The question is, can any of them throw the ball pretty good right now? How much better could they get since they haven't ever played QB in high school?

 

Looks like Riverdale will be the same as last year with no passing game.

Why would we pass...when you can run? We barely had to. We supposed to have a new offensive package this year, and new plays out of the wing t

paul boykin was QB on c/o 2008's freshman team that won the lions bowl, he did pretty well there and trey smith was his backup. aaron ebalarosa was QB on c/o 2009's freshman team who was of course a little less successful but he still appears to be a great talent as well as the other 2 :lol:

ok but that is exactly that, FRESHMAN. They were still playing the same kids they played in middle school. None have played QB at the varsity level yet.

 

Just so everybody knows because I don't want this brought up later... I'm not being negative about Riverdale's QB situation because I'm a Smyrna fan. I just find it an interesting competition which I am skeptical of and am voicing my opinion.

NP, It's really a fair question. It's also a question that every team in the state will have to answer this year....and every year. There just aren't any teams that have a proven varsity player returning at every position.

 

I saw both T. Smith and Boykin take snaps with the varsity in scrimmages and in games. Either will be adequate throwing the ball on the short to intermediate routes (which we need to do more of). Boykin can obviously run the ball well. I'm not sure what kind of runner Smith is. Smith was #2 all fall but lost some time early in the fall due to injury.

 

I expect a spirited competition in the spring between Boykin, Smith, and Ebal. Obviously, all need to play somewhere but will also be part of the depth chart at QB. There may be a couple others that get in the mix. Someone will step up and run the offense the way Coach A wants it run.

 

The QB race will be interesting but I'm much more concerned about finding the right players on the DL and at LB. I'm also hoping that the coaching staff works hard on improving special teams. If the OL lives up to it's promise we'll be OK on offense.

 

Hopefully we'll start getting spring practice dates and scrimmage opponents soon.

      I extend my gratitude to ManCoverage for initiating this discussion thread tailored to the residents of Trousdale County. In times of adversity within our football team, it is imperative to have an outlet for expression, and what better platform than CoachT's Craigslist forum? I respectfully request that GOAT exercise discretion in his commentary, as his remarks have caused me personal distress.

      I am inclined to wager a substantial portion of my financial assets on the likelihood that Waggoner shall transition to an alternative coaching vocation prior to the year 2028. It is my contention that discerning individuals are beginning to perceive his coaching prowess as lacking in the requisite excellence. Allow me to articulate the following assertion: Waggoner represents a markedly superior choice compared to the individual who perpetrated the act of fuel theft.   This individual exhibits a conspicuous propensity for frequent professional transitions, a trait which undermines his credibility and renders him an untenable choice for serious consideration. It is indeed confounding that his candidacy continues to garner attention and support.

      Yeah same   It’s definitely true that tough times make tough kids, but some kids just have a big passion for the game and will become the best of the best no matter where they come from.
