TigerFan20 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 Some thoughts: Memorial and Castle didn’t have too many problems tonight, although VL did give Castle an Early scare Jasper is just dominant team and ran right threw Mater Dei Seemed like North was having troubles with Bosse, but pulled out late in the 4Q Central beating Reitz is something I did not see, as Central is depleted in depth. Sounded like Reitz has been having an turnover problem lately, 3 straight loses for the Panthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An accurate QB, 4 WRs who just run precision routes, an undersized line that punches above its weight and a RB who would keep your defense in check. Recently, Mater Dei seems to have trouble scoring and does some un-MD like things like TOs. Just a down cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently, Mater Dei seems to have trouble scoring and does some un-MD like things like TOs. Just a down cycle? While there are a number of issues on both sides of the ball, most of our struggles come down to poor execution, IMO. On offense, line blocking has been poor as has WR blocking downfield. Lots of offensive players standing around, watching people get tackled. On D, while our line is stout, we are having issues with our blitz pkg putting pressure on the QB. If we don't stop the run at the LOS, we are having trouble wrapping up & finishing tackles which has resulted in a number of longer runs on plays that could have been stopped for little or no gain. Staring off the season with Central, Castle, Memorial & Jasper - teams that traditionally have more size, talent & athleticism, has not helped but most starters are Sr's and Jr's who played a lot last year so they should know what to expect. The next 4 weeks will be telling. Hopefully MD can turn it around and get some momentum heading into the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshiners Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I’m not too concerned about MD yet. There’s a good chance they were just distracted wondering whether or not the Fall Festival would be cancelled this year. This season will hopefully be like a high school romance. The first few weeks with the chick are pretty cool, then you find out they have way too many cats and their family is weird, but then u realize prom is coming up and she’s cool with dates to weinzapfel’s tavern and it would be nice to have a date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerFan20 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Week 5 positive/negatives Positives -Castle is still dominating teams after their OT lost to Mater Dei and dropped 28 against VL in the 2H. Big game coming up with Reitz this Friday -Coach Lewis. That is all, dismantled a good Mater Dei like butter. Backup QB for Jasper was great all game - Memorial continues to improve each week and slowly finding new weapons on all 3 fronts. Alger is really good punt returner and Ellspermann looked a lot better last night too. Brodie had another big night too with 119 rushing yards -Huskies continue to improve after their 0-2 start by winning 3 straight games and dropping 49 against Bosse. Statement game against an really hungry and angry Mater Dei team soon. -Welcome to the win column Bears! After an extremely long game, Central came all the way back down from 21-14 late in the 4Q, tied the game, and made the game saving interception by sending it to OT. And 3 excruciating Overtime periods later, the Bears finally celebrated an well deserved victory, 39-38. And the first victory for the ZirkelBach Era at Central. Negatives -After starting over really good defensively in the 1H, looked like Alices collapsed in the 2H by Castle athleticism. At least it gets a little easier with Harrison on the horizon. -I was pretty disappointed in Mater Dei, since I thought the game would be a lot better for MD coming off the Memorial loss. Sounded like there are a lot of problems with the offense and defense for MD, which is worrisome against a hot Huskies team rolling in. -Harrison had some nice plays early on and a nice block punt for a TD. But the woes continue for the Warriors as they were held to only -2 total yards in offense and only 2 first downs the entire game -Unfortunately, it looks like Bosse is starting to lose their mojo after a nice 2-0 start to the season, taking 3 brutal loses. It also seems there has been an recent incident involving some players in a bathroom. These next 2 weeks do not get any easier -Just like Bosse, Reitz is still continuing to struggle by taking 3 straight loses. It appears they are having an Turnover problem with the Offense the last 2 games (5 INT in the North game). This Central game should’ve been easy for the Panthers, but more questions than answers. Can they turn their season around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough said Or this just may be what you can expect from this MD team. Last year in the SIAC they lost to the teams that at the end of the year showed by their records that they were just better teams . Their winning streak at the end was really due to scheduling since it was against the bottom of the conference. This year will probably be the same. The real question will be where they run into a strong team inn the playoffs. Luers is probably going to win the SAC and stood toe to toe with a team (Webo) that beat MD by 5 TDs at semi state. LCC seems a little down, but Linton is winning a lot games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From BobRef: If the intermission ends, and a team is not on the field, that is an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty charged to the head coach. 15 yds. If the team is out there, but can’t take the field because of, for example, the band show lasting too long, that is. 5 yd. delay of game penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFan20 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Picks Jasper over Central by 28+, don’t see the Bears stopping the Jasper train Memorial over Bosse by 28+, Memorial’s rushing attack is proving itself each week along with other improvements on O and D I’m going to take Mater Dei over North in a tight game by 7, though it depends on North’s QB availability Castle over Reitz by 18, I don’t see the Panthers stopping Castle, I think Castle pulls always in the 2H. However, it could be a close game in the 1H with that Staley+Maynard combo. But that Central game is demoralizing for the Panthers too VL an underdog against Harrison? I don’t think so, give me the Alices by 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
