Prince,
“youth ball” that’s funny. and it’s funny you should say that, reminds me of a comment i heard last season. I was at Yorktown watching a game, they were playing Ossining. Yorktown was bullying Ossining with their size and strength, only chance was using the passing game, letting that big QB sit back in the shot-gun and pass. Anyway, almost the whole 1st qtr before they call a pass play and its a trick, halfback pass, by a kid with no arm and of course a pick. Late second half, when they sterted to run a hurry-up, shot-gun passing scheme, they sstarted to move the ball. These two guys were next to me, from Oss, I guess, and one guy says, “that’s the Oss coach, so thick headed, won’t try something new even when it seems to work! they’re calling plays like a modified or jv team”
Long story but I thought it was funny then and when you said youth ball, it cracked me up again.
o-line
it’s the truth all this time in the game and you still doing the introduction page of football
Let me give you guys a coaches point of view…
To run a true spread, run and shoot, type of offense, you need many parts to be insync. The protection, throwing(timing needs to be perfect), running the route, and catching all needs to be in harmony together. The public schools here in NY anyways, dont have that kind of time to work with players. They are playing other sports throughout the year and its a unwritten rule that players are off-limits when they are in another season.
This is not texas, the coaches arent full time coaches and the kids arent 1 sport athletes. We cannot practice year-round like other places or have PE classes strictly for football.
Furthermore, most players here in NY are 2-way players, so with them playing the whole game both ways cuts down their speed to run a true spread offense.
Some of you guys need to stick to watching oregon play and leave the coaching to the coaches.
Prince, we have a lot of “Coaches” on here.. or is it just a lot of different blogging names…
JUST
IT’S NOTHING BUT THE SAME PERSON!!.... THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME OPINION!!..... TYPICAL SECTION1 PEOPLE!...
FAN!!... AND WHO EVER ELSE YOU THINK YOU NOT!!!
IONA RUNS A SPREAD IN A SCHOOL WITH 600- 800 KIDS IN THE TOUGH DIV IN THE STATE!!!
AND EVERY YEAR THE FINISH #2 OR #3!.....PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US COUCH POTATOES!!.. WHY THEY ARE CAPABLE OF EXCUTING EVERYTHING YOU JUST LISTED ABOVE WITH A BUNCH OF TWO-SPORT PLAYERS PLAYING BOTH WAYS!! AND THE HEAD COACH IS THE BASKEBALL COACH!!!.... I CAN TELL WHY BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE COMMON SENSE NOT SMELL THE SAME HOLE THE REST OF YOU SO-CALLED KNOW IT ALLS ARE SMELLING!!... HOW ABOUT OPENING YOUR BRAINS PAST PAGE TWO IN THE BASIC FOOTBALL BOOK!!...YOU DIDN’T MAKE ANYSENSE WITH THAT POST!!..... HOW ABOUT YOU LEARN HOW THROW THE FOOTBALL THEN MAYBE INSTEAD OF US WATCHING OREGON MAYBE WE CAN WATCH YOUR SILLY A$$!!!...
Why does someone come on here called Fan and then say “Let me give you guys a coaches point of view…”?
Are you a fan or a coach? NY schools can’t have football kids practice year-round or choose not to?
PPR – - you have to consider enrollment in Fla, Texas, and Cali are much bigger then a NY School. Can you name a High School in Section 1 with a enrollment from 3,500 to 5,000?
HUSKY
ther are a couple of schools with 3,500 in new york state the days of the 5,ooo enrollment is no longer in the state i remember when dewitt clinton had 5,5oo kids kennedy in the bronx 4,500 but they have since broken the nyc schools down
new ro has i believe 2,800 and they have another 400-500 at st. gabes
O-line very good point
Prince, excellent POST at 3:48!!
Husky, very good/interesting Post!! What size enrollments are the best schools in CA, OH, TX, & FL. That can make for a huge diff in level of play.
o-line
didn’t i tell you the circle!.. are a bunch of funny guys!!... lol, lol,
just
that is a good question but they are saying florida smalls schools are better then our largest classifications!!... and remember what i posted before just about what the florida h.s. coach said to me about the state of florida only having 12 colleges that play football and they do not have d2 or d3 football in the hole state!!.. i dnt’ know if florida schools enrollment hits 5k maybe texas but i dn’t think cali is either if they do it’s not alot
Husky,
I think Arlington might be over 3k
Prince,
Yeah, that was funny! did you ever get that video to work? I saw the 1 you posted. Ciero is real good
o-line
you was the person that orig. ask twitter what did he do with football after his statement about keeping stats!!!.. he avoided the question!!!
NYSPHSAA does not allow mandatory practices beyond the end of the Post Season or before the specific start date. This year it’s Aug. 19th.
That’s another reason why 7v7s and minicamps are great for developing teams. It generates interest because it’s competitve and fun.
I agree wholeheartedly with Fresnobob at 6:22am and more info at 7:44am (scroll up).
Prince—i went to school in Florida and i can name a few schools that do have over 5k students—Spanish River HS, Plantation HS, Palm Beach Gardens HS and there is one near PGA Blvd i cannot remember the name, but they do exist in Fla
Husky!!
Thanks for the info!!! I’m not surprise a’s I think about north western has a very large population!!
Wow – - the schools i mentioned are all a tad under 3k enrollment, alot has changed since the mid 90’s. I know more schools have been built, and if any of you go to South Fla, shopping center or building go up so quickly down there. So i could imagine more school were built to make enrollment slimmer in some parts.
Husky
Really the numbers- are down!! I thought 5k was alot down ther but ther trying to cut down the large enrollment
All the schools i mentioned are just under 3k, i remember in 88 – 89 i went to Boca Raton High School for one year, Boca High was at 3,500 and Spanish River was at 4,800. Now, both schools are down meaning more schools were built and there cutting down on busing
Husky
You were on the lam back then too, geeze you started real early…...
Husky:
Should have stayed at Boca Raton HS.
Garnet you r trader, once a husky always a huskie
hollow 1-7 . can u or garnet ever say class a champs. i dont think so
Garnet – - I love how you come on here and all your posts are directly at me. I feel such a honor that i can give you that excitment. You really need to get a life and i love how you hide behind your computer screen and attack me always. You really are a loser. Why dont you ever talk about the topic or are you losing your marriage and u have to take it out on me, you wanna be yuppie
Husky
Lol!!.... O’$h!!t…. Losing in his marriage!!! Too funnnnnyyyy!!!!
O!!!... Husky dn’t waste your time with him he just trying to get a rise out of you!!:)
I did not play running back. LOL.
I was a QB and OLB. To understand that, you have to imagine 75 pounds disappearing. sigh….
Coach Michael,
I’m sure you know who I am. We’ve definitely talked randomly over the years… 10-12 of them now. Another sigh…
Twitter, only 75lbs..not so bad..
When your ready to come back to team JAF/Prince/Husky…we will let you back in…after you say 10 “STATS MATTER IN RECRUITING”!!
Twitter – Interesting, you were a Qb and a outside LB. Did you start at both positions and did you play both? I never heard of a starting Qb then play starting Lb, usually coaches save there Qb from getting injured, so most starting QB’s play FS or SS
Coach Michael
One question was it you that put that thought in twitte head that stats do not matter!!!... And ther useless!!,,,, Ther for the parents ego????
Just!!... Twitter was a Qb!... And his stats as a Qb wher never noted!!..can that be the reason!!... Why he says stats are useless!!!....
smh!!!.... So players have to suffer from his trauma!!!
Holy Cross in NYS CHSFL was 4-6 and ranked #6, so that tells me football in CHSLFL is top heavy. Its like the AFC North haha over the years
Prince, lololol!!!!!!
just
We can go both ways on that one.
Maybe you think stats mean something because when a certain WR doesn’t get recruited you can claim it was because he had no stats.
Why haven’t you moved him to Iona Prep yet if you need stats so badly?
George Jetson, great football question, LOL.
You surely have Josh fooled, because he really thinks you are concerned about football when you just continue your search for Prince, LOLOLOLOL.
Let me ask you a question, in the future are you still a d-bag,
just
that post was to me?.... i was still reading the old post to see what dear george was talking about!!... duh!!.. (to ppr) lol i miss that one!!!
dear george!!!.. are you real or a cartoon?
like the rest of your “circle” keystone cops thats what i will call y’all for now on!!... next time when you hate!!.. make sense!!...plz!!
just i repost this just too show how sick these guys are!!!!!!
I got a email yesterday and for the life of me I can not figure out wher this came from.
Dear: prince
We have shown you nothing but respect from day 1. When we see you, we always go out our way to say hello, and when you do not speak we do not let that stop us from trying to keep a good relationship with you. But time after time you continue to show us no respect. And we do not understand why. We do not want any problems with you we just want you to accept us. We are at a point wher we do not know what to do the things you say about us really hurt in ways you can not imagine. When you expose us to people we are hurt and embarrassed, so we act out and call you stupid names, saying things about you to try to hurt your feelings. I wish you could understand our point on this. We are hating on you because we are scared and hurt. All we are asking of you is to stop speaking the truth to expose us, we have bills that we have to pay. We hope that you will think about what we are asking of you. We are trying really hard for you to accept us and to be on your good side..
Thx
Us!
