Sometime in the tournament they will get hit in the mouth and face some adversity and how they react to that will be interesting to me. Friday could be that game. We'll see. Funny how the Debbie Downers say this year in and year out yet the Panthers find a way to win. Granted they've had their share of "hit in the mouth" moments but, then again, EVERY team has that at some point. Last year's game against Tipton came down to conditioning. IMO, that's what won the game. The CIC is weak.... everybody can agree on that. However, Coach Adamson makes these kids believe they can win and they treat every game like it's a state championship..... regardless of how good or bad the opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at Tipton in MS and then transferred to Western who is in our conference so our team knows him well. Not sure he’s the runner Bragg was but he’s a better passer for sure. Preparing for/coaching against both of them, Engle is definitely the better player. Bragg may have had a slightly better command of the O being in the system longer, but even for it only being week 2 (our week 1 due to COVID) Engle marched them down the field a few times and made plays with his arm and legs. They'll be a tough out as always with a touch more speed and throwing ability at QB to contend with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work out of Gas City and two of my bosses and a fair number of customers (most are named Roush) played at Eastbrook. They all have said the same thing repeatedly over the years... Adamson doesn't throw enough to keep good teams off balance and win big games. With Jett Engle in the fold that seems to have changed. Looking forward to Friday night, will be my first time chain ganging on an Eastbrook sideline. Ought to be a dandy of a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCGrad92 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 i find it hilarious when people say ... they dont throw enough to keep good teams off balance... If you run the ball well enough, guess what, you dont need to throw. Why would I want to throw the ball if I can average 4-5 yards per carry. Im sure Eastbrook probably does that easily., just looked it up, 6.3 yards per carry on the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fballfan15 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Eastbrook stats: Passing 2020- 96 ypg 5.8 attempts Passing 2019- 39.8 ypg 4.1 attempts Rushing 2020- 282 ypg Rushing 2019- 301.4 ypg Engle Rushing- 23 ypg Bragg Rushing- 52 ypg Eastbrook definitely throws the ball more and with better success this year. Seems QB last year was more involved in run game though. Run game is pretty much equal but more spread out this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue Pete Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Cant argue with success. Leo is trying the same formula. “Run” with what got u here. The key is Eastbrook/Leo defense. Need to be able to hold GOOD teams below 20 pts and win field position game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishuncle411 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Jimmies and Joe's or Run/Pass Game don't matter. Whichever schools lunch ladies prepare the better midday meal will determine this games winner. I checked Tipton's website...no listing of lunch menus in the month of October, but they have November all planned out and for the community to see. Makes me feel they will have a good Friday plan to get the boys ready to go. I checked Eastbrooks website...uh-oh, they're on Fall Break. Hope they make the sacrifice to still come in and make a solid post walk-through snack. Or maybe they and the boys peaked last Friday with Pizza Rippers and a Spicy Chicken Filet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbowzz Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 23 hours ago, Fballfan15 said: Didn’t realize he was playing defense as well. LB or Safety I assume? Hypothetical and a "What would you do" kind of situation. If your opponents QB of a high powered offense is also a starter on Defense, would you game plan to potentially run your offense towards that said player a little more often to try and wear the QB down so that maybe it would also effect the offense? If it were me, Yes. He may be a stud, but the more you get hit the more you are wore down. At least one rushing play if not more every series directly to the side that that player is on. If he lines up on a receiver, that receiver is automatically audibled to run as far down the field as possible, passing or running play.

IMO, way too early to be making that claim with the field that still remains in the 2A North. A lot of good teams still left. Ironically, a potential Semit-State opponent (Andrean) also has a new QB this year that transferred in from Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Andrean, Pioneer, Eastside, Luers (forget their record) & Fairfield, plus the teams in their own sectional, I'd say there are a lot of minefields to cross to get to state from the 2A North semistate. I'd take them one at a time for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t mean it as they didn’t have good balance last year. Just seem to use more guys this year. Last year they had 4 guys with 5 carries or more a game. This year they have 5 guys with 5 carries or more a game and another kid with over 200 yards and 11 yards per carry. Just seems like it’s a new kid with a big game for them this year. They’re always very balanced as far as running the ball goes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
