Blackman Blaze 2015

[Frags]

From what I have heard, pretty much everyone seems pleased with Watson and I think as of now the rest of the staff will remain with the exception of coach Strap, he's playing in the arena league.

Going to need coaches on both sides of the line and a defensive coordinator. Wont be suprised if he stays local to fill all of those openings

Watson will do very well. He's ready and able to lead, and talent is not an issue.

team may have better chemistry

Really?  I guess if they have better chemistry, that may make up for some of the talent they lost...but, surely they don't have a QB that will match the numbers that Jennings put up, do they....Who is the OC for Blackman?

 Well as we all know, chemistry can be a huge benefit, but it doesn't completely overcome talent.  Not saying that we don't have the talent at the QB position, because there are some players with real potential in the ranks. The thing that Jennings had was both his strength and weakness if you can call it that. He was the kinda player who would put the team/game on his shoulders and and carry the load if needed. Sometimes it meant playing selfish ball  and making plays and sometimes there were other options. But that also comes with age  and expierience which he will get plenty of at UT. Who knows who will step up this next season, and who knows who will transfer in/out or have a huge off season. It will be different for sure, but Blackman will still make a good showing I am sure.

Great points Blaze45. I spent 6 years with Blackman High School Football and it always amazed me how each year after graduation you would say how we gonna replace that guy. Yet every year kids matured and stepped up, filled those rolls and embraced the challenge. I'm sure the same will happen next year and it sounds like yours will be a big part of that stepping up.

My son has lots of work in front of him he was just a freshman this year My screen name is misleading. But you are right Sam Luker as an upcoming Sr will be a big part of that defense. and strength across the middle. We got exposed mid-season there and it nearly bit us a few games It will allow Armsrong (if he gets the nod) at qb to play one way.The interesting part will be watching the method behind the madness this year. Do we play players because of tenure, or do we take the Riverdale approach and start to develop the underclassmen and set up for success in year 2 and 3 under Watson reign
