The major question in my mind going into this season is how with the QB situation shake out. Has Will Darby fully recovered from his knee injury last season, will he have the same mobility that allowed him to start at saftey. I know back in 04 we had a similar situation when Ben Pewitt tore up his knee playing safety and when he did come back he was solely a pocket QB. I know he hasn't had many opportunities at QB, but in the scrimmages he definitely showed some great potential as a passer and obviously he can run(thats if he's 100% back). McFall has some experience at QB, if Darby isn't the guy at QB I wonder whether we'd turn to McFall, it would definitely cause some matchup problems. And I think most know that I think David Simms should get a share of the load at RB, it would make for quite a three headed monster.

As far as I know McFall is the man at QB !

Okay, Darby is better than ever. He has put a lot of muscle on and is definitely one of the strongest guys on the team. His knee is stronger than before and he has gained a lot of speed. He proved it at a combine a few weeks ago. He also played corner last year just to correct that. The quarterback position is up for grabs. It looks to be down to Mcfall and Darby. Whoever does the best in preseason gets the spot. I have no doubt in Christian's capabilities and he will have no problem at qb if he is the man who gets it. As far as rb goes, there are a few more guys who have came in at rb but right now it looks to be Will Brooks at B back and Travis Tolliver at A back.

 

I am really excited and anxious about this season. The team as a whole has gotten so much stronger and faster. Things are lookin good for Jeff. Co. football.

Good for Darby !! Competition is a good thing. If Darby can beat McFall out at QB and put McFall back at RB, all the better, if Darby is as fast as it may seem.

JCTWP, what about the O-Linemen? Didn't JC lose the entire line to graduation?

That is true. The O-Line is gone. But the Coaches seem to think it will be just as good if not better this year. I would think so since last year's line was still used to the I. These guys have been in this system for a season so I am sure they are more used to it.

 

Darby may not be as quick as McFall but he has cut his 40 down a lot. No matter who gets the position, JC will be solid under center.

Obviously the QB choice will come down to what gives JC the best chance to win games. I wonder though, if we get down to the start of the season and neither has significantly separated themselves if the coaches will move McFall back to RB knowing the impact he can make there. Obviously Darby can play other positions, but will he be as good at safety or WR as McFall can be at RB. If we are able to run everything in the offense with Darby I don't see how we can't move McFall back to RB if McFall isn't clearly significantly better than Darby at QB. I don't think its a stretch to say that McFall is a better runner than Darby, but Darby is a better passer. The question is whether McFall is a good enough passer to do everything we want, or if Darby is a good enough runner to do everything we want.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By thegreatwhite1 · Posted

      Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.

      Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      If Heritage moves down and Alcoa moves up the best thing for Heritage is to do what William Blount did when theystopped playing Maryville or meet certain defeat. Honestly can't see Alcoa not moving up the way the county is growing. Might be in the Mountaineers best interest to stay in 5A because none of those teams on their schedule are anything close to Alcoa.
