East Region Playoff Discussion

[Frank Rossi]

Union guys....

How is their D-line? 

SJF has prided themselves on great offensive line play the past 4-5 seasons and has dominated some very good D-lines, especially when running the ball.

SJF's O-line averages 6'2" and 285lbs

Union's D-line has a pretty decent sized NT but their DE's are a bit smallish at 245 and 255....

Union should consider bringing up another defender to stop the SJF running game, SJF rips apart teams w/ 3-4 Defenses.....

YAWN...

Not used to talking football frank?

Football is fine.  Prefer realistic football, though.

Only if you think you can do it without some semblance of TRASH TALKING.

Tell me, what is unrealistic about what I said....

Unions D-line is undersized compared to the SJF O-line....

SJFs offense has done EXTREMELY well vs the 3-4 front....

Union's run defense wasn't the problem this season.  Speed and agility matter as much as size in the center of the field.  It's called "contain."

[superman57]

but if your d line is getting rolled over by the o-line by the time your linebackers stop the RB he will be gaining 5 or 6 yards a carry and you can't stop a team like that

Talk to Hobart about Union's run defense.

[Llamaguy]

Glad to see Wlikes Faithful on here finally.   Being the top team in the region, you should have at least one representative... even Curry has Representatives.  Washington and Lee haven't had anyone come over from what I've noticed...Guess they are stuck on the ODAC Board!
Welcome and good luck to your team (One That I know little about but am prepared to learn this coming saturday!)

Nope the W&L folks aren't on the ODAC board either. They are new to posting after the 10th game of the season I guess. I had planned to come up to the Wilkes/W&L game but thought it would look a little weird having a Bridgewater fan be the only one supporting the Generals. Guess I'll slide down to Newport News to see the CNU - W&J battle with about 5000 other fans.

but hobart doesn't have the o-line or the running back to match fisher, and I think everyone has said that Hobart is overrated this year

Speed and agility dont mean much if your lying on your back...

Seriously though, this line isnt just a bunch of fat slobs, these guys are very athletic and are extremely effective in the open space.  

They have delt with the "smaller" more "agile" players all year long and have not had a problem with those type of players....

Oh, yeah, 8-1 is overrated.  Pool C bid denotes overrated.  Maybe SJF is good on the run and the O-Line, but back it up with something more legit than, "Our O-Line outweighs yours by 50lbs man!"  Chances are, that scenario has existed in many games each team has played this season -- yet, both won their games.  Hmmmmm.

I mean i think we can all agree that the story of this game is not the defense it's all about the offense and it's gonna be whose defense can make the first stop... Fisher's line is and always has been very very skilled...these guys are big but are also some of the best athletes on the team

If SJF lacks an efficient pass attack, this is going to be a short game.  I dare SJF to win the game up the gut down-in and down-out.

so you obviously don't know anything about fisher then... because while they have one of the best RB's in d3... Kramer is no slouch, and has the ability to win games

The way you state it, he hasn't really been tested.  Very tentative statement, Superman.
