Kingston @ Rockwood

[eagleflight]

LOL, you sound like a real fan calling your own players classless. Is it taking pride in your TEAM MATES, COACHES AND YOUR SCHOOL when you call one of your players classless? You rockwood people are hilarious! No wonder you cant beat Kingston! At least they support their TEAM MATES, COACHES AND SCHOOL. LOL. And btw, I would love to see your qb on our team. You dont know how good you have it.

 

 

HSsportznut, I didn't mean to sound classless. This isn't the first issue with this person and I won't go into any detail because it's in his past where it belongs. I just hope this young man grows up and sees because some fans are being obnoxious he doesn't have to be the same way!! I'm a tiger fan win or lose and Im proud of the boys on this team. Nobody can say those players didnt want this game as much as kingston. If they hadn't wanted it as bad they would have quit when they were behind and everything was going wrong. NOBODY HAS HEART MORE THAN OUR TIGERS!!! put that heart to win and the talent we have on this team together and everybody else on our schedule better look out because we are playing to WIN!!! Just wait and see come playoffs we'll be right in the hunt for the state championship!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BIG GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont worry boys the rockwood fans are behind you all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all fairness, I must admit, I heard it too and was appalled. There were young children there and they were chanting away the obscenity. What is high school football coming to now? Whats next? HGH ? Steroids? Coreographed end zone dances? I hate to see some of the stuff we see in college and pro games starting to make its way into the high school game either on the field or in the stands.

 

 

by pointing that out i wasnt trying to take sides with rockwood or kingston cause what happened on each side was wrong.. but chanting cuss words? but it would be kinda sweet to see limited end zone dances lol jk.

ROCKWOOD FANS GET USED TO IT!

 

Rockwood will never be better than a middle of the road team with Webb at the helm. 44 up the middle on the first play is automatic! Quit your belly aching! You know thats how it is going to be! Why Webb thinks running up the middle on the first play of the game is going to surprise anyone is beyond me. But thats how its going to be. Accept it and shut up! Rockwood fans need to get used to inferior Kingston teams dominating you year in and year out because of these reasons:

 

1) This is the poorest coached team in the state. They have a player that has played line all his life trying to play wingback (and doing an ok job). BUT, their line is the worst in the state and he could make it 100% better. Instead, they have a bunch of smaller weaklings that cant block their grandmothers allowing defensive players a free pass right into the backfield! In all my years of playing and watching football I have never seen a team that had bigger running backs than lineman. But Webb and his brain trust have decided that putting lineman at running back and running backs in the line is the way to go. (I wonder if Maryville and Alcoa do it that way?) Last year they took a 3 yr starter at tight end (who was among the best around) and moved him to wingback making them the only team in the state with a 6'4 wingback! No one has a clue why to this day.

 

2) Blocking and tackling is a joke. The line cant block for the running game or the passing game. But maybe even worse than their blocking is the tackling. Sweetwater ran thru them the entire second half and Kingston ran thru them the entire game. Just one missed tackle after another! Football is not rocket science. Execute the basics and the game gets much simpler to play. I'm not sure they know the basics.

 

3) Rockwood's old school philosophy of 3 yards and a cloud of dust went out back in the 70's but obviously he and his staff havent figured that out yet. They think that running 44 up the middle is a miracle play that no one knows about or expects! Imagine how shocked they must be when it repeatedly got stuffed last night!

 

4) These coaches have no idea how to coach the passing game. They can't teach lineman how to pass protect or receivers how to run routes. Their pass plays are a joke. Anyone that knows football knows that a bootleg pass is the most difficult pass to make, yet 90% of Rockwoods passes are bootlegs with the qb running to the sideline and 2 or 3 receivers running to the sideline with him. They all bunch up in a small space together with all the defensive players that are guarding them and then try to throw the ball to one of them! And why do they roll a left handed qb to the right and make him throw against his body? Isnt it difficult enough to pass while rolling out on the run with unblocked rushers and blitzers coming thru untouched? (AH, the wonders of the tiger offense!!! )

 

5) Their lack of knowledge of the passing game affects the defense as well. Since the coaches cant teach the passing game, they cant figure out how to defend it either. Teams that spread the ball out and pass move at ease against this team. They dont know how to stop a passing attack. Wait till CAK and any other passing team comes to town. Last year Harriman spread them out and rolled all over them (thank goodness Harrimans defense was so bad that they couldnt stop the tigers or Harriman would have won the game). Rockwood will never stop a spread attack or anybody that passes. Kingston, which is anything but a passing team, caught them last night with a huge reception on a 2nd and 15 when for some reason Rockwood didnt seem to be thinking that a pass might be called. I guess they thought 44 up the middle might be a more likely call in that situation! (Unfortunately, the jackets didnt have a 44 in the backfield to give it to.)

 

6) And one cant miss Webbs class when it comes to discipling a player that has made a mistake. Numerous times he was in the face of players embarassing them in front of their teammates, fans, opponents, and visiting fans. In fact he has done it all year! Nothing like having your coach running out on the field pointing his finger in your face and yelling at you at the top of his lungs all the way to the sideline to make you play better. The players know they screwed up and having your coach calling attention to it in front of several thousand people really helps. NOT!! At least 3, maybe 4 times last night he did that and has done it all year. There is difference between correcting mistakes and embarassing a player! What a great motivator! If a coach can't keep his cool under pressure and in tight situations how can he expect a teenager to that is playing in the heat of battle and runs a wrong route or lines up wrong or whatever? What kind of example is he setting for these young men? Al McGuire, the great basketball coach. once remarked "players are an extension of the coaches personality, which means in my case, my teams must have been obnoxious". If the coach cant keep his cool under fire, then why should he expect the players to?

 

These are not new things. They have gone on for years. Tiger fans should stop their whining in the stands and on these boards. You get what you ask for. The rest of the region and Kingston fans as well, thank you for allowing them to win each year by giving them W's where normally they should have gone home with L's.

 

 

 

1. Moriarity has to play wing due to lack of skill people. Would be a good lineman, but lack of skill people dictates he play wing. Stats after three games prove he can play wing. Peddicord moved also because of lack of skill people, plus more ways to get the ball in his hands than at tight end.

 

2. Work guess that they work on fundamentals every day at practice. Is a simple game, but up to players to execute.

 

3. Have spread out this year to take pressure off Allen and open up offense with Breazeale at QB as two year starter. Been pretty successful past two games before Kingston.

 

4. Would guess the rollouts are to take pressure off the line which starts two soph. tackles. Again passing game has been successful up to Kingston game. Best skill people are catching the ball (Moriarity, Dyer, Roberts).

 

5. Spread looks good with good players at the skill positions. CAK had division one AA QB (Harb / Western Carolina) at helm with good skill people. Harriman had Goins (TN Tech) at QB with some of the better skill people in the area running around. Those two offenses had success against a lot of people, not just Rockwood. May hurt the feelings of players at Rockwood, but those two schools had better skill players last year.

 

6. Coach Webb is like any other coach in America. You remember him getting on players during the game, but I'm sure he encouraged some also. Got onto Breazeale for gesture at end of game not interception. Other instances that you refer to, do not know about. But if player dosen't want to be chewed out, don't play.

 

Don't know Coach Webb's record, but I'm sure that it is up towards the top. Know he has won more than he has lost. When the talent has been there, team has been successful. No talent, bad record. This team has some talent but not as much in past years. Lack of speed definite hindrance. But team has chance to make playoffs and compete. Glass is half full, not half empty. Season is still early with a lot to be decided. So focus on the good and get off the negativity. Team is 3-1, 1-0 in region. Not 0-4, 0-1.

I dont condone what was done by #1 but was i the only that heard kington student section chanting bullsh**?

 

 

Stuff like that can be heard from pretty much any school with a solid student section. They're high school kids. Let them have their fun. O, and both the times I heard them chant that, it was deserved...

I believe you would be hard pressed to find a student section that does not yell out obsenities so lets not act like Kingston's is so terrible. And besides, their's student sections who have done much worse than that...

yeah maybe certain people in the student section, but not as a whole group. but as long as someone is doing something worse, hey its ok with me. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> pause. sarcasm. but anyway moving on to next week. rockwood must put this loss behind them and kingston cant get the big head. both must stay humble and take it one day at a time.

I am a Rockwood fan and have been to every Rockwood game in the last 16 years.. never have i heard from rockwood's student section or any other student section act the way kingston's did friday night.. It's scummy and pathetic.. Kingston has no class and has always thought they were better than everyone else.. And from what i heard they were yelling racial remarks towards the rockwood's player (21) preston harvest.. The Roane County super intendent or kingston principal should take care of that in a hard way.. Very low on Kingston's part..
