Cookeville

I am curious about this I was at the game friday night and I have never seen a team try to strip the ball on so many tackles. I think this is a great game plan, if it is a plan, but what I was curious about is if ya'll practice at making teams turn the ball over?

I had commented on an earlier thread about that. They did a great job of getting the ball out and they were the ones to blame for 3 of our turnovers GREAT JOB COOKEVILLE

Obviously they coach that pretty hard and with good results. I don't think we could have survived another turnover.

 

It's pretty easy to spot a team that is well coached and where the players respond to the coaching. Cookeville is such a team.

Thanks guys for all of the respect. I know that the players appreciate it from a team of your caliber. Nobody else gives them any respect.

 

Joslin is a great coach as is Rankin. He preaches (or at least when I played for him) that one play could change the outcome of the entire game. Weather it's a turnover, a big run, catch, whatever, but we need to make that big play. Unfortunately for us we didn't get it, but I won't ever argue that Riverdale was just better than us. I am happy that we did what we did against you all.

 

There was a great article, I don't know weather it was in the Tennessean or the Herald Citizen here in Cookeville, but it had both Rankin and Joslin on the front of the sports page and it talked about both coaches. It was an outstanding article, I thought. Joslin's days are coming. The man has done great things here in Cookeville, and I still believe the best is yet to come.

 

One more thing and I am done. I have a ton more respect for Rankin after Friday night. My brother was a senior offensive lineman on the CHS team and, as everybody knows, that last loss is tough. Rankin came to my brother after the game and told him what a great player he is and what an outstanding job he did on the field. He really cought me at that point, and I now have the utmost respect for the man. True class.

Good luck to the Cavs and to the SR's you left it all on the field and then more and that's what the fans the family, coaches, and underclassman will remember you by that each time you took the field you played with class heart and determination so carry this with you into the game of life, and you will do very well.

I am sure Tennessee Tech will snatch a few from the roster.

There are three things you must practice everyday in order to be a great defense:

1. Tackling

2. Pursuit

3. Creating Turnovers.
