[PaytoPlay]

They did use Messer. Obviously not as much as you hoped they would but they used him. In fact, he was prominantly featured in big moments - as in the Ashland game.

I too would like to see a bit more play action (or even straight drop back) passing on 1st down. Haywood obviously likes to run the ball on first down and get yardard so that his offense stays at the proper down and distance. If 1st down results in an incomplete pass, you have two downs to pick up 10 yards. It is very hard to argue with his philosophy because it works great 95 percent of the time. Now that Warren has a year under his belt in the offense, perhaps he will be more willing to go to play the air on 1st down.

I apologize for not referencing Justin Johnson in my previous post. I was there in Ashland and for Breathitt County though, and don't paint me optimistic on his return. I hope I am wrong because he is a tremendous talent.
