I think some fans were expecting the Valley team they've seen the past 4 years that really mixed the pass and the run so well and kept there opponents guessing . Valley was more one dimensional and most fans knows that to win the BIG BOY division it will take a balanced attack . Hopefully Darren and Scott can put things together this week and come out blazing at Rock Hill !
Just my opinion to get the pass down they are going to have to go to the freshman Qb I don't think Howard is going to be able to do what they need.Rolfe needs to be used he looks alot like Yates.Experience or not I think he is a better Qb
You might as well forget about Rolfe being the QB unless some unforseen circumstances take place. I believe he will be a very good QB in the future and maybe the best passer right now, but they wont pull Will just to throw a freshman out there. I agree it might be exciting but this is Wills job and he has earned it. Now if we can get a comfortable lead on some teams, we may get to see Rolfe get a series or two late in a game. I just hope our passing game gets better because we are going to need it in the near future
I think you hit the nail on the head!! Will has earned the job and the year of growth and maturity is going to make Rolfe and the team much better. With a team full of new faces all over the field, winning is winning and that's exactly what they did Saturday night. There's more than a strong chance that they are going to enter SOC play at 5-0 (with Coal Grove being the obvious biggest hurdle in Week 3). I believe they will continue to get better every week and have enough strengths overall to compete every week. There were some glaring deficiencies (passing game, kicking game, pass defense, penalties), but as with all solid teams & coaching staffs, they will work on those areas and improve. I think this Valley team has the potential to be a factor in league play and that's certainly a good thing, especially in a "rebuilding year". I just hope for the kids' sake, all the Arnett-Keller and Howard-Yates comparisons can stop sooner rather than later. 2011 was a special year full of special performances by some special kids, but it's now 2012 and the kids playing now worked hard to earn their positions, so I personally think it's time to focus on them in their time to perform. Best of luck to the Indians!!!
