So I take that as a No? You’re welcome!

Are there cumulative season stats on digital scout.com? If there are I haven’t found them. Max prep website will give a cumulative season stats total by team/player. The thing about max prep website is tackle totals are inflated due to their system does not calculate assists as 1/2 tackle. You have to do the math for accuracy or you can add up each tackle total by game in digitalscout. Max prep website also shows defensive caused fumbles & fumble recoveries which aren’t in the digital scout site game totals and only in the play by play tab. Good thing between the 2 the info is there.

Extremely proud of how our line played. The effort & execution has continued to improve every game. Still things to work on to protect our QB more but they played hard all night.

176

We can be hit & miss with run at times. We were finding it hard to stop your run game. More mental defensive execution issues giving up big runs at times than lack of physical ability to make the stop. I’d like to see the defense that can completely stop your run lol. They’ll have to brake Swafford in two or knock him out cause he ain’t stopping! We needed to keep scoring and left too many inside the red zone opportunities empty handed.

Are you referring to the Meigs County game? We had negative rushing yards due to TFLs but even without those we could not run the ball. We abandoned it and marched down field with passes. We catch balls and don’t throw INTs we win that game with zero run game. Run game is a work in progress and seems to be improving quickly!

Junior can do Algebra & Calculus but can’t add 4 up on his finger....he gets 6! We got 4 and still have 4. He might just be messing with us all! After 4 what’s 2 more threw in there for giggles. This is the kid who isn’t intimidated by Saban or anything he can throw at him apparently!

We got to fix the being tired. That is what kills our execution. Greenback teams don’t get tired! We always play both ways but we typically have a little more depth at all positions. I mean we can’t afford for some to come off at all right now. I think our effort grade gets watered down because we have A effort some plays and a lot of B effort and then in critical moments we have those F effort plays when we should be going for the jugular. So many mistakes on 3rd downs both sides of the ball. We kill ourselves way too much. We can fix that.

How big is he? In June he was reported 6’1 and 182. He’s bigger than that isn’t he? Trust me I’ve been told he plays big so really that’s all that matters. We’ve chased the older McKinney QB from Coalfield for years and the biggest he played as a Senior was 6’3 and about 210-215 (or that was what I remembered him listed at). He was fast for a bigger QB. Harig from Loudon is not big but he has wheels and can change direction fast and throw on the run. As a GB fan I can only hope we can put pressure on Swafford and limit him as much as possible. A few sacks or turnovers would be nice too. Any time you can mess that timing up is always good. We just have to be ready for the tuck and run & lay the wood to him. No arm tackling....I’m talking about playing behind the pads and popping whoever has the ball. Sometimes it takes awhile for the guys to realize this ain’t halfway tackling like practice & it sure ain’t tag your it 7 on 7. Geez!

You should write comedy! Or fiction! You are really good at both!

Absolutely not! Remember we lost to 3A Loudon in 2015 and to a really good Kingston team in OT same year and managed to win what I believe at the time was considered an upset vs Columbia in the semis. That team gelled and made adjustments after losing a lot of starters to graduation the previous year. These boys will learn to fight and be aggressive and not give up the Greenback way.

We have last year’s returning offensive line minus one. They’ll figure it out.

Roy you weren’t at the game lol! If you were you need glasses. I don’t recall #17 in the backfield last night. If he was it was brief and I don’t recall him touching the ball.

Well your perspective is wrong lol! Our coach knows what adjustments to make but he can only motivate players to step up and play with fight. At some point the players have to get it done on the field. That fight comes from within the heart of the individual. Mental mishaps can be fixed by putting in extra effort in the film room and accepting constructive criticism. The players who really want it will find & welcome the help to get better. It first starts with “want to”! You are only as good as your weakest link or links. We fix just the line issues and we are immensely better and defensive needs to learn and understand their assignments so they can play full speed and be in position to tackle and make a play. Trust me they get coached! Each player needs to decide if they want to show up for practice to learn and get better or whine and make excuses pointing the finger.

As a team...yes I agree! We’ll fix the problems I am sure.

We’ll help ourselves out a lot if we switch some personnel around. We should have had a few pics tonight! We are handcuffing ourselves.

Real head scratcher considering we returned all but one lineman from last year’s offensive front. I knew how much we were going to miss #55 Plemons but come on... I think a few needed what happened tonight to be honest. Defense has way way too many people playing in wrong positions. It is obvious. I’m sure we’ll fix that. If we don’t we are going to have a long season.

Oh you guys know it’s too early for that yet. We haven’t even played a game!

I was waiting for that!

Awe yes that Thunder Roberts kid had a high motor. For some reason I thought Stewart & Warner were just Juniors last year. Remind me again how many preseason All State players were picked from Whitwell?

Two huge names missing....Petty & Wingo!!! Who else am I missing to graduation?

I don’t know about that. Much respect for Oneida’s defense over the years.

I hope you keep 9 in the box when you come to GB!!

Now Roy I didn’t exactly say that lol. I’m just hardcore and believe with their size, ability & hard work on the mental part our QB shoudn’t get hurried that much. There is a difference. It’s the little things.

I hope surgery went well! We could see from the stands it was a bad brake. Continued prayers for recovery!
