954gator Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'm curious as to why people have criticized Re'al's play vs STA. To me he is the one who made things possible. His throws weren't an issue in my book, even the first pick was tipped off his Wr's hands. He had another pick with seconds before half basically a toss up long ball. Kid had a lot of nice throws, and is a much STRONGER runner than I thought he'd be. (I remember him dragging a DT 2-3 yards for the first down) Me personally thought he showed a ton of grit. He hit a guy right in stride after scrambling free from pressure that 99% of the time is a TD (safety made an amazing play IMO). He made a great play in OT and gave his TE a chance to make a play for the win (which IMO should have been grabbed over the shorter LB). Plus his Wr's were having a lot of trouble getting separation all night. Now Casteel had a rough game, I can see criticism there, but Re'al came to play. I can see maybe people having issues with playcalling etc, but Re'al didn't blow the game in any sense of the word. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have an excellent season once they get back to playing Cali teams, and all will be forgotten. STA locked themselves into the Top 3 for the rest of the year. They will go undefeated now that their only relevant game is out of the way. With a Gorman, MD, or IMG loss the roster Raiders will likely be handed a MNC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECHS05 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Literally STA has no one in their way but Centennial AZ & Deerfield Beach. Dont write off DFB yet, theyve earned the moniker "STA-slayer". Their defense seems to do well vs STA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Ya'll think STA is getting a natty? They have to make some serious improvements on offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go undefeated... probably. But theres a lot of season left, and a lot can happen. Theres still a few teams that'll have a say. All STA has to do is beat... Centennial AZ Deerfield Beach And then it looks like Venice & Bartram Trail will round out the top 3 teams in FL 7A. Venice beat Camden 35-3 (not sure what that means yet), and Bartrams O looked really good IMO. Plant struggled with Hillsborough , and R.E. Lee struggled with Raines. ---- And then possibly the GEICO Bowl Games... where theyll face either Chandler or Bingham most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Hunnicutt has been to Texas before to play Mansfield Timberview when he was the OC at Buford. Maybe he'll be more open to it. Whats the word on the GEICO Bowl Games this year?

ECHS05 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Re'al played fine. My guess is thats the 1st pass rush hes played of that caliber, and defensive backfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballGuy Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Re-al is another Tate Martell tbh. He's another run first QB. Re-al isn't the type of QB to beat you with his arm. Now I'm not sure if it has to do with his height or his mechanics, but at the same time, he isn't terrible tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
