So the last few years have been a blast, but the bad taste in my mouth from last year lingers. and not sure I have it in me to defend the Hitters much anymore. While I love the kids and will always have fun watching the games, my honest opinions seem to turn the wrong screws in some people in the program. I want to see them do well, but it seems rather childish to continue to pick on that wound. What good does that do anyone.
I wish everyone luck this year and hope the year plays out for everyone the way they want. Personally I think the Hitters are going to need a really good draw if they are going to play 12 games this year. 8A is just too strong and not sure GW has the depth of studs that they used to.
My other issue is that with the NFL and CFA targeting helmet tackles so much, I would assume that GW will suffer significantly. If you take away the aggressiveness that Hetlet teams thrive on, you end up with either an out sized mismatch or a lot of penalties and I can't stand all the penalties I'm seeing.
As for this game, I think the Hitters stay with MS because they have speed all over that defense and on carpet, they will fly. I like the QB and his receivers and think he may pop a few seam routes over the top. Not sure RB Cox will have as much open field considering he started last year as the 4th option on offense. He will bust lots of highlight reel runs, but can't imagine his frame carrying a 2,000 yard burden. His special teams work might add 5-6 TDs this year, but the swarming MS defense might make Friday night tough sledding.
Again, I hope everyone has a great season. I will pop in from time to time if the juices get flowing, but I will choose to let the coaches focus on the kids and opponents. Cheers
