Same 3 linebackers as last year. With the exception of the special package that was put in for Douglas, well until he was hurt. They are small. They are quick. And always seem to find the ball. LB's are just fine. As the safeties pick up experience this D will be just fine. People you are going to have to learn this is a different team. They are not going to avg 30-40 pts a game. The team will win and lose with Defense. Last time I checked as long as you score 1 more than the other team, you win. And scoring on this 1st team D is not going to be easy. Look for many close games, and most will have less than 20 points scored. Trust the coachs and the players to be ready each and every game.

one last thing forget the scrimages, do you think Coach wants to tip hand? The seanson starts Friday with Halls. That is the most important game. After that game they can deal with Alcoa because then it will be the most important game.

 

Good points and very good post. Scrimmages are so overrated in terms of exactly how a team is or isn't going to be and maybe moreso with Maryville than others. I can remember at the Oak Ridge scrimmage we had it on their ten, and Quarles wanted to work on other things so they flipped the field and started going the other way. Then all you hear including the knoxville paper the next day is how Oak Ridge whipped Maryville. This season is very similar to 2005 to me when Ryan Tallent was the ONLY starter returning on offense. And while we may not score 30-40 a game I think like the defense, the offense will also come around in time. It didn't take it long in 2005.

FBEmeritus -

 

- Halls won't get 50 yards in the air. Trust me, if they have to throw more than 5 times the game will get UGLY!! I just hope MARYVILLE does't gain 150 yards against our OFFENSE (that's what happens when we throw).

 

 

Halls last year when they had healthy receivers averaged only 73.4 yards on 10 attempts with about 5 completions. It's just not their game. Kitts pretty much carried the offense.

I agree with Ironman I can't see them getting themselves in a hole by losing yards to QB sacks and turning the ball over. I have to believe 90% run starting out until they get in the groove of every game. Anyway the running game looks that good this year.

ironman,

 

I hope your comments are "tongue in cheek", cause I'm here to tell you and the world, the Devils are going to beat Maryville at the Crossroads Friday night.

 

I love the enthusiasm. I hope Halls plays inspired football. It is the first home game. It is against a great team on an incredible streak. It will be a packed house.

 

However, Emotion only lasts a couple of series at most. Eventually, Execution and Endurance play bigger roles. (That is a lot of "E's".) Halls has a tough up hill fight.

just read the paper and it says that maryville qb aaron chamberlain is out for 3 weeks due to surgery. was he the starter going into the game or what? how will this affect maryville's offense?

 

Aaron Chamberlain was named the expected starter for the Rebels as per the Daily Times. He does throw the ball well and is very accurate .Mark is very capable of running the team. /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

1500-2000

maryville alcoa game last year was liek close to 5000

 

All I know, there was more than 5000 at that game last year and the years before that. I would say close to 8 or 9000. As to Halls and Maryville it should be a great turn out. Several thousand will show up for this one. Maryville is vulnerable this year. There defense should be great but the offense might sputter early. I guess we will see on Friday. Maryville will find away to win in the end. MARYVILLE 17 - HALLS 14

    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
    • Word is Jason Maxwell will be new AD - he is currently head baseball coach. Also heard Roc might be headed to Pope as an assistant coach.
    • you must not know how tssaa operates lol
