I am sorry but I will have to disagree with one statement that Fball made. I think that Jones and Foster are very missed this year.

Absolutely Ashland had alot to do with that loss. The fact that Russell lost is not what has most of us concerned. It is the turn it on turn it off effort and the individualism that does.

Jeepman is right. They are not in sync yet. They have a new QB and that has been the major adjustment. Cordle throws a very good ball. Probably throws a little bit better than what Tyler Jones did last year. Where the problem is that I can see is he is having trouble seeing recievers and when to throw. Cordle is not as big and strong as Jones. He is having trouble getting passes off under pressure. Jones would stand in there and could throw with a couple of guys hanging on him because of his size and strenth. Jones would also take off and run with it if everyone was covered. This is something that Cordle needs to do instead of holding on to the ball to long. If the reciever is not open just take off.

I'm not knocking A.J.. I think has done just fine. But it is an adjustment that takes time to work out. Cordle is a better passer in space. Some quicker routes and some formations that take some of the pressure off of him would help him.

This is a very talented Russell team. Just as talented as last year if not more. They do miss Jones and Fosters toughness from last year. Right now they need a mean streak. Not just one or two guys but the whole team.

They miss it alot. Especially on defense.

No need to say you are sorry about it. People disagree with me all the time.
