to be somewhat beat up, that was a physical game the other night. PV did look good but Burton didnt play their best game by any stretch of the imagination. As I expect Clintwood to give Burton a good game, I expect them to give PV a good game.....unless they have regressed to the point of not being able to turn it around.

LPD Football is def not what it used to be, I really expect PV and JIB to lose in the state title game. Neither team has enough lineman to matchup with any team on the other end of the state, I'd say Franklin over JIB and Goochland over PV. JIB obviously has a much easier road, I'd be totally shocked if the Raiders didn't make it again, PV has to get through a very tough Lebanon team and Giles/GW. What amazed me more than anything about the PV/JIB game was the amount of penetration PV could get on JIB, I really didn't expect to see that. JIB may be in for another Riverheads situation up state, just pound it out on them, if PV gets there there getting run off the field, I see no way they can stop Goochland or Gretna.

The O-Line is having some problems IMHO they were just out maned vs Vol but vs Leb I just do not have an answer they pulled one guy and plugged in a new stater and he looked just as bad as the 1st starter.

It is my opinion that Clintwood may have to go into more of a straight power offence and hit Iso's and Dives hard (The Line seems to block that well and Clintwood moved the ball vs Leb when they did just that) the problem vs Leb was mainly on the counters and the Play action where a 2nd and 4 or 5 would turn into a 3rd and 12

On D call me crazy but I think Clintwood played pretty well until the 4th qtr Lebanon's entire offence was 2 long plays and the D game the O several chances in the 3rd but if you keep giving a team with that talent chances they will make you pay for it.

I am not sure how Clintwood will react after this loss the big thing to remember is that last season Clintwood started the year 2-2 as well and IMHO the 2 teams they have lost to this year are better than the 2 that they lost to last season.

I think PV presents some match up problem for Clintwood but Clintwood presents some problems for PV as well I look for this to be a pretty dang good game between 2 very good 2-2 teams

Not to take away from this thread, but I have a random observation. Grossman sucks. And why in the hell does the Giants own us (Skins)? We could be 3-0 right now. [censored] Giants. Sorry, Im done now. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

Hey man, you shouldn't have asked me to let you all enjoy last weeks win. I even predicted you to win this week. Heck, I might predict you all to be Big D twice now! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I think one of the best moves in the world would be to go ahead and put Josh Miles on the interior of the o-line and let Martinez Miles be the power back. They gotta get better up front.

Milton Bradley reminds me of Mount Visouvious by the way

and Rex does suck, its offical and theres no going back, he cannot improve. Send him to Atlanta today to be with the other 2 losers.

#11 for the Raiders is Tiki Barber. No many how many weapons the Giants had, it was Tiki left, Tiki right, Tiki up the middle, screen for Tiki. I dont want to see Ethan run one time against lowly Coeburn this coming week.

Is the Peters kid being used any on offense? Why not move him in there as well? Move the Gales kid or something? There are options, but you will have more kids going both ways, and it will thin down your backfield depth.

I hope Bradleys out for the year. That was hilarious, but the ump wasnt being very professional about the situation either it seems.

How many kids will we see donning those ugly @$$ Eagles jerseys from this past weekend? If there is 1 it is way too many. Please shoot them so don't have to feed them when they get older. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
