I'm not a fan of the scheme either as we run basically the same thing. I don't think the scheme had much to do with Russell's inability to move the ball though. Raceland owned Russell up front and they could not keep our defense out of the backfield. Russell used to have some really big strong guys up front. What happened to that? If I were a coach at Russell, I would make the weightroom the primary focus in the upcoming offseason because they did not look very strong and it is hard to win many games if you are physically weak.

Orange Man I agree with you. I truly in my heart believe the zone blocking has made Russell soft. The kids are the same stumpy low center of gravity thick legged kids Flatwoods has always produced just the wrong scheme. And to your question I ask the same thing myself! They claim to have this better conditioning and weight lifting system now, but you never see it pay off!
