BelfryJustice Wrote:You are so wrong my friend. We are just telling how it is and has been at Belfry for many year. We will be ready when the time comes. Preseason doesn't go down as a W or L. Belfry will use this as a learning tool and that is all. They will be fine when the season starts.

Thats exactly right and little does he know that not all of those posts didn't come from Belfry fans but just from football fans in general....excuses LOLOL its this way every year Rolleyes

people crack me up

I've heard MANY people make these comments about our line and talking about how our QB couldn't do his job because of No blocking. But I also hear they have been doing great at practice and that there were a few last minute changes and they do use these games as a learning tool soooo they shouldn't get their feelings hurt! Just keep learning and keep getting better!! Im thinking they'll be just fine!!

Oh my gosh!!!! This is preseason! Our boys have been in full pads for 2 days. This is not an excuse for the preformance. It is a fact! Everyone knows the philosophy of the Belfry coaching staff. Their concentration is on getting better everyday and peaking at the right time. Belfry has yet to start school and haven't been able to get into full pads as much as the schools that have already begun classes. These type of threads start every year with the bashing but we can rehash it let's say around.........Thanksgiving when Belfry is deep into the playoffs. Not after 1 SCRIMMAGE!

Sarrr Wrote:I'll say this: as a former lineman, Belfry REALLY needs to work on the O-line. They were just porous the other night. When your QB gets hit faking a handoff on a play action pass, something is way wrong. Also, the RBs weren't really running THAT hard. I don't know if they were just slow in the heat, slow in the preseason, or if they've slowed down this year, but both Maydo and CC looked a lil sloppy compared to last year. Phil looked great though. I'd have liked to have seen more of Heath with the first string offense, but I can't take anything away from how Phil ran when he had the opportunity. He had a great run and would have scored but barely stepped out.

Defensively, we did well other than against the pass, and 2 running plays. Either JC scored on the run, or we shut them down completely. IIRC they ran for 2 TDs, and all the rest of their running plays were stopped at the line or behind it. Also, they exploited a certain sophomore DE who shall remain nameless, but who should have been pass rushing and not covering recievers in the first place.

TBH though, I was only disappointed in the O-line. Now, if JC has 3 or 4 first team D-linemen when all state is announced, then I will not be nearly as disappointed in the big guys then as I am now.

If any of our O-linemen read this, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Advice I'd give you is to work on being quicker off the snap. You should aim for hitting the D-line while they are still in their stance. Do that and you own them, no matter how much they bench, squat, or weigh. Get Ryan in the groove of calling plays on something other than 1 to help you out. If the D-line anticipates a play on 1 and you always run plays on 1, then they've taken away your 2nd biggest advantage. At least they still don't know yet where the ball is going though. Also, gotta hold 'em up for a little bit on a screen pass. I always counted to 3 in my head.

That bold part just cracks me up.... Smile

:Thumbs: I agree completely except for the part that I dont really see any Belfry bashing going on except for some out of towners who dont know Belfry football and who love to see us do bad and who think we're just making excuses.....

I agree scrimmages are just scrimmages. When the ashalnd tomcats had a down preseason their season was nothing but high flying games. they are like practices but minus the drills.

Ok "bashing " was harsh. I agree with you.

I'm just gonna say this....Belfry is BELFRY...don't ever count them out!

On the other side....JC looked good....looks like our new guys are growing into their positions.....Didn't that #17(wink,wink) streaking to the end zone bring back wonderful memories!

OK2NV · 08-10-2006, 12:30 AM

HEY, HEY, HEY!!! Belfry will be fine! Why would anyone judge their whole season on one pre-season game? I am a Johnson Co. fan but I also know BELFRY! They will be just fine and it is my opinon that they will play for a chance to go back to the carpet. GO BELFRY!

BelfryBuck · 08-10-2006, 01:12 AM

I think Belfry will be fine,no Belfry does,nt have the speed of the last few yr,s, so that being said I think that they will have to go backto 3 yards and a cloud of pellets , not the big play, mix in 8 or 10 short pass plays to keep other team a lil bit off balance and play hard nose defense as usual and I think they be in the hunt come playoff time. Go Big red.

did belfry have any good freshman players that played varsity/jv/freshman?

Everyone knows that Belfry plays everyone. No matter what the outcome of the game is. Just like Sheldon Clark does. These games let you know what you need to work on.
