Case Study: Edinbee Vs. PSJA Threats

We attended the Edinburg bobcats game versus the PSJA Bears. The game took place on October 19,2017. We decided to scout the defensive ends for the Edinburg bobcats. The Edinburg bobcats came out in a whole new defensive compared to their usual formations. The bobcats usually run a 4-2-5. They like to have 4 true line men on the field always to help stop the run.
