[Fly Like a Duck]

Well, I agree with you duck, somewhat. I agree that we have talent. But, I swear to you if you looked at the last 3 games of the year, we were outsized at almost every single position on both sides of the ball. Then you consider the fact that OC even had more speed. That should tell you something about what he does. He has a system where he programs these kids to not just think they are the best but, that they fully know they are the best. I promise you it is a fact. If I've heard it once from my own, I've heard it a ton. The Wburg state game, they controlled most of the first half. They controlled the clock. They owned all the stats. After the game, my boy said he never felt like there was any chance that they would not win. Now, did you catch that wording? He didn't say lose. He said he never felt like they wouldn't win. Again in the McCracken game. Again in the Caldwell game. Again in the OC game. Again in the DeSales game. I think you can see the pattern. This when you look across the line and see a much larger and equally talented group but, you absolutely know that you will win. They play like caged tigers as a result. That is coaching!!!

I totally understand where you are coming from, I do.

But, I'll take Speed over Size all day long and twice on Sunday. I didn't see O'Catholic a lot this year (none actually), but at best...you line up your skill kids vs theirs in a track meet, it's a push at best (advantage Mayfield).

Now that whole belief thing? Agreed. That's coaching + belief+ playmaking.

About Caldwell, though; the worst thing Caldwell could have done was tackle your WR out of bounds with those 1-2 ticks left. He takes one more step and there is no FG, game over.

I get where you are coming from, though, trust me...I do.

Edge is a dang fine coach. As is Clevenger (who I thought would get it) and nothing needs to be said about Joe. You all, as does everybody knows his worth. I can promise you that he isn't worried.
