I am very suprised right now, Powell Put a hurtin on Fulton tonight!

 

Congrats PHS!

 

I wouldnt get too exited if you are a Powell fan ... Fulton starts 8 Sophs on defense and lost a Senior DL last Friday night to a knee injury ... Fulton very young an inexperienced ... Fulton has alot to learn as far as the young guys go ... they are thinking too much and not reacting ... Powell doesnt look very good on defense and will have to try to outscore teams ... the passing game they use is effective but they looked like they fumble alot .... Fulton is down this year .... and Powell will play more fundamentally sound teams that will run right at them .. Fulton ran the ball well right at Powell .. when Fulton has tried to work on passing game it has broken down ... either the QB (Soph) throwa high or the reciever runs wrong route ... again very young ... but as season goes on they will learn more and be able to react .... I heard some of the Powell players saying they they were going undefeated .... Id say 6-4 and Fulton about the same ..... I dont think either teams are very good ....

Undefeated is stretch, but I thought Powell showed a lot more aggression on defense tonight than they had in past scrimmages. Some of the linebackers, #42 and #15, looked pretty good. No. 8 is the biggest hitter on the team and I'm not so sure wouldn't make an outstanding linebacker. The defenive line played much better than what I have seen and I still believe that could be the team's strength on that side of the ball. Fulton isn't what they have been but I would say Coatney will have them playing pretty well come playoff time. A team that young will only get better as the season gets going. The turnovers could be problematic for Powell because you are right Tadvols, they fumbled way too much. I'll take the defensive improvement even against a young team like Fulton. I would still like the offensive line to get a little more aggressive as well. Sometimes the guys were in the right place to make blocks, but seemed like they would get beat...but I'll take a good showing against a program like Fulton any day. Good job Powell.

    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
