Marked Tree vs Earle, cross all the I's and dot all the T's, forfeit city here we come.

[Pit Bull]

Ok, with Marked Tree's entire backfield potentially out plus other players for the Big Brawl at the EPC Alamo, will this be a repeat of the junior high game that never happened? I don't know what to expect really....

[Dogg]

Suspensions will definitely hurt MT

[bdubyab60]

There were only 5 or 6 ejected on each side. Shouldn't be a forefiet. Earle can ne their score though.

[Dogg]

We owe MT a whipping

[bulldog2006]

Quick question? Why is this game being played in marked tree? We went to marked tree last year.

[Dogg]

Conference realignment.

I thought 42 said the Indians were loaded

i was being a fan. The talent is there it's just not coming together... Safe to say this season is not looking to good for us... I hope they prove me wrong. Time will tell.

[Dogg]

Getting out of the Double Wing would a good start

Getting out of the Double Wing would a good start

thats not the problem to me. Some fans want to see it go. I like it myself. Guys just can't seem to hold on to the ball. That's a lot of it with this team.

[Dogg]

Are we playing Friday 42?

[Donnie Jamon]

If this game is within 20 pts, EPC will beat Earle lol

As far as fumbling the other night for MT. One was on the punter handling a bad snap. One the QB just turned and dropped by what I saw.

Here is the issue and you can make of it what you want. Its hard to run double handoffs with defensive linemen driving your offensive linemen into the running backs. MT had their best success when they straight handed the ball off on sweeps and up the middle. When they tried to run the plays that are sort of delayed or require the double hand off we always had someone back there hitting someone.

That is exactly my feeling on this offense. And, as closely packed in as the offense is, the defense automatically has the box loaded. Also, with the backside guard or tackle pulling, the d-lineman left free is running the back down from behind. The only team I remember seeing run this offense in a dominating fashion was Gosnell back in their heyday.

A lot of teams ran it back in the day as they say. But Carlilse ran it for years and Wallis is a Waymire guy so MT is going to run it. You have to be able to block well to run it though and MT line isn't as good as it was last year and they don't have the breakaway back in Griffin that they had last year and Daniels who ran the play fakes really well. This year you can really tell where the ball is going and EPC for the most part shot the gaps and disrupted the timing. Even on the good runs it was mostly great effort by the back that got the yardage.

Also note that Carlisle had some mean and strong boys on that line and tough backs that could break tackles..
