I think coach sira needs to hang it up Amador Needs some fresh blood and more knowledgable coaches. I see mistakes made by the coaches at nearly every game. Talent bails them out but when they dont have it. It really shows

C.sparks:

Because there is not anyone who can run the ball as well as Leaf this year. Calhoun-Leaf was an awesome combination, and they don’t have that dynamic this year as far as the running game goes. Richard Calhoun had a lot of talent…so does Leaf. He scored three touchdowns and ran for 211 yards against Campolindo, and leads the league in scoring as well as coming in second in rushing having sat out one game for a pulled muscle. I think he is doing pretty well….

Considering this year’s group of Amador seniors had pretty decent Frosh and JV teams (never lost to MV), it’s perplexing why they are getting blown out so bad this year. It seems other coaches have found ways to exploit their ‘weaknesses’ (small size, team speed, and poor execution resulting in tendency to give up big plays on defense). For starters, if they want any sort of chance at beating SRV or Foothill, the coach needs to switch QB’s to jump start the anemic offense. The Soph starter has thrown 9 INT since start of EBAL with only 43% completion rate. His stats would be worse if defenders themselves hadn’t dropped a few perfect passes to them.

Every year AV fans have to scratch their heads at the offensive coordinator’s play calling. (E.G., 30+ sec. left in the half . . . spike ball to stop the clock. Then surprise them with 3 yard run up the middle to start clock and let time run out!) There is no ‘hurry up’ as QB literally runs an extra mile every game to get plays from sideline.

Coach Sira is by all accounts well liked and a great guy. Maybe he needs to stop being so “proud of his team” (comment every week in Pleasanton Patch) of how they didn’t give up and battled back and get the team to focus on just better overall football planning and execution to make the games a bit more competitive.

post 25, then if it worked last year, why doesnt leaf open up running lanes for someone else if he is so good at it?

MV and Foothill have good coaching that is why they are consistently in the hunt year in and year out. Their coaches find a way to motivate and build up the less talented players. Amador, Livermore and Granada dont seam to get it done. We will see how Silva does without the Atkinsens, maybeim jumping ahead on this one.Amador should have a dynasty but there utter lack of football knowledge Kills their chances unless they have exceptional talent. Why is Foothill always competitive and Amador only is when they have flat out studs. Amador Football deserves better

Amador would be a great team with better coaching When your head coach and qb coach does nt know the term for the third step of a three step drop your in trouble. They seam to do well when they have excellent talant but get worked without it. Points directly to coaching

Thanks Outsider i really think that MV played that well, they changed up their D and it showed in the ability to stop the run 96yds total for Foothill and they put on a bunch of big hits. Lakeview I agree with you on Lockie he is getting much better as I said in an earlier post he is gaining confidence he didn’t have earlier in the season, I think the SRV game will be a dogfight their D is very good but I don’t know if they can score (that has been their biggest problem all yr) 31pts against Livermore is good but let face it that is not the toughest team around. Both teams need to take care of business this week against Granada and AV then get set for the final regular season week.

dammmm campolindo took alahambra into OT. and a loss to dublin too, i do see alhambra doing nothing this year, this just shows you had good calhoun was last year

Don’t forget that Leaf opened up huge holes for Calhoun to run last year. Who is doing that for Leaf?

Yo Mama,In reference to your comment to MV ALUM about MV overlooking SRV. Allow me to expand on MV and team. Actually Lockie is getting much more command and QB swag. You may not be aware that Lockie is just really learning to play QB. As a freshman he didn’t take over the Starting Qb job until after the season began and this was his first year playing QB. And as I hear it beat SRV that year. As a sophmore he was called up along with Dalis Bruce and Troy Johnson to Varsity. Jeff sat and watched Knottingham all last year. This summer and early season he split time and snaps with Finnegan. which gave added pressure to him. As of a few weeks ago Bergman made a solid decision to make Lockie the starter. This appears to have helped his confidence and the confidence of his team. So as I see it and from watching the MV/ foothill and Amador games. It appears MV has another QB star rising.
