Why does the Erwin defense suck? Are the same guys that are scoring 50 points a game on offense also not playing defense?

I certainly have no room to talk since we have the worst team we have had in decades, I was just wondering how on one side of the ball they have enough talent to score 50 points a game but on the other side of the ball they don't have enough talent to prevent the other team from scoring 50 points a game

Part of the problem is that they score so fast their defense is always on the field.

I have been asking the same question all season? They have improved a lot but they are still mediocre at best. Their offense is so explosive and only a few of those guys play defense.

This is very true. I have been to almost every Erwin game the past 20 years and in my opinion this is the best offense we have had. They have a great passing game and two very good rb's. It's a shame the defense is not up to par because this team would be very hard to beat by anyone in the state.

Well maybe that needs to change. Typically teams that are talented enough to score 50 points a game are also talented enough to not give up 50

I did the math.. Erwin is averaging 47 points a game. They are giving up 41 a game. That is crazy. I will say that high average on defense is from some of our earlier games against the Tennessee teams. The Heritage game still stings the most. That should have not happened.

Dude you really make me sick. How about you are the worst fan in decades. I'm sorry ever. You might want to stop running your mouth about people's kids. AHS cougar. You haven no clue what it means to be a cougar. I played with little, Avery, King and we won nothing. 3 of the best that ever came through Asheville. Please keep your pot hole shut. Better yet change your name to warrior1.

Dude, it's a fact this will be our worst team in decades, it's not my fault. In high school sometimes the talent comes and goes in stages.

I'm glad you understand that. I promise you by the end of the year this team will surprise you and the rest of the fake cougar fans. Please don't jump on the bandwagon when it happens. You stay on the same side your on know. We don't need or want your kind. Please change your name. You are not a cougar fan.

I genuinely hope this team wins a state championship like every other year, but for you to sit on here and act like at 2-4 things are just going terrific is ridiculous. I saw a picture of one of our players this year TEXTING during practice . I guess that's my fault too? Or are you gonna defend that and say that's why this team is gonna surprise everyone by the end of the year? I hope we win every game, but I'm not gonna sugar coat it, this year has been a disaster so far and no Asheville team has started off 2-4 in this century.

That's your opinion. Of course it's not a typical year but this team is very young and interesting. We should not have lost to Newton, or pisgah. The Durham game was close until two touchdowns on bad snaps. Two turn overs against Reynolds. Basically our record could easily be different but that's not the point. Watch what the cougars do the last 4 games of conference play. Reynolds is in the driver's seat but we will have a lot to say. Watch and see. I promise you that.

Asheville won the the MAC in 2002,2003,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014. Last year we came in third and this year is off to the worst start in decades, so I'm just calling it like I see it. I hope we win every game and nothing would make me happier to see us win our next 9 games. But I'm not going to sit here and see pictures of players on the team TEXTING DURING PRACTICE and then be like "you better look out for us. We might be 2-4, but we are coming on strong now". Luckily our schedule gets a little easier from now til Erwin. If we could beat Erwin, maybe win a playoff game, that would mean the season wasn't a complete disaster. However winning a playoff game is going to be a tall order since we are likely going into the playoffs as a 10-16 seed.

There has certainty been no love loss between ahscougar1 and I over the years but I can say without a doubt that he is a true fan. He has talked up Asheville more then anyone on here for years and when they play bad he tells it like it is. I am a die hard Erwin guy and I will admit when they have a problem like I have with this years defense. You can't just show up and call out someone that has over 2500 posts on here that are mostly pro Asheville for a few critical ones.
