Bo G. #7 is going to be a good player for Massillon . Can you say high light reel!!!!

I'm at the game right now and this kid is amazing!!!

yes and the game was closer than the score shows. we have some work to do, but it was a good start.

[pyromaniac]

Closer than the score shows? Come on. They scored their first 2 TD's on gifts. We turned the ball over inside the 10 and they ran an int back over 100 yards. The other 2 were on our 2nd team defense. I will agree that we have some work to do, but by the 4th quarter we had the game in the bag. Even when we were only up by 2, I never felt like it was getting away from us.

I agree, I thought the score actually showed it closer than it really was.
The 1st team defense looked good, but let a few big plays get by them. The Griffins quarter back was especially slippery.

[Obie Wan]

Seems like a lot of points to give up,but congrats anyay.

The first 15 were directly on our O (~4 yard "drive" after a TO, safety, ~95-yard INT return). The rest were in garbage time.

I'd be more concerned about the O.

I agree that we gave them gifts but that is the type of things that will get you beat by a good team. They also gave us some gifts too though and had a chance to put them away early. After that turnover on the opening kickoff we had a chance to put them on their heels right away except we go 4 and out.


I thought Clark looked very good at QB even though a lot of plays he was running for his life. He throws a nice pass and is good at running the offense. WE better not try to run too many plays that take long to develop though. On a few of the counters the pulling guard was in JT's lap when he got the handoff. Just my opinion but I think I would rather see JT at WR and have #26 Aaron White at TB. The team has some things to work on but I see the team building off this win and correcting the things that they can correct like catching a kickoff and moving on next week for a win.

I thought the soph Reiman looked great as a running back also in the fourth quarter. He definately should get some playing time.

[CarlE]

Congrats to the Tigers and Coach Hall on the win. I talked to a couple of folks after the game and yes, we might have to work out some kinks but it sounds like everyone was on the same page. What a novel thought. It was GAME ONE, guys. Let's not get too critical and let's just enjoy the win and let Coach Hall work on some of the items of improvement this week. 45 points is awesome, in my opinion. A win is a win is a win is a win!!! Good luck this week in practice guys.

[TigerLily]

Opening with a "W" feels very good.

There are some bright spots, and of couse work ahead.

And...Mr. "Bo Knows Football" certainly earned the stripe on his helmet!

[Die Hard Eric]

I thought the soph Reiman looked great as a running back also in the fourth quarter. He definately should get some playing time.

a good portion of the people who attended the game were not around to J. Reinman play in the 4th quarter. he was a bruiser at the freshman level and he looked good in his first varsity playing time. in my opinion he is a breathe of fresh air to the running game. i am not saying that we don't have any talent in the backfield, but the two RB's who got playing time ahead of him looked like they shyed away from contact and run to much east and west. Reinmann takes the ball straight ahead and gains yardage, Adjusts his helmet, lines up and does it again. i am looking forward to him being a stud for the next three years.

next time you are thinking of leaving the game in garbage time, stick around for a few so you can see this kid play.

[cantoncoyotes08]

next time you are thinking of leaving the game in garbage time, stick around for a few so you can see this kid play.

in addition to that i would like to say something. i have been sitting on the home side now for the past few years, and it bugs me how little the home side cheers. i tryed several time to start TIG-ERS last night, and got no response. and the same people that dont cheer, i would bet anything are the same people that get on here and complain how the team does not play hard enough. maybe if you would get into it a little more, the team would have the sense that the fans really are there for them. if you want to have social time, do it in the parking lot or at the bar, but dont give me dirty looks b/c im being too loud or cheering to much. im there to cheer on my tigers!!!!!!!!! im not trying to be negitive in anyway, but i would love to hear that stadium be much louder every home game, i know we can be, now,,,,,,,,

There's a lot to be seen at the end of the game. Check out Aaron Robey as well. He hits kids and they stay hit. There are a couple of good ones coming up through the ranks.

"He hits kids and they stay hit."

What does that even mean?

Maybe I don't get it, but I would take it to mean that they are done with or at least neutralized for the duration of that play.

It means when they get hit their asses are on the ground and they stay there. This ISN'T rocket science, son.

Jake had another very good game today! I love watching him play. Robey had 2 powerful qb sacks. Sheegog and Mattox, another great one to watch for, both had interceptions. Draper was a beast in there at noseguard. Littman great first game as JV qb. Busson, Nalbach, T. Miller, B. Robinson, and McCune are just a few other sophs who do the Massillon Tigers, PROUD!

To be honest with you, I came away from that game wondering if JT was playing hurt or something.

[MTigers006]

Getting a late hit and your head bounced off the pavement of the old track don't help matters for one. I thought they was removing that.

Maybe as the season rolls on we might see Bo and JT,lined up on opposite sides at reciever and Cooper or Aaron or Jake at tailback occasionally.Then who would they key on?Bo is bound to start drawing double coverage if he continues to have the success he enjoyed the first game.I hope he keeps getting single coverage all year but I doubt it.
Let~s put as many weapons as possible on the field at the same time! Go Tigers!

If Bo keeps doing what he can do he should be fine. The problem for defenses facing us will be that they will have to focus on Bo and JT while trying to keep an eye on our QB... there just isn't enough defense on the field to double everyone, and with some of the formations we have seen, they won't have an obvious call on who to key in on... so Bo should get some nice opportunities to face one on one coverage this year.

I also sit in section five, I've sat there now for approximately 10yrs. During friday nights game I had a looser behind me yelling at Clark telling him to go back to the baseball diamond. In the past I would have told him to shut his mouth, but my father who I have tremendous respect for gets irritated when I go off on these idiots. The guy had NO class whatsoever.

[Tiger Flame]

I also was impressed with Jake Reiman as he ran hard and he is only a soph.You never have enough running backs and if he can continue to play like that then we will improve the team and have another weapon in our offense. GO TIGERS

[tiger75]

Die Hard Eric - How about we put Turner at tailback and leave him there and put Reiman at fullback. Put Aaron White at slot receiver and Brandon Pedro at tightend (I realize Pedro is hurt right now). Maybe this way the defense won't be able to key on Turner as soon as he lines up at tailback. With Pedro playing tightend, maybe we will be able to run between the tackle and the tightend because the blocking will be better. There were times in the game that as soon as Turner lined up at tailback, Buchtel blitzed their linebackers and our line had a hard time handling it. That's why Turner bounced outside. Turner had 140 yds on 22 carries and caught 2 passes for 7 yds. That's why he should be the tailback. With Reiman being a hard nosed straight ahead runner, that will also help the offense move the ball inside the tackles. I'm sure if Reiman is hard nosed he will be able to help block the linebackers. With this combination of Turner and Reiman and Clark's passing ability, and the improvement of the offensive line, this offense could give many defenses a lot of trouble.

i agree with that Reiman would be great back there at fullback. he would be a threat in between the tackles. this kid with turner, clark, and grunder would be tough to stop. not to forget pedro and white!

dhe maybe you should worry about your helmet project.

[TIGER27]

But having Turner in at tailback opens up the play action pass.

Were you watching the same game I was? I thought Turner played hurt, It looked like he was scared to be hit on offense and looked timid to deliver the hit on defense. He was scared to run the ball up between the tackles and he was too high as soon as he got the hand off. On 2and 1 or 3rd and 1 you don't run east and west and run out of bounds, you lower your shoulder and get the first down. Turner got almost all of his yardage in the second half when our depth compared to theirs took over. Putting Turner at the slot allows you to use motion and find miss matches plus it makes it even harder for the defense to double team just Turner or Grunder. That still leaves you the threat of Clark running the football with his speed and whoever is at tailback.

were you watching the same game i was? first of all, half the time our o-line was getting pushed into the backfield, causing him to bounce outside sooner than he would have. and no justin is not a bruiser its not his style. then you say he got all those yards in the second half, what difference does that make? and second who do you think that teams are worried about justin turner at running back or anybody else we have on the roster? he is going to michigan my man get a clue would ya. and besides that aaron white is our back up and he isnt gonna pound the ball up the middle either.

[TigerDL71]

who do you think that teams are worried about justin turner at running back or anybody else we have on the roster? he is going to michigan my man get a clue would ya.

Why don't you get a clue? There are 10 other guys out there besides Turner that have to do their job in order for Turner to do his. Obviously they should be worried about Clark or Grunder and if not look what happens. Turner isn't the only one on the field out there, it takes all 10 guys on the field. Give me a break,football is a team game not an individual sport. Besides, the way he was running the football I wouldn't have said he played like a Big Ten recruit. And people wonder why we have athletes now of days that are nothing but me me me and are hot dogs. Maybe you should spend less time cracking on the hard work that DHE with his site and study all other 10 positions on the field.

i know justin isnt the only player on this team. in fact i think we have a nice core of skilled players. if you would have read my previos post you would know that. and i wasnt talking about the other 10 guys on the field. we were talking about running back. and turner is our best running back period. It was his first start at running back in over a year.what does he have to do get 300 for you to be happy.:wall:

In the first half, we had 17 rushes for 43 yds. Obviously there weren't many holes between the tackles. I agree that on 2nd and 1 or 3rd and 1 you should lower your shoulder and get the first down, this is why Reiman should be the fullback. Being a hard nosed kid, he will be able to fill the hole and blow up the linebacker enabling the tailback to gain those tough yds. In the first half Turner had 9 rushes for 24 yds and 2 receptions for 7 yds. He was our leading ground gainer. Clark had 4 rushes for 16 yds. At the end of the game, Turner had 22 rushes for 140 yds and 2 receptions for 7 yds. Clark had 8 rushes for 49 yds. As a team, we had 46 rushes for 254 yds. It seems to me that some adustments were made in the blocking schemes along with us wearing them down some which attributed to this. You can still throw the ball to Turner out of the backfield to help offset defensive schemes. I'll take the 140 yds rushing over the 7 yds receiving any time. If you can find a tailback on our roster that will do better than Turner, contact Jason Hall.

It gets better...

Torrence only rushed a net of over 140 in two games last year.
His performance against McKinley didn't even hit 140.

This isn't a Torrence bashing...just me asking why JT's numbers for the first night out are raising eyebrows?

I'm still just asking...

In 2005, Gamble had 164 opening against Dover, and we were thrilled.

who cares that he might be shying away from contact? he's not the same runner that a BG or ricky johnson was. he's not a bruiser, but i tell you what i will take 6 yards a carry before anyone even lays a finger on him. i mean seriously people, why are we complaining because a kid ran for 140 yards on opening night?!

Because the people around here are never happy no matter what happens and due to that find it necessary to find something to complain about. Once again, we must remember who we are speaking about here. These are high school kids.This site is for the positive promotion of Massillon sports. Is complaining about the performance of a player positively promoting Massillon sports? No. We for the most part are the adults. We need to act as such and that means providing support for these kids. It is not up to us to critique their performances and especially in a public forum. That is the reason we hired Coach Hall. Let him take care of that and the rest of us just need to sit back and cheer on the team.

I agree, talking about a kid on here -- no matter who he is -- should be out of bounds, but apparently not.

Also, I suggest Forum rule No. 10 be eliminated ... since it's only words and doesn't seem to be enforced. Here's what it says:

10. No Negative Threads or Posts About a Student or Their Families (Infraction Value: 2 points, which will expire after 90 days.)
We have a zero tolerance policy about mentioning a student by name and attacking or making any negative comment about that student's athletic ability, character, personality or family. It does not matter if its "common knowledge" or has been reported in a newspaper, keep it off the forums.The kids read the site regularly, and many of them are members.

This is the difference you will see this year. When our guys go in at the half, adjustments will be made. This is a far cry from many of our teams in the past. The coaches talked at the half of ways to get better, not what was going wrong and who isn't playing hard. It is the first game, and we did A LOT of different formations/plays/substitutions. GIVE IT SOME TIME!!!! As long as I see improvement week to week, not just in the win column, but with technique and team work, I will be happy. We have a bunch of great players who are still learning. Improvement each week is what we need to look at. 46 for 254 is a hell of a lot better then 20 for -6. I feel we got some pleasant surprises (#7, even though I knew he would be good, WOW and our D played a nice game) and we did improve. I would much rather keep improving week by week, becoming as close to perfect at the end of the year as we can, as opposed to setting the world on fire in week one and then falling on our faces because we think we are better then others. Good first week, let's improve and never be satisfyied!!! Good luck the rest of the way guys!!

Because it's the myopic Massillon fans that I've been exposing and being ridiculed for years saying they have orange-and-black colored glasses and reality isn't even CLOSE to where they live on Friday and Saturday nights. Jim freaking Brown could be in the backfield and these people would bitch.

Oh yeah one other thing. Section 5 couldn't hold the jock straps of cheering of those of us from Section 13. Not then, not now!! LOL.

Coach Hall also did a fine job of motivating J.T. at halftime. If you ever played football, you will understand what I'm saying. That bit of news was great to hear about our head coach. Team superstar, and on down the roster, if you are not playing up to his standards you WILL be let known in a not to subtle way. I for one have thought that has been lacking in our program over the past years. Coach Hall seems to be bulding back the things that need done one step at a time.

I agree 100%, and it does get your motor running when you get the "motivation" by your coach at halftime. Thoes who haven't played have no clue what we are talking about. When changes like this are made, it takes time. We're 1-0 and we will get better as the year goes on. Kudos to JT as well for taking that contructive criticism, and realizing that Coach Hall is trying to motivate him and make him a better player, not wreck his career. This should trickle down nicely through the ranks.

This team has enough weapons that every defense will have its hands full week in and week out.Coach Hall has plenty of ideas on how to line them up to be successfull.He isn`t going to show everything this early in the season.There is no way you can criticize JT`s effort last week.The kid has been a special player ever since he started playing. I had a chance to help coach him in middle school,for a couple years,and I knew he would be special way back then.Being a Michigan recruit he certainly has a target on his back every week.
Its a blessing to have all the good skill players we have on this team.Let`s support whoever is out there playing.We need to get behind all of the team and cheer them on.Have faith that our line will continue to get better each week.Pedro will certainly help when he returns.This TEAM has a very good CHEMISTRY!That is going to mean a lot by the end of the year.
Go Tigers!

i agree with that Reiman would be great back there at fullback. he would be a threat in between the tackles. this kid with turner, clark, and grunder would be tough to stop. not to forget pedro and white!

dhe maybe you should worry about your helmet project.

Reimann looked pretty good in there tonight spelling JT. I never said that the kid should take over for JT, but he definitely needs to be on the field. In fact after watching tonights game (Jordan), there are a handfull of guys that should be on the field and some that should be sittin (you know who i am talking about). But what do i know, i just run a silly helmet website. :jestera:

Kind of strange that coach Hall would not try to use Bo`s speed against Jordan.No balls went his way until the middle of the 4th quarter.A week after scoring 4 touchdowns he gets 2 balls thrown his way for the game.I guess he was trying to get other recievers involved this game but wonder what might have been if he would have gotten a handfull more touches.Then again there is no "I" in team so I don`t want to complain.

Coach Hall is doing a first rate job running this team.I am so glad he is here!Go TIGERS Beat NORMANDY!!!

Hall was interviewed at halftime and asked about Grunder. He said that Bo had been sick all week, that he was needed more on D, but that come the 4th quarter we would have our best players on the field and he would be out there.

Thanks for that usefull bit of info.Bo never even mentioned that he wasn~t feeling well last week.I guess I need to keep a closer eye on his health.Turns out he had a sore throat all week.
