it is unfair for you to talk about a kid in the way your talking about Zach Smith. He has done a good job this entire year like many kids he will make a few mistakes. I challenge you to sit down and watch film of the line. It has been better then you and some others has been talking all year. The line offensively and defensively has played well all year. In the games that Russell has lost they played better then any others on the field. They have surpise me by the way they are playing (Smith) included. When Russell is successful the backs have to block well also and hit their holes.. I would bet if you watched films of the games you may see this as being some of the problems. The biggest problems for this team has been mistakes from all players and some listening to someone like you.

For the part of not watching another Russell team until Ivan retires. I personally don't care if you ever support Russell again. Your not really supporting them now.

I have seen film, and I watch the games live. The pressure is always coming from the left tackle side, its the truth. Abrams does a terrible job blocking from the wing also. If the kids don't want to hear some criticism, I expect they would put forth a little more effort and pick up their level of play. The kids listen to me? I haven't hardly talked to any of them, and I almost never talk about football in a critiquing manner. However, this team is not playing to its abilities, blocks are being missed, and there's no excuse for someone who is 6'1" 225lbs to be side stepping running backs. I'm not gonna name a name here, but that kid probably won't see much defense anymore. For some reason, some not all, seem to shy away from contact, heck that was the only reason I ever played was the legal violence you were able to dish out on the football field.
