Week 1 thoughts

I thought Clintwood looked good they scored on all but there last posision of the game and did it through the air and on the ground.

Good points : 1) The QB is SMART and make good dissions and has a better arm than last season as well as being a step faster. 2) Backup players looked very solid they scored a 2nd half TD and almost helped pitch a shutout (Coburn scored in the final Min of the game)

Bad Points : 1) To many penalitys 2) Neep to protect the ball better 2 fumbals (even though Clintwood got them both back) and dropping an INT will not cut it vs better teams




PV may start talking about bringing back the spread if they do not have a better showing over the next few weeks

Appy may not oppose consoladation the next go around if the season continues on this path

Burton is as fast as ever and are more than capable of winning the district again still no word on how there QB will preform under pressure

Kelly is starting off strong and may be a real player in who wins the LPD

Pound looks to be a much improved team and while I don't see them in the playoff picture this season i do see a much better record

I'm not really sure what you all expected out of PV. Honestly, I figured we would lose to Lee High, and hell we should have. They have twice the team we do. We just have better coaching. I don't care who you are if you lose 10 starters on offense your going to struggle. They are improving every week, I prefer that we go to the T but thats just me.

I was very surprised by the 6-0 score. I hadn't seen PV but had seen Lee and Lebanon twice against Kelly.

Lee didn't seem like a team that could compete with what I was expecting from PV.

They didn't look very good defensively in the jamboree at Norton, especially against Burton. They've got good skill people in QB Tyler Mullins and receiver Scotty Woliver, but the line seemed a bit soft. Lee did drive the ball the length of the field against Burton 3 times but I thought that was mainly due to Burton missing a couple of defensive starters.

Lebanon seemed to be a much better team than Lee.

I was not trying to bad mouth PV but was suprised that Lee pitched a shutout for 4 qtrs and with Lebanon and Richlands comming in the next 2 weeks with what should be better Ds than Lee I wonder how long Phil will let things play out

PV will get better as the season goes on. If they can keep their heads above water early, they'll develop into a good team. An overtime victory in game one is a start, especially since many were predicting them to start the season 0-5.

I think PV will do fine if they get Burke starting at QB where he should be. But, that will never happen.

Why not?

Because Lusk was a done deal couple years ago.

I'm not sure of the QB situation and I have no clue about PV and who plays were but, Burke should be on defense as well as lusk too.(They may already be, no clue)

I really don't have a preference but they need to pick one. I do think it's ridiculous that they change QB's mid-drive. Against, Lee High Lusk completed a pass, and the next play they put Burke in???? I don't care who plays but don't switch QB's mid drive.

I don't care if it is a run oriented offense and you say anyone could play qb, you don't change in "midstream". It usually give the rest of the offense the imprerssion that you are not sure if the one can do it, so you are gonna let the other try. Not a confidence builder in my book.

How about this idea? Let the QBs sub every play and take the call in. That way the OC gets to talk to each QB on the sideline before they go in.

Not a fan of rotating qb's. Especially in high school. QB is normally the leader of the offence, and that is a position that needs stability. Just my opinion though.

I think rotating QB's is dumb, unless they are different styles and even then I still think it's not best. Burke and Lusk both are pocket passers, neither one of them are going to be all region d players. They need to pick one and move on, maybe they'll catch fire with one of them. With the offense we are running now we just need to complete 5-7 passes a game anyway. I'd personally be more concerned with the right side of the offensive line.

I agree, PVs main problem for the last few years has been their offensive line. Absolutely no blocking.
Aside from that, I still say PV is much better off using Burke as QB. Maybe im wrong, but it seemed PV ran the ball much better when Burke was in the game simply for the reason their was a REAL threat of pass. When Lusk was in the game, Lee just stacked the line and was on top of Myron every play. Then when Burke came in Lee eased back.
When it all comes down to it, PV needs to be running an I formation. Switch out fullback and tailback between Myron and Jordan, and have a lead blocker for goodness sake. Even throw to Myron some out of the backfield like they did Matt Stidham back in 89 and 90. I dont think I ever saw that play fail back then when they needed a first down.

I've been screaming to throw Myron the ball for over two years now. The CW game last year especially.

Like shooter said, regardless of what they do, they need a lead blocker in the backfield. When they used one the other night they were productive....but really, how many times did they use one. I really think the limited playbook was due to the fact they want to hide what they really plan to do from Lebanon and Richlands.

The last few years PV has been in the I against us(Appy) for quite a bit of the game. When they had Murphy for a fullback and Myron at tailback they were really tough to stop.

WHY? they were 2 feet from loseing the Lee game I don't THINK they were holding back much.....That being said PV has been a spred team for several years now so I am sure they will get more comforfable with this new set the longer the season goes

If you had seen it you'd know what I mean. There wasn't a plethora of plays..but there was about 25 blue million formations and players used. As far as effort, they weren't holding back. As far as scheme, there was alot held back IMO. The last 2 plays of the game, the same play was run...and it was only run from that formation with the same personnel 2 times all game long (those 2 plays in OT). I think they found their stride then, but they also tipped their hand.
