Yeah! Robo isn’t ready! |
Seen them on stream and not live, but what style do you want them to play? They look like the most complete team. You don’t want to run with them, as they are fast and will win a track meet. If you play a 6v6 slow game they will pick you apart. Most of their goals I have seen that way have been in the 5-10yd range, they work a team O and don’t rely on 1v1 dodge, and not the 15-20yd prayers most kids try to hit. They seem to have 2 mids who are huge, like 6’4+. Poles are big, not huge, but they are nasty and have seen more pole goals from them in a game than most teams have in a season. It’s really pick your poison, run with them and lose a track meet, slow it down and they pick you apart. You can’t just lock off 1 kid as all of them can step up and score and seem to play position less roles |
Was this about Indy or Robo? |
Please, you are either a YT homer or just that naive. The kid from Loudoun County HS last year Richardson, holds state records The one from Riverside who is at Jacksonville now was State POY, his running mate at Riverside too. Robo kid from 25 WP kid 25 Langley kid who got hurt this year The Patrick Henry kid who went to ND football in 24 Just to name a few 3 at YT is good, but not one of a kind. Most all of them helped their team to at least a state championship final if not win. 3 has not. Hype and substance are two different things dad. |
| Robo is going to win it all. |
I mean, he is a junior. I wouldn’t have expected him to take his team to states as a freshman or sophomore. The stakes certainly rise this year and next, but he still has 2 more chances. |
| I’d like to see how Indy and Madison match up |
Poor Madison can’t score on good teams. They play in preseason and it was 10-1 or something |
Maybe next year, he and they have at least 4-5 better teams ahead of them. |
Didn’t Indy scored about 8 of these goals with their starters against Madison’s jv players. |
Repeating that line or were you there? . If you were there you’re a Madison parent and biased. Hmmm Im not pro Indy or anti Madison but excuses are excuses, Indy (unfortunately) is the team to beat this year. |
Indy would beat Madison by 5+ |
Sorry, this would be Indy Robo seems to play a slower methodical game. Things ran through 8 but not exclusively, on O. Their D is very solid and tough to get around. FO game is strong too. Have not seen them as as Indy and the games I saw were lopsided. Robo is solid but not flashy/ spectacular just seem to grind you down. |
Yes, it was 2-1 Indy at the half - I'm not sure how noting the score makes someone biased but whatever - and Madison played its deep bench and JV call-up guys the whole second half, but it was also at least a couple months ago and before the season even started, so I'm not sure how accurate a reflection of the current situation it would be even if Madison had played its starters all game. But both teams have a long way to go before they might even play again, with some very good teams between here and there - BF, Robo/Yorktown, etc. - so it seems premature to speculate on that matchup anyway. |
