Couple of the "overthrown passes" were receivers fault. Until the best 11 players are on the field Portsmouth will continue to struggle. The best players need to go both ways. At least give it a try. This is high school football. Coaches need to wake up!
Not having Sanders at the LT position really showed last night. I hope he returns from injury real soon. I think the Myers to Simpson combination has looked pretty good over the last 2 weeks. Remember we will get London Malone back this week. He is the starter opposite Simpson. But it will mean nothing if Myers has to run for his life. I disagree with siderman when he says Myers is all we have. I think our receivers (Simpson,Malone,Royster,and Evans) would start for West and several other teams right now without a doubt.
that seems to be the thinking of portsmouth staff for the last couple years, and that is what I don't understand. For years they had great teams by running the football. You can have all the receivers you want, but without a running game teams will adjust. After the first series, teams are going turn their LB's loose and chase Meyers everywhere. He isn't big enough to take shot after shot. I was surprised he made it through last season without getting hurt and it will be a miracle if it happens again.
