I agree that the spread happened to defenses. I still believe defense wins championship...well, most championships. I think defenses will eventually evolve to contain the spread. Or, the rules will change to limit the spread offensive style like Saban seemed to be championing a couple of years ago. I do like to see good offenses, but I don't need to see a score on every freaking possession. You need a good defense to keep the game interesting. I hate shoot outs. They are simply no fun unless you like arena football.

Everything said spot on, especially about playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. Some will dispute this, but I believe it just takes ALOT more discipline to be a good defensive player, alot of playmakers are just incredible athletes. Lets' face it, for the most part this generation and discipline don't mix...it's alot more coaching work to coach a disciplined defense, one that will bend but not break, that won't over pursue, that will stick with the scheme instead of taking the bait and going prematurely for the kill. But they do exist.

Aledo 51

Grapevine 7

That was a GV offense averaging 52 pts. a game. 

That's a championship defense.

If the players are making the decisions on who's playing offense and defense you need a new coach.  Guarantee you coaches make those decisions at WOS and Newto.  At Newton the philosophy has always been to try and put their best player at MLB.

Also look at the number of kids on a team. If you have the numbers advantage you have to put those exess athletes some where if they want to play. Defense it is.  Another thing is some of these schools don't play the best athletes at the same time on the field.  IMO you have to play the best athletes whether it be both ways to compete.  Some coaches just don't believe in kids going both ways anymore.

I could tell you what happened to defense in Dayton. Stewart left. Since he has stepped down as head coach Dayton has consistently fielded one of the worst defenses statistically in our district. Most really good teams have one thing in common. Great coaching and really good defenses. Check out Manvel and CP next week. Probably the best 2 defenses in the state at the 5a level. Also 2 of the top teams in the state.

But isn't Stewart allowed to roam the sidelines still and give pointers and instructions to kids?

      Go live in a third world country then get back to me about the word “poor”…..you ll have a different perspective.  Your right a kid shouldn’t suffer for parents decisions, but that’s the world we live in created by those who don’t teach responsibility as well as handicapping by giving handouts.  Cause and effect.   Now yes there are people who are hit with some tragic unforeseen circumstances who need help to get back on their feet but that’s different then a habitual irresponsible lifestyle  fema is a totally different animal.  And it’s actually  something I’ve never had to deal with…..so I can’t really speak on it but I do know it’s a govt agency and most govt agencies are poorly ran.  Natural disasters have been part of this earth for a long time….way before fema came along and people have managed. said kids get taught by said parents that the govt owes them for their circumstances instead of seeing for what it really is and the lesson that should actually be taken from such a life…..”I’m not going to be like my parent or parents….im going to look at others as examples …..my teachers, my coaches, any aunts or uncles, relatives etc etc that are successful…..I’m going to work hard and smart and make good decisions and what bad decisions I do make I’m going to learn from.” Suffering is a great teacher.  This earthly place is temporary and many will suffer even the righteous and even children. Life on earth is not fair….its not a new concept. The good ole race card.  I’m not surprised. I feel the same way no matter the color.  Whites are just as guilty as any other race.  It’s not a race issue it’s a culture issue.  You have allowed color to guide your thought process…..is that what you were taught. how bout you check out the income of many of those politicians you vote for who care so much about kids.  They go in as an every day working citizens then come out millionaires off of shady deals, kickbacks and taxpayers backs. They keep promising y’all false promises and you keep falling for it….bidens been doing it for over 40 years. i just wasted time on this reply because you are not hearing any of it……..you want handouts with no accountability. .sorry to the posters who wasted their time reading this…..it got off topic.

      Baseball bat time again. You mentioned two “mental” disorders. That tells me they are made up in someone’s mind. Allowing a male in women’s restrooms and letting them compete in women’s sports makes them feel better about themselves? All they amount to is males who can’t hack it in the real world.
