What changes on the line do you suggest?

No personnel changes, just attitude changes in the line. They seem to take too many plays off. They did do much better against LC, but LC also didn't load the box with 9 or 10 guys such as Ashland did until later in the game, then you saw our offense sputter. Of course we ran the same play 20 or more times so eventually the D will catch on. I just think the Oline can do even better if they don't take plays off.

True but I hate to see a post where there is no "fight in a dog". Lewis may make the Devils think they are something they aren't. So many of the teams here are being weakened by opponents that give them a false sense of being able to hang. Belfry is going to have a big awakening when they meet Johnson Central. If Russell thinks the Ashland game is tough wait until Simon Kenton. Just don't like the schedules for all the teams. They are not challenging enough for a very good ball club such as Belfry, Sheldon Clark, or Russell. Some get completly hammered. While other just stroll right on into playoffs with a false sense of security.

I don't think the Russell players will walk away from the Lewis game thinging they are ready to win a state championship. We won't know where this team stands until after week 10. The last 3 games of this season may be the toughest 3 game stretch I can remember for a Russell team. The players should really pride themselves on trying to win all 3 and making a statement to all those doubters this season. Also, make a statement for the playoffs that teams better be ready to strap it on when the Russell team is lined up across from them at 7:30 on a Friday night.
