I disagree with the passing comment that there was no time, yeah there's no time when 9 guys are coming and you try and play action, you gotta do quick passes over the middle and the sprint passes and let AJ get some room with his speed. Ashland sold out on the run and said beat us through the air. We played right into their game plan and never changed a thing.

I agree the team acted like they did not care one bit.
Our D was atrocious, but once again it was 6-3 @ halftime and no adjustments were made at all.

They should have brought Dave and AJ out on D and thrown in another lineman and another linebacker.

Ashland can not beat anyone passing this year, they have no choice but to run but yet we kept 4 db's on the field instead of throwing different packages @ them.

When a team is bringing the house you can not run play action I don't know what is so tough about that. I'm not even a football coach and I know that.

The wing t works to perfection when you have a bigger stronger more athletic team but when you play teams who are just as big and strong and athletic or even more, and they load the box?? You can't run Abrams off tackle 20 times and expect to win.


Also I will die a happy man if I never see another Russell team run those stupid reverses. They work about 1 out of every 20 times.

These kids need to put this loss and embarrassment on their shoulder and use it as motivation for the rest of the year, I can also say I think the coaches should do the same. This is the worst loss for a Russell team since 2001. I can promise you its not the most untalented or gifted. So there has to be something wrong there.

UTILIZE the players we have and what THEY are good at.

Your 100% correct...we should probably turn to a spread offense...we'd do much better then
