Aka: "Best 1st Quarter side in the comp"

Post: # 582217Post markinUSA »

Aka just said that the Saints are the best 1st quarter side in the comp. That was really interesting to me -- thinking about it, we have had some great starts this year (both against the Dogs and the Cats, those games come to mind).

Does this mean Ross is a good coach thru the week and sets up great plans but is poor on game day and can't counter act when his plans are figured out and spoiled?

Food for thought i reckon

Yeah bingo, spot on.

The other teams coach realizes exactly what were doing during the first quarter, changes what they're doing, and even though our players are playing with the intensity of the first quarter, they just can't match it with the oppositions game plan.

Well, the people on the radio produced the stats to basically back this up.
We have a percentage that's something like 126% in the first quarter (second in the league) but it's only about 75% in the second and third quarters (3rd lowest).

do not have the depth in rotation.....

starting group cannot SUSTAIN the effort.....

2nd tier exposed

Our skills fall away

we have too many poor players covered by the elite.......

until they can not SUSTAIN.....etc

not the game plan (for fall away) otherwise WHY such a good start???

Agreed, the dogs have developed about 10 players that can rotate through the midfield....we rely on a few...
