Might as well talk a little bit.
Has Calallen started practice? Did they have an intersquad scrimmage? How have they looked?
Will Carroll score on the Cats? What’s the over/under on Carroll td’s? Calallen td’s?
Carroll info: Practice started on Monday of last week. Scrimmage was today. Not a whole lot of action. Couple nice plus designs, but no consistency. In general practices, Carroll offense has looked good. Not a ton of depth.

Let me put this in simple English.
It’s …….. a…..fricken…….scrimmage! We could score 10 TDs and I and 99% of us over here wouldn’t give a chit. It’s about reps and nothing else.
You must not pay attention past the nose on your face or you would know Calallen and every 4A school in the state has been practicing for a week. We can’t do spring ball .

But there’s value in it. Especially in evaluation of the 1’s. And finding depth.

If that's the case, the coach should be fired. Scrimmages are for for (or should be) for coaches evaluating their kids and nothing more.

Yep.... if a kid that's not injured doesn't get in at a scrimmage, he should be very concerned because the coach has already decided that the kid is never going to play... As many coaches refer to those kids, they play the AB position ... as in if the step on the field you tell them to get their @$$ back.... lol

If the coach already knows he has players who are ready to go, he might start them for a series or not at all. Coaches, or at least good ones are looking at kids who can help contribute. They should pretty much already know who their starters are.

It helps when they are going against another team and not their buddies.

Normally I would agree but we scrimmage our old rival (who just won 4AD1) and I hope we smash them lol. Any chance to beat Stephenville I hope Aledo takes it.

I just don’t believe coaches don’t want to win a scrimmage. They are competitors. How do you tell a kid compete on every rep and not care about winning? I understand what a scrimmage is really about, but winning does matter. I think many of you go to far with coach speech.

If you still need to evaluate the 1's at this point, you don't return many players from the previous season or you are behind. After Spring Ball or two weeks of practice. Good Coaching Staffs know who their starters are.

They should pretty much already know who their starters are. So yes if you are getting 1st team reps at practice, and you get a series, a partial series, or rested completely that is different than the scenario I mentioned. Starters know who they are, but if you're a back up and don't play in a scrimmage, you better re-evaluate yourself and start busting it in practice because coaches have already labeled you.

I understand what a scrimmage is really about, but winning does matter. I think many of you go to far with coach speech. Because for the most part scrimmages are controlled. At least the first one. They are giving instruction on the actual field of play during the scrimmage and that in itself hinders going full game speed. Especially if your mojo is a hurry up type offense. You run a series of plays and then flip the ball over to the other team to do the same without a punt. Then you might do a game situation for the second half of the scrimmage, but with a running clock with multiple sets of players going in and out. The other thing that might get overlooked in this years scrimmage hype is you are going to have a bunch of new rookie Refs working some of these scrimmages and there has been some significant rule changes with that.

I think most coaches use the scrimmages to see how their lines do against different schemes. Especially if that line is on the green side.

We all have a good grasp of scrimmages, that I know.
But what I’m looking for is…. Let’s say Carroll scores 3 td’s in 10 plays of 1’s vs. 1’s… in the “no substitution” part of the scrimmage.
Is that a problem? Or does the “it’s just a scrimmage” mantra hold?
