Message: [QUOTE="cuselaxss26, post: 4578405, member: 8563"] One thing must add also as i wasn’t a fogo (in my day wasn’t really a thing yet just was two way middie who was taught and very good at faceoffs) is when actually give someone else shot can’t let them take one n if lose then go right back to same old guy. Sometimes may take new person few draws get going. So would say not only try someone diff but give them few chances maby 3 in row see how does if beat all 3 try someone else n just keep switching if non works. Some fogos like first couple draws to read their opponent to see what they attack with so they know how to counter or change to something else. The one and only FO gibbs took in maryland game he won clamp and popped it out forward just first ball then got check losing it. That was it tho didn’t take another one prob cause he lost but can’t expect someone coming in cold just start winning or battling gotta give them few tries not saying has to be 10 but say least 3-5 at first. Fogo is very different spot man sometimes the best fogo dominating top guys can go against someone from lower end school and get bested by that lower school guy all cause his technique, style or few things. So def agree gotta switch it up. Worst case still not winning then least have lsm only just right at whistle head straight to D zone so no fast break or anything while the short d mid heads to Fo x. l do miss days when could just push dude from start without going for ball first. Also mean sometimes hard to see that close what our fogos doing if always trying to clamp ball instead of trying a sweep,rake, or even jam. Sometimes when someone beating ya to clamp easy if good at rake can help wonders. But also agree if dude clamps it then forgo it n just start stick checking him as he trying get ball out or pop it up but gotta react fast for that. [/QUOTE]
