6A championship conversation

Your opinion is based on not knowing much about Geneva.

Every time ESL plays up in Chicagoland I try to see them play. I’ve seen them several times over the years and am very familiar with their program.

I realize in most years my comment on another team’s WR group over ESL’s group is ridiculous but not this year with Geneva’s group.

Doesn’t mean they are going to win bc I’d take ESL at pretty much every other position.

If Geneva is going to have any shot in this game their WR’s are going to have to beat man coverage all day and score 40+ points. That might not even be enough.

I look forward to seeing how their WR group can matchup up for 4 quarters vs the ESL secondary and how the pass pro holds up.
Pass protection will be key. If Geneva's QB doesn't get enough time to find an open man, gonna be a long day for them. The screen pass was effective against Cary Grove. And they'll need the RB ready for the dump-off passes.

I am not sure what CG def plan was. They only seemed to rush 3 or 4 most plays and the corners were playing an extremely soft zone and the safeties seemed to be 30yds off the ball. Any short or intermediate route was an easy completion for Geneva. There were some 3rd and short situations where CG was playing 4 or 5 yards behind the 1st down markers.

CG defense not used to being on the field for long stretches of time, lol. Really poor pass def. Only had 2 down linemen rushing, and everyone was in the mid to secondary running around with their heads cutoff. The game came down to revealing who's defense would crack first. Geneva figured out the triple option on Saturday; CG dropped everyone back and still couldn't fill the open passing spaces.

Yea it was weird. If you give any decent qb time to sit and read the same def over and over, they are going to pick you apart.
