Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• I think that 1994 Jefferson team ran the same 2 plays the entire game and went on to a state championship. It is about execution. If you have the right players in the right positions in the right system any offense can be effective.

• College QB's don't get recruited for how good they hand off.

• You guys need to get out of Monroe a little bit

• Also, for those who criticize the T offense or any run-heavy offense, be sure to tune in to the State Finals on TV each year. You'll be sure to see a team run a T or a double wing. You might even see a team from the U.P. run an old school single wing offense. You'll also likely see a team run a passing spread and sling it all over the place.

  My point is the same as before: teams have to execute their system to win.

• To be fair, I don't think it's a matter of Milan's offense being "figured out" any more than the T is "figured out" when SMCC has a rare down season. Execution of any scheme is key.

  Milan needs the pass to be a threat so the run is more effective. Kanitz was far from a pass-first QB, but the threat of an occasional seam pass or throw over the top kept defenses more honest. Teams have been able to stuff the box against the Big Reds all season long with no consequences.

  You don't need 50/50 balance between pass and run, but any style of offense is more effective when it gives defenses more things to fear.

• It takes more teamwork to run a spread than the T. Its a Monroe county thing. Whatever works I guess. When the most likely league champion runs the most boring defense known to man, it doesn't do much for the rest of us.

• Why did it take the HL so long (2 yrs) to adjust and figure out Milan's offense...Come out the stone age DCs

• You want to see talent, real talent, go to TX, FL, LA, CA, OH. Those are where the majority of the talent comes from.

  The Huron league produces good HS players for the most part.. and that's about it.

  • Talent is everywhere

• The name of the game is to win. Whatever system you run. Nothing worse than a no talent team trying to run shotgun spread. The T teaches teamwork and team before self more than any other offense. Great life lessons.

• I would love to see more recruiting down here, but I think these conservative, play it safe offenses down here are hindering that. Spreading it out, doing some passing and having different formations, plus some audibles from time to time might shed some light on some more up to date football and some more recruiting around here. The downriver teams and Milan are working on it, Jefferson is making a scary attempt, but the rest are still conservative.
  These offenses still work for some, but do not attract many recruiters. I do understand we have to have talented enough players to pull this off, but if they are raised on spreading it out and passing in first downer programs and the cyo, by high school they could be talented enough. Time for a change.

  Could you only imagine how exciting SMCC's offense would be if Windham threw 30 passes a game.
  Windham would probly get recruited as a QB, instead he hands off most of the time and we will never know. Just some thoughts

  Current coaches will continue to go with what they know in fear of having some down seasons for their school program I guess.
