Message: [QUOTE="cuselaxss26, post: 5759506, member: 8563"] Did we just totally scrap inverting our middies ? I don’t recall seeing hottle or rhoa or kraftson or any middie ever going behind n starting the O there. Yes our attack does but that’s usually with a pole. Hottle was dusting dudes doing that. As quint always saids the best way to beat ND is to go from X n turn the defense. Which made me realize we actually haven’t inverted our middies really last few games. Almost seems like we are just trying to beat teams straight up talent vs talent guess say. Which all good n will win that way but not against teams with as much talent or even more. Know we played colgate n their D was def weird. Was like a man/zone kinda thing n had shorty on joey for most of it which never thought i’d see that be the plan. We had looks for sure n hit ton of post. But didn’t have much depth besides our main guys (finn, joey, leo, rhoa). Just these weekend games notice the depth of scoring for some of them. Thinking that is gonna be huge down the stretch what guys other then the big ones can score. Hottle hahn mcintee etc has had games with goal. But feel it’s to far n between. Just feel that is how this team can reach next level is getting those other guys going all the time. Think watching all these games this weekend good games has up the concern for me. Maby the horrible gb thing is a reason also. Cause if mullen/angelo struggle at X winning clean n we can’t field a gb for our life n unforced TOs. What happens vs top teams in playoffs n how do we keep up. Meaning if not winning faces or gbs have to win other areas to get ball more being saves or just stops or takeaways. Would say gbs would be another area if struggling at X ya need to win to give ball more to ur O but clearly these guys have tough time picking up gbs. Just feel we haven’t improved much from where we were at the start. Yes we still winning n all but not big improvement in areas we needed to or areas that were clear issues. I don’t know just guess would like better showing this pass game. They started like they weren’t taking it serious or won the game before it was even at half. They still haven’t played a complete 60min game in my opinion n tho still regular season but season is coming to end n then its win or go home. Still felt like saw players jogging at times when needed to be a sprint. Or just half effort to make a play. The over flashiness when isn’t needed. Looking at all possible teams in tounry there are gonna be barely any gimmi games. So don’t show up for half or even a qtr that could be ur ticket home. Not hating just season closing n guess thought we look a lot better or a lot more consistent then we have. Either way huge huge game this coming week. Hopefully they are prepared n play a great full game. [/QUOTE]
