Thoughts. Crest coming off 2 bad losses and Freedom has played the weakest part of their schedule. Who you got?
Freedom @ Crest
- Thread starter trooper0080
- Start date
Crest needs a win in the worst way after the last two weeks... As bad as it's been for the Chargers, they get a win at home... 21-20 Crest
I never had understood why teams reschedule to Monday nights instead of Saturdays, or if at all possible waiting it out in Friday nights... Seems to me that Mondays should be the absolute last option
I agree. Unless Saturday is questionable as well, get it played
Crest still trying to find an identity since 2015, but the boys will be there to play the patriots, we'll see if they've already given up on this season or not. I know confidence is lacking all over the feild and it will show in the stands as well. The boys can win this game, but they'll have to want it. Chargers by 10
Might be because youth leagues use the field on Saturdays
No way Crest is favorite... the offensive struggles won’t be fixed in a week
Too hard to get an officiating crew on Saturday night is what i was told by an AD years ago.
I know crest has struggled but they still have cats that can run and catch. It will be tough for freedom to contain. Freedom Patriots are paper champions, been that way for several years now. I'll say it again until they beat a team with any clout I.e. Shelby, crest, burns, KM don't expect it to change.
If #1 plays QB I think we will win this game. If not I think we will see more of the same that we have seen the past 2 weeks unfortunately.
Please, the kick off return is the most dangerous you have to worry about. It IS the offense and almost unstoppable.
Just kick to the upbacks and you have a good shot.
It's like a video game where that team has that player that you can't stop but the other aspects of their play is bad.
Oh yeah they;ve upped their game by adding 1.5 more plays to their arsenal.
Thoughts on Crest
#1 needs to touch the ball on offense every or nearly every play to give them a chance to score... Graham is not healthy yet and it shows... But they have to get
Ruff the ball and let him make plays with either his arm or mainly his legs.... Graham will get healthy and give them that 1 2 punch... #22 didnt touch the ball the other night too, he is fast as well, but did not get the ball that I remember friday night... (one ball way overthrown whilst he was wide open though)
The issue with the Crest defense at this point (Well the last two games) is simple... Richardson #52 is not in the game due to injury. I've watched him since youth league ball and even back then his explosion off the line of scrimmage was as good as I have seen... Without him there they are getting absolutely zero pressure on the Quarterback...The linebacker core is not as aggressive as years past, and not as mobile as we are accustomed to seeing them play.... That fact coupled with the zero amount of pressure means the quarterback(s) have had all day the last two games to complete passes... The middle of the field behind the linebackers has been WIDE open.... That is the most pressing issue on defense... The defensive backfield is good but they cant keep coverage for 5-7 seconds while the receivers are running free underneath..... Richardson regardless of what anyone says DOES make that big a difference...They are a different defense with him in the game and it shows on film and live..
Crest defense always played angry and got to the ball in droves, not so much this year.... Im not knocking the Crest team at all, but they aren't as fast nor as aggressive as we are used to seeing.... Crest is used to bullying offenses but the last two games they were bullied.... What are they going to do about it? They figure that out they'll be ok
If Richardson is on the defensive front Friday and they can pressure Birchfield, Crest will win the game....
Just my thoughts I could be wrong

With Crest, it's also a mental thing. These boys have grown up watching Crest dominate other teams for the most part. After 22 years of laughing at KM and Burns these boys find themselves at the bottom of the barrel. The empty seats at the home games will grow and the boys will lose faith and confidence in the program. Something has to change or players will jump ship or stop playing altogether.
I'll be the first to tell you I'm nothing but a dumb fan. But I also know the definition of insanity. I've also seen Crest teams with less do more than this.
Not much on X's and O's myself. Just thought you might have an actual idea as to how Crest could improve the team. I'm thinking the last 2 defeats were a total letdown at Burns and a much better team in Shelby. I feel like its too early to circle the wagons and hang the coach in effigy.
Next 4 games will tell us who this years Crest team is. Should win all 4 games. If not, circle the wagons and throw the basketball on the field before the KM game.
Don’t matter if your best athlete #1 stands on the sideline for whole possessions. He probably had 175 all purpose yards and he is only on the field 40% of the offensive plays. Freedom will win this game because they will be more prepared
1 is a baller for crest. He can take it the distance everytime. If eddins is smart he touches 20 times Friday night
If Crest loses this game the coach will be out faster than a badass Burns middle players unemployed parent that is really good at screen printing. You laughed don’t lie.
I don't care who you are, that's funny lol...
Your time on here will be short lived calling names out like that. I made a joke, you are begging to be banned.
The superstar will be rolling in a new car and mom or dad will have a new job. lol
Crest wins this one easily and realizes their ship isnt sinking, they just dont have a CC all star team like the did a few years ago.

Don't forget a house to live in or the address of a condemned piece of property to use as an address while you still live at the lake.
