  2. Best QB's in Tennessee you have ever seen?

    in Class 5A & Class 6A

    Posted

    I like his poise and accuracy. He's tall and mobile and he doesn't favor a particular receiver. He spreads it around. You watched him twice and probably saw his two worst performances. I also give credit to your team's defense, because you guys picked him off 8 times. That wasn't an accident, it was an awesome scheme, defensive pressure, and ball hawking DB's. Yet, with all of that, including the atmosphere, their best attack against your team was through the air because their run game didn't show up. He's resilient. He forget's his mistakes and keeps on going.

     

    He's been a starter since his sophomore year and rightly so. His arm and the way he shreds defensive backfields is a main reason why Ridgeway is so successful. You don't know who he will throw the ball to when they pass.

     

    That's why I like him so much. You just can't allow him time to throw. He will pick you apart. Heaven forbid the run game gets going.

     

    You know ... if I'm Ridgeway ... I got this game marked on my calendar. Twice, Ridgeway came into Paris and just shot themselves in the foot, time and time again. Especially Braxton ... you KNOW he's been waiting all summer for Henry County. He's got unfinished business with Henry County. I know he probably personally feels responsible for those two losses. He's a leader on that team so you know he felt he let his team down.

     

    I personally don't think that Ridgeway is intimidated in any fashion about playing in Henry County. This year will be the third time, there is nothing they haven't experienced, except a victory. They will bring a crowd and expectations.

     

    It's mostly BHS and myself singing his praises on here. But, if you asked any other poster from Memphis who has seen him play they will all probably tell you that he's special.

     

    Thank you kwc. I am not going to lie, when we had to play Ridgeway in the playoffs I was a little nervous that he would play much better but we were just poised to get another ring last year. I am excited to see him again this year especially since we have lost a bit from our defense last year.

    Facts:

     

    Ridgewaywill be loaded this again this year. According to Donovan Stewart's of the Examiner, Ridgeway return's 6 on Offense and 6 on defense. I kind of think those numbers are off. I think it's higher on 'O'. The OL has two returning starters, both are pretty big. (#72) Cameron Jones a 6'-3", 290 lb. OT and (#78) Larry Palm a 6'-2", 295 lb. OT. Their 2nd string center off of last year's team will probably start this year, (#54) Nicholos Wiseman at 6'-1" 245 lb. I'm sure their two new guards will be pretty sizeable.

     

    They have size and speed returning.Two players have already verballed to play for Arkansas State next year. RB Earl Harrison (#32) and DT/DE Elonte Batemon (#53).

     

    Donovan's 5A Capsule

     

    Their coach has done it again this season. Their first three games of the season are Olive Branch, then district 6A opponent Southwind, then Henry County ... in that order. Their schedule is RIFE with big, strong, deadly opposition, in and out of district play. There aren't too many schedules tougher. Their out of district opponents are 1) Olive Branch (MS) [2011, 6A state champ in MS], 2) Henry County [Last year's 5A state champ], 3) Whitehaven [2012 6A state champ], and 4) Memphis East [last year a quarterfinalist in 5A]. They play 6 road games this season. The Ridgewway @ Henry County game is going to be one of the best in the state.

     

    Ridgeway's 2014 Schedule

     

    Expect an experienced and hungry Ridgeway team. If Braxton can keep the turnover's down and NOT throw any INT's ... this game will be VERY interesting indeed! Especially since he has all of his backfield returning and three of his pass catchers from last season.

     

    I have a question about the quarterback. Last year everyone from Memphis talked about how great he was. In 2 games against Henry County he had 8 interceptions and I think he lost a fumble. Do you think it was just nerves of playing in Henry County? What makes him so great?

    After watching the highlights on their website, their running game does look improved. One thing I noticed was they get a lot of turnovers. I think we only had one the first time we played them. So we have to protect the ball. Another thing I noticed is they get tons of pressure. Our offensive line has to play better than they did in the second half against East. One thing I noticed the first time we played them is when they sent people in motion we were confused. I believe our coaching staff will fix that issue this game. Playing a team twice always makes me nervous. Let's go out there and play smart, fundamental football.

    Opinion and Observation....Offensively East will show multiple sets with favorite sets being and I backfield, a wing and a split. They will also go two tight with a wing..From the sets, Easts loves the power play and counter trey action. They will run play action off of these sets also. Good size up front with no fat bellys. Fullback is primarily a lead blocker. Will run the ball on third or fourth and short. Receivers can run and also catch the ball. Stunting in obvious passing downs will create problems for East. Defense is the strong suit of this football team. Base defense is a 4-3. Lineman do a good job of getting off blocks and linebackers fly to the ball. East will put pressure by coming off the edge also! Misdirection would be a consideration or counter action because of the fast flow of the linebackers. Kicking game...Kickoffs not very deep. down to about 15. Extra points are generally reliable, but SLOW! Field goals are out of the question from the 20 out. Punting game is not very solid.. strong rush and the punter has shown a tendency to hurry and not have very good kicks.

     

    Opinion of outcome..Have no idea how a three hour travel on the road will affect East. The venue will play a big role in the outcome.. Walking down the sidewalk with all the tailgaters can be intimidating. I'm sure the stands will be full and the horns will be aplenty! If Henry doesn't lose the battle of turnovers, I would think that Henry will be moving on to the next round. I

    What kind of crowd will East bring? I am hoping they bring a big one and make for a great atmosphere.

    I watched the highlights from when they played Ridgeway and they have a fast running back that is a big play threat. They also have a fullback that can run with power. Every time their Qb dropped back on the video he was sacked so I could not tell what kind of arm he had. Their line looked decent sized but not as big as Ridgeway's. They had a long kick return too so special teams need to step up.
