The Piedmont boys will be lucky to win 4 games this year, 5 at most. And they might only win 1 or 2. That team is going to crash hard without that little Qb dashing all over the place.

Piedmont is done.

We had games vs. Piedmont twice this summer in 7 on 7, once at their place and our turf.

That team has 6 or 7 big fast receivers, enough for backups at every spot.

If I was calling plays for them, I would be running the A-11 too. They got pass catchers all over the place.

We ain’t got no problem with it at all, it was a challenge for us. But it would have been a lot harder to deal with in full pads, cause we did not have to worry about the running game.

Skyline is on its way back in 2009!

peidmont should play with an offense that will help those kids in the future, like the spread.

I’m all for being innovative, but has the offense consistently won league and section titles? I don’t think so. They have alot of second place finishes, but they could get that running and executing any offense well and playing decent defense. Based on the last few years, it looks like the school hasn’t defeated any real power. I guess it would be fun to watch and execute, but don’t see it as the west coast offense that would be widely implemented. Frankly, I would just focus on executing the fundamentals well. That one well known school in the East Bay seems to do pretty good just executing the vanilla Veer.

The A-11 is gone forever! Piedmont can try and make it work but I believe that it is over for that crazy offense. It wont be effective this year and I can really see them throwing it out the door after this year. Knowing that offense and how it was ran, it would be hard for them to bring it back and beat teams with the new “camoulflage” scheme.

Teh A-11 only worked because defenses believed that each player split go go out for a vertical pass. If they use Camoulflage with 17, 7 & 71 split wide you know that 71 can only catch a bubble screen I can’tsee it being nearly as effective. The advantage of a 3 linemen set was having the qb back at 7 yards. I see a lot of hands in the face this year if they try to go under center or closer gun.

Its crazy how this guy Bryan already has books out on the new A-11 with rule changes before he even ran it in a game.
