Friday Night Scores

View Comments

• Box is wrestling at Eastern

• Airport looked balanced defense was stingy on giving up the points to GI French had 16 tackles and a interception almost 2. McCormick almost got a pic and was where he needed to be most every play
  I also was impressed with I think 77 for GI big guy hustled and looked good pretty fast for his size

• In a foot race Jones would hang with Kish. McCormick stayed with Kish on a couple go routes. EM

• Again it comes to game plan for GI. Having Kish run up the gut against Airport would not work. I doubt that you could name a player in the league that could run up the gut against them. That was the only running play that GI tried with him and also with the other back nellenbach for a total of only 9 rushing plays between the two of them. I don't care what team you are playing you will use your backs more than that. Airport had the plan GI did not get creative altering their plan. Talent was on the Airport side but if GI would of created opportunities like the earlier poster mentioned it would of also shown that we can ADJUST when needed. At least then it would of opened up a different dimension of the game a little bit more than just the passing game for GI. Again hindsight is 20/20 and we see now that GI did not adjust to the Airport game plan. I agree Airport was the better team out there last Friday but also believe that it could of been a closer game with a little creativity on the GI scheme.

• Dave Box I believe has moved over to Eastern Michigan and is on their Wrestling team. At least that's where I saw his name last. I believe Wrestling was really his first choice of sports and he was very good at it. Western doesn't have a Wrestling team anymore.

• Overall, what team was bigger faster and stronger?
  I thought that would be your answer. Thanks for agreeing with me:)

  Kish is a fast player but Schumake and Jones looked football faster on Friday.

• Chris,

  I doubt that there is an Airport player that is faster than Kish - the better team won and preparation was there for Airport - GI clearly did not plan for the game.
  Oh, by the way - I am not a GI or Airport fan....just an observer.

• I thought the team that was bigger faster and stronger won the game Friday Night.

  Don't blame the coaching. talent was better on teh other side of the field.

  GI should make the playoffs.

• GI did take what was given, but clearly needs to CREATE opportunities utilizing ALL weapons going forward.

  GI really did fail in the running game which was VERY disappointing. Certainly scouting would have shown the Air D line more dominant than previous games, so GI should have CREATED opportunities to slow it down like...screen, draw, misdirection, HB pass to flat, etc.

  Just abandoning the run because you couldn't run with 7-9 guys in the box was not good...get to the edges or dink/dunk so the D can't pin their ears back (like they did).

  Lots of monday Qb'ing going on here....but the comments on coaching did open the can.

  "To the 7:15 poster....When you have two backs and a QB that all average 10+ yards per carry you do not pass it when you are on the 5 yard line or less. I don't care how you load the box up those three can move the ball. The qb had 16 carries, and the two running backs had a total of 9 carries. You cannot tell me that between the three could not gain a yard in the red zone. We looked at it as being bad play calling."

  I disagree with this blanket type statement. Things get MUCH more difficult inside the 5 yard line for teams like GI who are somewhat still finesse with Kish running the ball. Lets face it, he is more speed than brawn. So spreading things out and "throwing" handoffs on the 5 is more likey to get the job done then to line it up mano y mano with a tougher team in the trenches and try to duke it out.

  Hindsight makes play calling a whole lot easier doesnt it? I say we can cut the HC some slack and give him the benefit of the doubt that he probably knows his team a heck of a lot better than we all do. Putting it in White's hands is not a bad option EVER.
