Why Vero Beach will win states this year


VeniceIndianFan

Recommended Posts

1. Their defense is crazy this year, holding Venice, Centennial, and Pahokee to only a combined 55 points, and all of those games were on the road too.

2. Vero Beach returns a veteran offense along with most of the o line man and 2 exceptional wide receivers with one hell of a quarterback too. Their running game has also improved a lot since their game against Venice.

3. Confidence doesn’t seem to be a problem for them this year, it seems they have the hunger that was lacking last year.

4. Riverview is not as good as they were this year, so I think they are not a significant threat to Vero this year. Osceola also doesn’t impress me.

5. They will be at home for the first 2 or 3 rounds of the playoffs.

What are your guys thoughts on this?

Vero has not been terribly successful running the ball...

Venice-22 carries for 48 yards 

Dr Krop 15 carries for 77 yards

Pahokee 26 carries for 78 yards

Centennial 29 carries for 70 yards

I cannot see them winning a state title without more consistent balance on offense.  If they make it to the state final, I suspect they will face a very tough defense that will pin their ears back if Vero is one dimensional.

Yes and no. Despite not having good numbers rushing they have been trying  to get the ground game running poor efficiency has been a cause but also penalties. They had some big plays come back for calls which would have helped our numbers and also its was more so a “who’s gonna be the best option” at first with no clear view at the beginning of the season if we had a workhorse so the line really never got a chance to come together in the offseason and mesh to see what style running back they’d be blocking for, as we know different backs have different  styles of running which requires a different style of blocking despite the same plays being called.  I think the second half with Primus-Winston being the “bell cow” they will improve knowing how he runs. Not to mention they don’t have a by week until later this season so it wasn’t like they could install anything earlier. I have faith they’ll get the running game better, as I believe the coaches want to have it as a bigger part of the game plans.

The O-line is pretty much all new from last season, the Viera KOC game was evident of that, the line play was abysmal, but they are improving. Pahokee’s D line ran roughshod on them, though.

i think you may see Vero lose possibly this week or next (more likely.) After the Centennial game their sideline looked like a war zone with many starters down due to injury. I don’t know how many of those injured players will be back this week, but both Westwood and a big physical Treasure Coast team will come into the game after a bye week. Having played 9 games straight, Vero may very well limp into their bye during week 10.

Their not winning states this year trust me, running game is suspect and we have to rely on Harris or Cuff to score for us,  there is like 5 ways you can beat Vero this year

I think we finish out the rest of the regular season undefeated but I can't see us making it past the second round of the playoffs

If standings stay the same they will play DP in the second round who's offense is looking a little shaky but there defense will get after Veros Qb so that will still be a tough game for Vero. 

If they do make it past that they will probably run into Osceola, who even tho doesn't impress you has been playing lights out and has three things Vero struggles with:

1. A good running game with multiple backs who can take it the distance at any time.

2. A mobile QB, who Vero always struggles with as we seen how Viera's mobile QB torched there defense in the classic.

3. A really good D-line that will get to the QB.

2013

Why do you doubt your team so much? Earlier in the year, back when your icon was green and your name was FloTech, you said that Vero Beach would comfortably beat Mainland because they returned 75 percent of the offense. Mainland is a pretty damn good team from what I’ve heard, and if you guys can face them, why do you think Riverview or Osceola would knock you guys out of the playoffs? It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

What position did you play in 2013?  Is this the only year you have played football?  Curious as to how you know how to beat VB?  They look decent to me....but then again what do I know?  

Go back and look at our schedules that we've been playing for the last 10 plus yrs not just coach J era but before then and compare them to the teams we lose to in the playoffs

    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
