Couple of things....

LexCath and Boyle have good OL and occasionally have kids go both ways. We've been doing it most of the season. While I agree, putting your "best players" on the DL too might have been the right call but against a skilled and well coached team like Boyle, it would be a tall task to ask them to play at that high of a level without getting reps in the season.

Getting a rush on the QB isn't as easy as you think it is. The next two offenses Belfry plays are not typical high school passing games. Both QBs can beat you with their arms. If you can't get to them very quickly, it will be a TD, especially with the Rebels. The Rebels are VERY fast and once a pass is caught in the open field it's bad news for the D. They run great routes and have great hands.

It's like us with our D. How are we going to play vs Belfry? Stack the box? Play straight up like every game? I'm not sure. Last years team we'd have played straight up but would have been successful, this year some injuries have taken their toll so we'll see if we get a matchup with the Pirates. It may have a lot to do with how we perform vs Lawrence Co vs the run. The big thing about our D is our DBs can play man vs Belfry WR if we decide to stack the box.

Lol! Our WR's will surprise you. I hope and pray Coach Smith just plays man on them.
