Cougars and South Doyle Scrimmage

[rolandgrit]

Does anybody have any information on how the scrimmage went?

[Cougs]

I didn't get to go but I do know that Keenan and Tuffy didn't
play.

From what Keenan said we couldn't stop the run in the middle. He didn't dress and he said Oakes was dehydrated and sick. I believe he said we gave up 2 tds to each school. We did better against South Doyle than the Gap.

I think you are getting Cumberland Gap confused with Cumberland County. Cumberland County was at the South Doyle scrimmage.

AFTER WATCHING THE ENTIRE VIDEO, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE MAIN WEAKNESS IN THE COUGAR DEFENSE IS THE DEF. BACKS......THEY'RE ATHLETIC AND QUICK, BUT THEY CAN'T HANG WITH THE MUCH TALLER RECEIVERS. NEARLY ALL THE TDs GIVEN UP WERE PASSES. THE MIDDLE ACTUALLY STOPPED THE RUN PRETTY WELL WHEN THE SECOND TEAM LINEBACKERS WERE IN THE GAME..(NUMBERS 46,27, AND I THINK 22)....MAYBE THEY WERE FRESH SINCE THEY DON'T PLAY BOTH WAYS, BUT THEY DEFINITELY WERE MORE AGGRESSIVE AND MORE EFFICIENT TACKLERS. OFFENSIVELY, THE BACK-UP QB LOOKED PRETTY SHARP AND MADE SOME ACCURATE PASSES AND NICE RUNS, BUT THE RECEIVERS DIDN'T HELP HIM OUT VERY MUCH.......TOO MANY DROPPED PASSES. THE STARTING RUNNING BACK (NUMBER 3) LOOKS LIKE A TANK AND RUNS LIKE A DEER, BUT SEEMS TO GO DOWN TO EASILY WHEN HIT. BOTH LINES NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE. OVERALL, I THINK THEY COULD DO OK THIS YEAR AS LONG AS THEY PLAY AS A TEAM AND DON'T GET SELFISH......I'LL BE PULLIN FOR THEM NO MATTER HOW THEY DO.

OOPS, ACTUALLY THOSE LINBACKERS NUMBERS WERE #48 , #27, AND THE OTHER NUMBER I'M NOT SURE OF THEY SEEMED TO SUBSTITUTE THAT POSITION MORE THAN THE OTHERS. AT ANY RATE, THOSE TWO AND THE OTHER LB LOOKED LIKE THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND WERE ALWAYS AROUND THE BALL.
