For disciplinary reasons we lost our best player. For the season. His parents came to practice and took him home.
Two weeks ago he got us about 300 yards in rushing. Two long runs were called back on penalties, his actual total was in the low 200s. He's scored for us in every game this year except for one.
He's our leading tackler on defense as well, fastest player, only true speed merchant we had.
His parents did the right thing, this is a notice to him.
We are going to have some major changes. Our other QB only plays on long passing downs and is a converted lineman. The early season no 2 moved to the next town and hasn't shown for practice or games in 2 wks, we were trying to allow his transfer to a team from the south side of the county. We play them this week also.
We're trying to maintain the D the same, I don't see how we will. The one adjustment is to flex a speed rushing end so he can chase down plays horizontally and keep people from reaching him at the snap.
I really don't think he's going to bring us what we lost but he may get to a few more plays on good rundowns.
As for our offense, with the other man in the pass set we only run quicks. He has to be on the OL for us to have any kind of run integrity on the interior.
We have nobody else who repped from under center. We're trying the full house power gun. That should get the ball in a runner's hand quickly without worrying about the under center exchange. It should convert our original base set(power pro) the same way. Most of our unbalanced looks(we go near/far, near to unbalanced side).
None of these guys have the same speed or big play ability. Several are as tough. We're going to try and just overload the point and run with numbers. A lot of sweeps, a counter(converts from what we did prior), and two passes.
Also I want to get a true belly since our four best blockers go from g-c-g-t going right.
My last plan is to flex the TE. If they move out with him we can still sweep, we get a good alley formed for running off tackle if they go with him, he gets some killer angles on down blocks, and the end can convert to a hot on those sweeps where we go halfback option every time the point people crash down.
