• @ anonymous 8:22, sounds like it was a hard fought and good game. I was not able to go. Congrats to the Big Reds. Prayers for Nick Marino on a speedy recovery. The Falcons will move on and be fine.

  Did you have any knowledge or value to bring to the blog anonymous 8:22 or just smack?

• Called it last week. Flat Rock had their hands full with Riverview. This season isn't going to be all roses for them.

• Just FYI, Whiteford runs an offense called the Double Wing and it is a different offense than the Wing-T. Do they do some similar things like motion players, run a trap and boot or waggle play action passes, sure, and so do spread teams and I formation teams. I would guess if we asked a Wing-T coach if they run Whiteford’s offense and ask Mensing if he runs the Wing-T they both will say “No.”

  Wing T teams often align in more multiple formations than double wing teams but tend to base out of a TE/Wing to one side and SE/slot to the other side while DW teams have 2 TEs and 2 wings, Wing T teams have wider OL splits as opposed to toe to toe like DW teams. Wing T teams more often use angle blocking at the point of attack where as DW teams use double teams, overloads, and vertical push at the point of attack. The wings in DW are often used as the main ball carrier, and the FB and QB are often involved in blocking schemes. Main plays from DW teams are Power Toss, wedge, Counter, trap, and sweep, whereas in Wing T they are series based Plays like the Buck Sweep, Belly, Down, and Jet or Rocket sweep. You will also more often see Wing T teams with more of a pass game than Double Wing teams.

• It’s like this-Whiteford runs the entire playbook of the Wing T and expand off of it. Airport runs 20% of the playbook and doesn’t try to expand off of it.

• 1117 their offenses are complete opposites huh? You clearly know what you’re talking about.... this is why I can’t take many of you seriously...

• Falcon Alum... how bout them big reds???

• Whiteford and Airports offense are the complete opposite. They do not both run wing t, but agreed I felt bad for Airports QB, GI knew exactly what pass play was coming. They ran same 3 pass plays all night. Everyone was covered up all night and had pressure on him from LB’s. You can’t expect the kid to complete passes when the defense knows exactly what’s coming every play. Sure he did have a few bad choices, but for the most part it was the coaches being too predictable.

• Easy there “anonymous @ 5:30”. I looked at the game film one time with my sons on the team, saw it, moved on. I never went back after that. Here’s how you can know if I commented or not: I put my name on every comment.
  I’m not mad and I’ve said I think FR has a good team capable of playing with anyone but let’s be honest that call didn’t cost them the game. I bet the coach would agree: empty trips inside the 10 were far more damaging.

• When something is not working you have to change it... weather its the offense or the defense. The huron league is strong and if you dont adapt you will be left behind. Airport needs change you cannot wait its time.

• Nobody runs the Wing-T anymore huh? Go ask Whiteford what offense they run? Guess what? It’s the Wing-T they just won a state title and havebeen to two in a row.....there is an entire coaching clinic held every year specifically for Wing-T programs attended by hundreds of coaches... just saying...
