Saw them for the first time this week. Their defense has always been fun to watch, but they are definitely lacking compared to anything I've ever seen from them. So many big plays where guys were running free. Looking at rosters, only 1 defensive player returned from last years team (#5) and he was playing a new position. Offensively, a few single digit numbers were in jerseys only, I'm guessing some skill guys that might be injured??? Pretty sure their one deep threat was a soccer player until this year, I remember the name from the loud speakers over at School Field. Robinson is a stud, but it looks like teams are pretty aware of that and are game planning to take that away with the lack of other threats. Found it strange that Robinson didn't throw the ball, a few trick plays with backs or receivers throwing it. Lots of 10's and 11's playing for them, that hasn't been their norm. Usually a Senior led group. Looking at LaPorte's recent scores, outside of the NP game, the offense seems to be having similar results to previous seasons over there.

Unless those outside corporation buses starting picking them up at their doorstep like SB Schools do, those kids aren't the ones going anywhere.

As someone who has watched this team beat up on many of teams in the NIC the last few years, I didn't see the head coach in a lot of the timeout huddles. Not sure I have ever seen that before in HS. Is that normal procedure these days? Also, I don't remember seeing Gumm actively apart of operations this season compared to the past few. I saw NP live in action vs Marian and some SB opponents midway through the season and don't think he was calling plays. Just from my observations of a really good team in the area, thought that was a little unusual to see on the sidelines,.
