In Russell's past - if the pressure is on the qb that means that the team is playing from behind. Any qb that drops back with very little protection will struggle. I thought DeHoff made some decent passes for handling a wet ball with his receivers slipping all over the field. He was hit while releasing the ball on the one pic he threw. I still think the success in the next couple of years will be getting some linemen in the weight room and not trying to spread the field with the Wing-T. If they want to stay with the wing T at least they could move their full back over 2 feet and let the qb go out of a shotgun formation.

I completely agree with what was said here. I have known McGlone for 20+ years now and love the man to death but some things need to change. You hit the two major changes needed on the head. If you look at any of the succesfull teams around the area/state/country...the ones that always seem to be competing for titles and always seem to produce top notch teams are the teams with excellent weight lifting programs.

As for your second point, the Wing-T was great when you had Josh Gross and Kasey Clark in the back field with an above average size O-line. With a team that is smaller in size the shotgun gives you many more play call options, leaving the defence on their toes. A perfect example of this was the Ashland game. Russell had no idea what play was coming when Ashland walked to the line where as Ashland was stocking the box because it was very obvious what was coming.

Go Devils! :devilflam
