Ryan Wade (who played A/M) and (maybe) David Little come to mind....and your insight furthers the discussion on 'why' they need 3 'threatening' attackers or said differently ......6 offensive players that demand game planning.old salt wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 4:01 pmWho's Navy's last righty wing attackman who could effectively dodge from the wing.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 3:21 pmCounter point. I have not not seen every goal this season, but would argue that the majority of those goal came from inside or climbing from X, NOT initiated from the righty wing. Look at where the vast majority of the goals come (and are initiated) from by 28 and 29, in a position that would have otherwise been an attackman dodging from the wing......all this is my point, It squeezes your attackman down into more confined space...and that does what?, exactly, it makes them far easier to cover.old salt wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 2:53 pmRegarding productivity out of the righty wing spot, if you total the goals scored by #32, #6, #24, #16, that position is the team leader. #32 & #6 were not on the field together enough to be statistically significant. There's been production out of the position. It just has not always been pretty. That said, #16 played well & kept the ball moving.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 2:12 pm Offense was meh. Noticed they sprinkled in some fresh players....which was refreshing. Kudos to #16 on his first Goal and to coach Goers snagging it for him after the play. Seems #6 was out for a known/unknown reason and #16 did a fine job. IMO, it scratches that itch I have been fussing about with a righty attackman always being out there that the D has to respect...will be interesting to see how it unfolds this week. And the skip passes are what started the scoring ...
If you step back and look at it from 10k-ft view, it seems to be a by-product of the 'type/style' of 2-2-2 offense Ross is running. It is maximizing the shooters in 28/29 but making it awfully tough for the rest of the guys.
#6, like Jack Ray before him, are big, physical climbing from X dodgers. Perreten & #32 are savvy lurkers who find the open spot inside. #21 is a X man, not a wing attackman. Have not yet seen a healthy #24 to see what he can do from the wing, but I think he initiates most often from x, or at least that's the plan. Let's see what #16 can do.
I haven't charted them but most of the goals seem to be initiated by 29, 28, or 43, whoever can iso on a shorty.
When MF2 is playing, they try to iso 64 on a shorty, often from an invert.
I am optimistic that 16 can open things up for 21 and 10, with very limited minutes thus far....I suspect he will be on short leash.
