Hard to imagine some go by 40 times and how fast you are in shorts. There is speed in shorts and a different speed in pads and they often are not the same with many. It is very possible the 1 tenth of a second slower 200 pounder could be just as fast as the 170 lb'er once they put on all the pads if he is strong. Games are not always won by the fastest players in shorts....I will take the 1 tenth of a slower but bigger and stronger player who hits with a bad attitude any day. As to the being able to cover sideline to sideline if faster, it makes no difference if they get there and get run over.
Seems like we may be leaning on all the pyrometrics and agility work for speed which is great, however this needs to be combined with strength training too. You see the increased speeds overall all the way up to the NFL that is far better than 10 years ago, however, you also see the increased reps they do in bench pressing, etc... so don't overlook the strength component.
The last few years I don't see speed lacking, what is lacking is strength in the middle and mentality of wanting to hit someone with bad intentions like the poyser, hendersons, potts and powers that manned the middle.
I am positive 1/10 in the 40 was not the only factor if that was even a factor. HVBALL is stretching.......
I agree, if you have a kid that is big and strong but is only a 1/10 of second slower youwould have to be a idiot not to start him. As much as it pains me to say it...lol Louisville coaches arent stupid, theres is obviously a factor not brought to light about why he isnt starting. With that said I hope they dont start him again and cant wait for week 5.
The fact is I know many in the program right now and strength is lacking in the program. There are only a handful of kids that can even bench 250 lbs. I totally understand the argument that bench press does not make a football player, however it is an indicator of strength and if it was not mportant that why would they measure it at the NFL combine. It is very evident to anyone who watched the defense recently we are getting run over. Its not that we are not getting to the ball, its that we can't tackle anyone once we get there. Hopefully it will be different this year!!

Heard a rumor that a Louisville/McKinley matchup may be in the works in a few years from now. I dont know whether to believe it or not, but can anyone confirm/deny this?
Not even close. 2/20 rule; just stand next to him. Good ball player, nothing wrong with massaging the ht/wt a bit- many do it.
Have stood next to him 100's of times.
During his Sr year, I asked Coach to measured him accurately for the info I send to college coaches.
Accurately is shoes off & toes pointed up for height & briefs only for weight. I don't BS on those numbers cause it just causes problems.
Anyway, I don't remember the exact measures but I think he was just shy of 6'1" and was over 220 lbs.

Haven't heard anything about that. There are a few on here that may be able to shed some light. Would like to see them play in 2014. Always an exciting game and I hope it's a home and home.

LOL So I am still right saying he was not 6'2 in real life, but I agree they vary in mags. I know some players shrink between Junior and Sr year. haha
[quote=Lewis43D;5081257]Hahaha, and how many years of experiance coaching varisty football do you have hvbball21?
Your too funny! So.. you are telling me that your are the DC Lewis with all that experance.
1) If you are coach Lewis why would be on this site?
2) What happens if this new D does not work like last year's? ( change it again?)
3) Why would you put a DB coach incharge of the LBs 2011? He has little ot no experiance coaching? Kids were running all over him. Your starting 3 LB's had less or around 100 tackles for the year? Maybe the wrong kids were playing?
4) Paul made you put Potts in the middle you had some small kid there ?? How did that work out?
5) Maybe you should spend less time on this site and more time coaching becauce I fear the running teams are going to get too many yards.
This sign on is a friends and why should it matter to you?

I think everyone knows that Ha Ha But you have soo much experance please tell us about it . You were the guy sitting holding the clipboard knowing nothing but talks big on the fourm.

What a loser!
LOL, Way to answer my question by re asking me the question I asked you. I havent coached any varisty football, but I am smart enough to know I will never know more than the guys who do it every day year in and year out. I know you havent coached and thats fine, but you need to realize that your complaining and putting the coaches down accomplishes nothing. You are what is wrong with the program. Instead of supporting the program you question the coaches ever call and complain week in and week out. What have you done to support the program? Besides going to games on friday nights, are you a member of Touchdown Club or Booster Club?
I have never talked big, I have just shown support for the program including the coaching staff. I havent been in a hole, I have been supporting the team for years, including the bad. I have no kid in the program, but something tells me you do, and maybe he isnt getting much playing time. I would suggust you just encourage him instead of tearing down the other kids on the team.
Not sure why you would bring my mother into this, but I have to wonder how old you are.
I am clearly not a loser, go a head and re-read all the stuff I said. I am not like you, I dont complain and cry like someone who pulled splitters out of their butt for four years.
This sign on is a friends and why should it matter to you?
Dude you share a free yappi name with a friend and yet you call me a loser. Wow, your not even smart enough to create an email account?
Thats all you need to become a member on yappi.
I am guessing you already got ran off once and thats why you borrow someone else's name.
Your Mom is calling go cut the grass. You could not think of a different name speaking of moron.
Lewis
Go get the clipboard Punk.
Too bad we will all have to support you as you get older on public assistance. I hope I did not use too big of words for you if so you can ask your mommy for help.
You would have guessed wrong punk. Dude you need a nap.

Let the adults talk.
lol wow your smack is weak, way to fend of my attacks. At least I have a name, it is better than using a friend of yours. I actually came up with a name, you had to "borrow" one because you werent smart enough to think of one. Mine name might suck, but it is still better than sharing one loser. What exactly did I guess wrong about? I doubt you know any big words. Now put your computer down and get back to scrubbing the toilets, I want those babies shinning when I come back in the fall.
FYI Yes, I will still help my mother cut the grass among other things. She is older and dad is no longer with us, so I think it makes me a good son to help her out when she needs it. Not sure what I should be ashamed of for doing that? I have my own family to take care of but I dont mind driving across town to help my mother out.
Are you saying you wouldnt help your mother out? What kind of human being are you? She carried you around for 9 months and you wont even take 45 mins every other week to help her out? Shame on you.
Can we get back to talking football and quit hijacking the thread for argument? Nothing of any consequence will solved. You guys can always meet after school on the playground
It is my understanding that the first few games we will 4-2-5 then after that 4-4. I just hope we can stop the run this year.
We play Canfield, Hoover and Ravenna the first few games. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but they do not traditionally run the spread and typically have strong running games to go along with the pass. I'd rather see the 4-4 to start than the 4-2, if what you are saying is accurate.
You mind me asking where you get your info regarding defensive alignments for the season?
The first 3 teams have a TE. You are correct they do not run the spead. My guess is the FS SS will be playing up in the 4-2. I did not say i understand why they are talking about running the 4-2 to 4-4. Right now it is just talk.
I would like to see the 5-3 back.
Kids on the team. As you know we ran a 4-4 last game of the year.

I dont know to many teams that run a 4-2 in high school. High school football is so run heavey most teams like to crowd the box with 7-8 guys. I am just guessing they are calling it a 4-2 but it will really be more of a 4-4 bringing pressure from different sides. With 5 DB's you can really mask your blitzing and overload one side or the other. I would guess they are thinking the speed of a db vs a o-linemen would allow us to make some tackles in the backfield and at the line of scrimmage.
