what was it, in 06 Belfry at Russell down 20-0 at half, they just keep to there plan and had game won if it wasnt for the flag,i dont think these guys would get rattled much,hope not anyway..

It was in 2005...even then Belfry deviated a bit from their normal gameplan as they threw several passes to the TE Chapman. Belfry also had Matt Maynard who was a big play threat on the outside every time he touched it. I think Belfry is better suited to pass then that team, but at the same time they don't have that homerun threat that Maynard served as who could explode on any given play. Johnson, Robinson, and Dixon have big play capability, but none of them at this point in their careers have the play making ability on the outside like Maynard had.

The irony of that game was that Belfry's passing with Chapman was what got them back in the game, but on the final interception Russell's Kasey Clark baited the throw once again and picked it off.

I wish Belfry would establish Messer more in the Chapman role though. Howie Dotson is a different player this year and has became a legitimate weapon at SE, but if Belfry could have a second weapon at TE that defenses have to respect it makes them all the more tougher to stop.
