The great thing about the Wooster-Orrville game or Orrville-Wooster, however you prefer to refer to the game is that nothing really matters until it comes down to that night. Whichever team comes in with an attitude and is ready to play football will win. Nothing that happened before or on paper makes much of a difference

Tough questions to answer and I sure don't have the answers. In the old days on a bad year I would say we would still crush a WCAL team by 40 pts. I can not say that anymore and it makes me sad to say.

If the kid is to tired to snap the ball then get the heck out of the game.

Yes, you will bench some starters and/or seniors, however, (teaching moment), they must surely learn that in life, there will certainly come a time when your position will be challenged and or lost when your effectiveness, experience and leadership is non-productive.

Well...if Davault decides to stay with the spread next season...then he needs to start giving L. Smith some snaps (frosh). He seems to be more of a pocket passer, but his running ability is not that of Short. I like Bryce at a slot or WR...

Move Zook to wideout...we will be thin there next year. Give him looks now.

Summers...either TE or fullback to lead block for Dyson and Inman.

Palmer...Wideout/fullback. He needs to touch the ball on offense.

Thats my thoughts, however thats why I am not coaching!

The last 6 weeks this team hasnt even been competitive in a game. Its not like we are losing by a point or two. I do not see this team getting any better as the season progresses. A tough schedule? Yes it is however I am not sure this team could beat Waynedale or Chippewa at this point. Does it actually bother the kids playing the game??? Another serious question!

We should probably go back to some "open right, barrel, 50, cover one"! LOL, Given your thoughts on position changes that would have made sense my senior year I TOTALLY respect your opinion on positions. Just because your not a coach does not mean you don't make sense!!!

It will be interesting to see what the coaching staff does this offseason.

We need to get better up front as well! My brother once told me that one of Mo's favorite sayings when asked how the team would be prior to the start of each season..Mo's response...."No Line, No Good! You can have all the thoroughbreds you want, but with no horses up front to open those gates...they can't go anywhere!"

sanitizer;1290363 wrote:Yeah aint that the truth. I saw a few of the lineman from this year working out. They seemed strong and dedicated but SEVERELY undersized! I don't care how strong you are at this level when you have 220 to 250 lb kids (opponents) leaning on 175 to 200 lb kids (Orrville kids) for four quarters it sure makes for a long night!!! I really couldn't believe how small they looked to me. Now believe me I KNOW size isn't everything but WOW!!! Add to that some drops and some penalties and you have some hard work ahead of ya. With all that being said I hope they can put all they have into the end of this season and finish strong! Sometimes no matter how hard you work or want something is just doesn't always work out. It is the journey that makes us stronger and I hope they can learn that. Times like these should make the sweet taste sweeter......tough season for sure!

Old Rider, tell your brother to keep up the hard work - Red Rider faithful are behind them all the way!!!
