Physical teams to me are teams who can still get good push by the offensive line and run it down your throat whether you try putting eight or more in the box or not. Doesn't matter the formation. Bird, Salem, older Amherst, Phoebus and Hampton teams, last year's Hanover, Lake Taylor, Stone Bridge, Riverheads, Giles, and Centreville are examples. Finesse teams to me can be teams who say they are run first or want to be run first, but usually have to be successful passing to open up the run. Or they like to run a lot of screens, bubble screens or quick passes. Flashy stuff. If you have to spread teams out to get more running lanes, you're not physical IMO, regardless of line size. If a team can line up and pound good teams with the I or Singleback, then go to a spread or pistol and do the same thing, even if they are not a good passing team, that's physical to me. Last year's Hanover is a good example of a team that would've pounded you, no matter what formation they ran.
JM look any different to you today @BleedingNavy? It seems to me they've changed some of their philosophy. And I think we aren't getting the full story on KG, I see a couple of missing players from the team I saw against Louisa... I also see a lot of KG beating themselves.
BN, you also said to me through inbox when talking about Dinwiddie's out of district schedule of next year, something along the lines of "with our luck, those teams will suck". That implies to me that you feel inside that this year's OOD teams on your schedule aren't good. Otherwise, why the heck would you say that, but act like the OOD teams are so good this year on the board?
