Great content, Glory. Tighten up your structure though, buddy.
Owens is one of those dudes who definitely looks the part, but I'm concerned about his pedestrian production. With those measurables, you absolutely have to make more plays than that over the course of a HS season. I don't care what the excuses are, but you have to produce more.
Thanks.
Last year Owens had 101 tackles. He was more well known by his opponents this year, and the coaches did not want any part of him. If you watch his games you can see that teams ran away from him the whole year. Same thing happened with Edgar Cerenord down here.
Also with Sony Michel, while Gibson was struggling earlier in the teams would just load up the box. It wasn't until Gibson made huge strides as a qb mid season for Sony's numbers to blossom.
Sony was also coming off a serious knee injury and getting comfortable with it as the season progressed.
I'm not here to down Owens. I'm just saying that I personally like to see guys with that sort of size and athleticism produce more as a football players against guys that he should be dominating. It's easy to splice together a highlight reel and make a guy with his measurables look like Superman. But those numbers are very poor in every category.
yup, I been saying it.
I would rather have a short, stubby, angry mother ****er like Nate Webster that makes 20 tackles a game in high school.
I prefer guys who make football plays. I like Owens and am glad he's in the class, but his lack of production raises some questions for me. That's all. Sometimes, it's not easy to teach football instincts and ability.
Look at a little undersized unimpressive looking guy like Sean Spence. He didn't look great walking off the airplane, but he was making plays from the minute he arrived here because he was a super instinctive and smart player who had enough athletic ability to get where his enormous brain told him to go.
