    I would have thought Jeff was a very winnable game…. Boy was I wrong

    It was a very winnable game. We shut down their offense after a strong 1st quarter and tied it up 14-14 and then didn't score another point and lost 17-14. We had multiple drives deep into their territory and threw multiple interceptions.

    Maybe he's sore because DB lost the last game against WB.     Your analysis of Sevier and WR is spot on, both are winnable, but of course you have to do it on the field.

    Actually they beat us in the 2019 playoffs when we went up there, but we beat them in the 2016 regular season. You're right about having to do it on the field. There's a big difference between having the ability to beat someone and actually going out and doing it. UT's performance against Pitt is a great example of that.

    (Return home for some winnable games) Sevier County,West Ridge and Ole DB.This is going to be EPIC!!!..

    I think West Ridge and Sevier County are winnable games. And why not? We beat Sevier County last year and West Ridge is a brand new school and from the sounds of it they are having a lot of the same issues we are having in terms of being sloppy and commiting a lot of penalties and turnovers. Plus they have to get on buses and make a 2.5 trip down here. A lot of times kids don't respond well to that. It can be hard to come that far on a bus and get off ready to play. We almost upset Elizabethton when they came down here a few years ago and I think that was a big part of it. Finally, why is a DB fan so concerned with my take on which games are winnable?

  4. This one probably won't be remotely close. Science Hill usually has a lot of offensive firepower and we haven't shown any ability to stop a decent offense yet. We also can't seem to get out of our own way on offense. This is a game to experiment and work on some things before we return home for a stretch of winnable games. We have to find a way to finish drives and stop turning the dam ball over. I've been saying the last part since I first logged onto Facebook back in 2012. It's been almost a decade. Some things never change.

    I thought the QB was supposed to be good??Clemmer right?I'm sure his dad was the one filming GBs practices for your AD to send to TSSAA trying to get Micah to be ineligble when he had to transfer after his Grandmothers death.Maybe the chickens have came home to roost Bobby Bouche.

     

    They are talented kids and I blame the coaches for their deficiencies. I remember when we first saw the older brother step in against Ooltewah back in 2017. He was raw and young, but you could see potential there. He could string together a lot of really nice passes, but then he would throw an absolute duck into double or triple coverage and get picked off. We saw that until he graduated and now we are seeing it again. That's coaching. With good coaching, your players should be improving every year and not staying at the same level they were at as freshmen and sophomores.

    If WB wouldn't have taken the whole 2nd quarter off this game would have been a lot worse than it is.

    Yep we left about 30 points on the field. Our QB play has been very questionable. You can't win games turning the ball over 3 or more times every game. Tonight our qb threw multiple interceptions and got strip sacked. I kept thinking I was seeing Guarantano 2.0 when I was watching the stream tonight. At some point we have to make a change even if that means moving a receiver over to QB or something. If you can't get reliable and accurate passing you might as well have a good athlete back there who can make plays with the ball in his hands.

    WB should win this one. I liked their quick throws to receivers going down field last week. As their field got smaller when getting around the red zone ending up with two costly interceptions needs to be worked on and some better things may happen in some of the remaining games.

    I think the QB was trying to force plays and that's when bad stuff happens. It's better to throw it away and use up a play than it is to throw an interception.

    The coaching hasn’t been great at all but like you said these players are the most talented wb has had since 07.  We can’t give them a pass as they have yet to make plays for themselves through 2 games 

    How do you figure this team is the most talented? WB has had more good players than people think because we are poorly coached. Franklin was as good as any back we've had since I've been watching WB games. The starting back for Greeneville is very similar to him and Greeneville is one of the best programs in the state. They just have a really good line and we have a line that lets our backs get hit in the backfield every play. 

  9. Barney,

    You don't make a lick of sense. You have criticized Shad's coaching over and over and now you make it sound like he would be a big success if he got more money. Meadows succeeded with what we had. And don't say he just had so much more talent. That 07 team was really talented, but Meadows could have consistently won at least 5 games with the rosters Shad has had. Let's talk about Shad's play calling. Run, run,  pass. It's boring and unimaginative. That plus a poorly developed line isn't going to win many football games. Our line play is awful. We are without a doubt the weakest team in 6A and I haven't seen more than half of the 6A teams play. Forget all the excuses that we could make for that. I'm not saying we should be Oakland or Alcoa on the o-line, but we ought to be able to patch together a line that can compete with freaking Karns. We have boys with the right frames. Why can't our coaches coach them up? Maryville is always good on the line. Why is that? Are the boys inside the city limits just born better football players or does Maryville have the coaching to produce linemen that perform at a high level every year? Why did Meadows always have pretty good lines at WB? It's coaching....

    This is where you get lost ma’am , you only see results from a GAME, there’s so much more to it than winning or losing on Friday night.  

    But I think most running backs want a line that can block enough so that they aren't getting hit in the backfield every play. Our line development is non-existent right now. That's just a fact. If Shad "retires," I hope we bring in a coach that knows how to develop linemen.
