Football preview: Greenon has a new look
Everything’s new this season for the Greenon football team, from the head coach to the plays the Knights will run.
John Jewell took over for Tim Hale over the summer. He wants to run a spread offense, much different from last season’s wing-T. Jewell also wants the Knights to be more aggressive on defense with stunts and blitz plays.
The Knights will have a new quarterback, Josh Pilcher. Pilcher is a good athlete and intercepted eight passes on defense last season.
Most people hear “spread offense” and think about teams throwing the ball. That’s not exactly the point — it does incorporate more pass plays, but it also opens up the run game by “spreading out” the defense. A 50/50 run-to-pass ratio is usually the desired mix.
Greenon have won at least five games every year since 2005. The Knights will be an experienced group, and the key will be how to merge the new coach’s philosophy with the players’ abilities.
