Well put Cap..and I would have to agree with your selection with no disrespect to Mason, because he is a great athlete and he would be an outstanding target as a TE or a wide out for that matter..but no matter it would be nice to see both on the field at the same time in some aspect. JMO

 

after tonights game.. I am doing a complete 180 on my opinion on the QB spot..just hope the coaches agree so we can get some continuity on this team.

After tonight I would have to agree??¦although I do think that Mason can contribute in other areas. Bottom line IMO, either could do better than both??¦if you know what I mean!

I have to add that although it seems to be sufficient by the end of the game??¦this play calling is driving me nuts!!! It seems as if the play calling is geared more to wearing our opponent down instead of taking control of the game early. We don??™t look for the big play unless it??™s absolutely necessary. It??™s worked for us so far but it??™s way to conservative for my taste. Of course if I were calling the plays we probably wouldn??™t need a punter. Fourth and twelve...go for it!! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> So I??™m probably not the best one to judge this tactic. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I have a strong response to your post A269…but for the sake of not being a distraction I will wait till after the game. BUT….I will say that your “JUNIOR classification” argument is WEAK to say the least! What ever happened to the good-ol-days when the best man wins!!!? With that said….lets go kick some Bearcat tail!!!!!

 

Gee….I hope it stops raining for the game.

 

Actually cap it has been S.O.P. to let the more senior player start at THS since Powers, Keller, Crop, Dotson, and Hundley except when there is a decided edge. Also, Canty stepped into the West game early in the 1st series and continued the drive into the red zone when the qb got speared in the side of the head proving he could step into a bad situation in a huge game. He also led them on at least 3 more trips to the red zone and a few mini drives. The other qb has no such feathers in his cap. Flash forward to this season and Canty is at the helm for 80 or 90% of the offense generated in the DB game despite alternating on every series. At that point scoring a point for senority and time in the system, a point for proven leadership in a big game, and a point for actual offense generated and it's 3 to nothing or on a ten point must system it's 30 to 5 or so. Taylor may have potential but he would have to have that decided edge in a game. Canty should have taken most of the practice snaps after the DB game as he won the job in that game. If there still was doubt, the 1st series of the east game with Canty and a good drive and the 2nd drive with 3 procedure penalties in a row to begin should have sealed it at that point. Taylor simply isn't ready yet despite his potential. Last night was the same. We did not comment on this [at first] because we did not want to add controversey and there still is a disclaimer because the coach may have talked to them and may be trying to get the younger qb game ready with a plan to use Canty in a receiver position. Time is getting critical though.

well... what sealed the deal for me was (the jitterbug feet in the pocket and the questionable choices with the ball and lack of accuracy) 90% of the time there was no rush to speak of. Just plain and simple Mason just has a cooler head under pressure. granted he is a little more experenced , but not by alot.

Don,t get this wrong I am not slamming Taylor by any means, he just needs a little more seasoning. Everything just seems to flow better with Mason, the timing of the offence is better, I mean anytime you have two diffrent cadence there are going to be more penaltys it can,t be helped... well mabye it can ,but never the less the get my meaning. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

And Cap... yes the the play calling..well you and I both know Stubbs ball is all about field position and Defence....like it or not it seems to work 90% time. But like you I believe this team could or should be a quick strike Offence if wanted. Time will tell... im just glad it was the bearcats and not south or the Hill we were playing last night that would have been ugly /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

That's what we mean by offense generated and a whole lot more. Many variables go into offense generated and Canty is getting it and the other is not. Still Coach may have some secret plans. He might even disguise some defenses and go tight man here and there. There has been receivers in the past that have hurt us with their height. Would like to see some well executed last second all-out blitzes and tough, tight man coverage here and there against certain qbs and receivers. Who knows?

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
