Yeah because of that "D" word: Depth. That clearly ain't the case right now tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that talent is wasted without those things in place Agree, but it depends what they adjust and fix in the next week or so. It’s not as if they are playing a junk team. Rome has been and is legit. They revealed some things they need to fix and frankly that’s what these early games hopefully expose, things to work on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they woulda gave North Gwinnett the business last season. I hear Rome is playing "down" while having 6A numbers, so they probably have the same amount of players as last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen coach Reid get outcoached numerous times in region 1. Granted he didn't have the same talent he has at Rome currently. Archer was a monster last year. Rome wasn't beating them, Colquitt or NG. Maybe not beating Brookwood either. Just going from what I've seen from them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The California playoff format would have had Rome moved up to the "Open Division". Where they would be in the playoffs with the Ga Big Boys. That would be an exciting playoff bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They definitely have some tools to work with. We just haven't seen them do it in the past. I'll stick with trends on them for now. Coach has some work to do.

Most of the time it's hard for me to see if a team can play in tougher classes when playing weaker opponents, but when watching Rome it was like watching a top 3 7A team taking on regular 5A opponents. They had all the most important pieces. Most importantly dominant LOS play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he does have work to do, but when a team is getting worked like this I always watch to see how the players respond and the score right before half showed something. Their offense, specifically pass game is on point. I wanna see the HC HT adjustments to stop the bleeding. This is good stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think Cartersville could hang with the top 7A teams a few years back (still don't), but Rome would have been right there with them IMO.

I hate this game tonight. See, now they get to chest thump they took out number 14 or 15 in the country. Clearly Marietta isn't a depth team and clearly they aren't 14th in the country @PrepForce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
