I'm still trying to figure out why North was unable to stay with Burns receivers... They clearly had the athletes and speed in #7, #4, #23, #11 & #2.. Just from an outsiders point of view
Round 3: Burns @ North Lincoln
- Thread starter notanyonesfan
- Start date
Might just want to give the Burns receivers credit for their speed! Leslie out ran every DB that checked him including the UVA recruit and so did Twitty. Burns was the most talent and speed NL has seen this year! When it was man to man, Burns receivers won the battle!
No you're absolutely right.. I was just making a point that I thought NL could have maybe switched something's up at DB to get a little faster
I would say going both ways would take a toll on you not to mention Sweezy dead on with his passes.
That's something that was clearly evident late in the game... You could tell NL was worn out from so many going both ways... Burns was definitely a little fresher at the end
Nobody on their schedule must have thrown the ball against NL. Incredible run defense and great run game, but anybody with a decent run defense and functional passing game together could squeak a W out of them(well I gues Burns did that).
Nobody else had a Pryor that required that much attention... yes we contained him but it came with a cost. Beat us another way and they did.
Actually the guys I was talking to last night said that NL had not seen a passing game anywhere near Burns... I don't know if that's accurate or not (they were from Bandys)
All it takes is a split second looking back at that qb and they are gone.
And with no pressure that’s asking a lot from any DB.

When teams tried to pass this year they handled it pretty well. Give Burns line credit too . It’s a little easier to pass when you don’t worry about someone touching you.
That’s good to hear. I wasn’t trying to call anyone out. I know that field has always had drainage issues. EL used to have problems with theirs flooding in spots, too.
I didn’t know that when I posed the question. Was very valid though!
Don’t be so quick to judge. We have two kids with power5 offers for a reason. They earned it. Brady had 6-10 offerers. Can’t remember them all because he didn’t post a single one. Kid is 6’4”. Runs a low 4.5 LASER 40. (4.52 I think) Benches over 300 and squats over 500. He is an athletic beast and is a standout at whatever he does. Those are the stats college coaches drool over. Not to mention only been playing football for 3 years. Pryor size kids will have amazing HS careers but will not generate much higher level interest... Hell we got several that don’t fit the “mold” too. A 5’7” 150 pound running back will have a very hard time getting any D1 offers let alone a power5. Ty Williams might generate more interest because he is so physical. Pryor avoids it, Williams looks for it. He will be a special ball player the next two seasons.
Again congrats to Burns. Good luck rest of the way. We’re off to Indoor track and Basketball!
The two best passing teams they had seen prior were Newton Conover and Maiden
North will Rock the house in indoor track. Hopefully they’ll have Ty Williams helping this year.
I know these posts were not meant to be funny. But in reference to football......
Some kids, size is just a number! Your right though. Power 5’s are over looking one of the best in the state because he doesn’t fit their ideal size for a running back! I feel he’s not a running back. He can catch and return the ball equally as good! If he were promoted as a athlete instead of running back he could probably garner more attention from recruiters. All that said, he is by far the best 5’5-5’7 you are going to see! He is the biggest guy on the field when he has the ball! Also not to down anyone, but our receivers ran past that power5 recruit all night! Wishing him the best though!!
Now that’s funny! Maidens passing game versus North Lincoln was our QB running for his life and just slinging the ball down field... and those were intended run plays!
You gotta love an old school cash only eatn joint.....you know the foods gonna be good just like my fav. Tri county .
Funny....but true. Same for the N-C game I saw...quarterback spent four quarters sprinting out left and getting body slammed to the turf. Burns kept their QB safe for most of the night. I don't think speed was the deciding factor in the Knights pass defense. It was all 11 defensive players keeping one eye in the backfield for a back who rolled up 300+ yards in a single half against Hibriten
Although I agree with keeping an eye in the backfield, but when NL manned out receivers up 1 on 1, our receivers won the battle. Each time they ran right past the defender. We had pass plays of 70+ and 2 60+. Ran right pass the DB’s on each one of them!
It’s no disrespect to NL’s players at all, but I agree with this whole heartedly. That’s why I made the statement about 4.
This is officially the longest thread I've ever created lol
Link are you the guy that helped with the broadcast with Tom & Matt last week? Was rewatching last night and heard them say his last name was Link
