This game will be a big challenge because the Govs struggle to stop the run. We've traded defensive problems for new ones. Last year, we were solid at stopping the run, but we were hapless at defending against the pass. And wouldn't you know.... Last year every team in the region was airing it out like crazy and this year everyone is running the ball well. Just our luck :huh:

So the Govs can't stop what the other team is doing?

I'm saying our defensive weakness plays into the strengths of other teams. Last year, we sucked at defending the pass and most of the teams in the region were pass happy. This year, we have a greatly improved secondary and suck at defending the run and all of a sudden all the teams have a good run game. That's bad luck lol

Every teams weaknesses plays into their opponents. That's why coaches break down film and study it and why teams practice.

That's all real nice on paper, but it doesn't work out real well in reality unless you are an open zone school that has a regular flow of top talent coming in from all over Blount and Knox Co. Most teams are not balanced and lean heavily on the run or pass. Meaning, they are gonna stick with their bread and butter no matter what because they dont have the means to change their offensive identity from week to week to exploit another team's weaknesses.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
