It’s frustrating for everyone not to be able to vett Lakeland appropriately due to the tomorrow cans on the schedule. Very similar to the devil. Could be uberly talented and well coached but need that signature win to get up to the higher Tiers. This is a great point. I am half sick to death of these poseur teams playing tomorrow cans! Who do they think they are! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueliner Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Garrett's going to have a great season! He's had a great summer at several camps getting MVP at 2. The local/regional coaches have been saying to not sleep on this kid, and that he deserves bigtime college offers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badrouter Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Still think any predictions at this point are pretty meaningless. But, I will say a couple things stand out: 1) It's a good bet DLS has the better coaching staff 2) DLS is settled at QB with a player they like. STA is not settled at the position. 3) The game is a home game for DLS. Those factors make it hard to pick against them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll predict anyways because WE are all knowing here on this board. Remember?🤣😎 The STA kids have to fly to west. And this is an ESPN game as well. The game will be 3 hours instead of 2. It'll be a late night for the STA kids. DLS should be able to be able to keep their studs on the field a bit more due to the TV timeouts. This will hopefully mitigate a part of the talent gap that favors STA. That said, and keeping it real, STA's talent gap advantage is pretty significant on paper. I feel like if/when STA settles in at the QB position, and they execute a gameplan that takes advantage of their superior talent, they will be very tough to beat just by the very makeup of their team. Even with all of the advantages for DLS, it will be tough to overcome...but can be done. Thankfully, many of the key players for DLS have played MD a few times, BG, etc to get used to what they're going to be playing against. But many of DLS's kids coming up to varsity have STA in their first varsity game😲🤣 This is a very intriguing matchup for sure. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And speaking of intriguing matchups don't forget about M. Dumervil. At 6-6 305 the kid is a beast. After watching highlights of him it's going to take 2 of those upcoming varsity DLS players to try and stop him. And what does Dumervil share in common with DLS players? He plays both ways. Yikes. The DLS coaches may want to think about running some plays on the opposite side of where he lines up. 🤔 I do agree having played against other elite teams like MD & BG does help the veteran players. Hale will be the leader on offense, hopefully Garrett will take charge of the leadership role on defense. They will need veterans to make sure those guys playing their first varsity game don't get caught flat footed looking like a "deer in headlights". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude's an absolute beast. Do ya double Dumervil and run right at him? Or do ya run away from him? But does he have the speed to pursuit? It's probably a pick your poison type deal. DLS coaches have their work cut out for them on both sides of the ball. Hale is the leader on that offense for sure. There is no question. DLS will go as he does in this game. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a Captain as only a junior. Not too many underclassmen have done that. The last one was Sweeney in '14. Garrett is the unquestioned leader on the defensive side. Ben Roe (DT) is right there too. Watch out for that kid. Total beast. Squats 600 lbs. Benches 450. Champion wrestler at 285#. Is going to be tough to block. But those kids coming up are gonna be like 😲. As you said, it's up to those Captains/leaders to keep them calm, focused, and not intimidated.

181pl Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Back to the Spartans v. the Raiders. I've seen DLS with excellent but smallish lines and then sometimes big lines as well. Does the current DLS squad have D1 size on the line? Because you know STA will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll likely be 240, 285, 240, 275, 250 down the OL. This will be a tough, agile OL. Will it be enough against 300 pounders pretty much across STA's DL remains to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a 330+ nose tackle type, but then going to be pretty lean and fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
