Will be interesting to see what happens. If by week 6 they have 2 losses, you can kiss the playoffs good bye.

 

Having all of the scoring threats back should help out alot.... atleast we don't play Ooltewah? The one team that seems to be able to stop our run game every time we play them.

They have been capable for the last 3 years. I think that is what many people have complaints about. They have the teams to do it, but when they get in the playoffs they end up back home watching the championship games on tv. We need Ken Sparks back.

 

ANYONE would benefit from having Coach Sparks. You have to be able to RUN the football (and play defense of course) to win championships. Coach Sparks has lived by that philosophy his entire career. He is also a very fine man.

 

He also believes in mobility at quarterback. Having to defend all 11 players makes an offense that much more difficult to stop, plus it promotes a big play play-action passing game. I have to admit, I miss the veer at Farragut. Nobody really stopped it for nearly 20 years (give or take a couple of I-formation teams). However I definitely prefer the the spread, which incorporates some veer components, to some of the other stuff FHS has used in the past.

I would love to see Hudson and Purty in a veer backfield. The wide line splits might also help their young OL. Unfortunately Farragut doesn't have the running QB to fully utilize the veer, as a matter of fact Farragut can't utilize him in the spread running game either. What they do have is plenty of WR's to really put pressure on the outside. I hope they can use Van Dyne in the short passing game, and not just to stretch the field. Having so many offensive threats makes calling plays so much easier. The other side of the ball is where most of Farragut's questions will have to be answered. Losing 4 of the 5 starting LB's has got to hurt, plus only 1 of 3 returning on the DL makes this Spring huge for finding replacements.

I agree. I didn't mean to imply Farragut would be better in the veer with current personnel. I do think they have had some teams that would have been better suited to the veer than, well, the staggered I. I just miss those wide splits, backs 1 1/2 off the line, dive, lead veer, and toss sweep.

 

I think of the Ooltewah game in '07 (and Armanti Edwards at Appalachian State) when I think of the spread running attack. Martland torched them off the QB keep on the zone read. That threat opened up Sterling as well. Nice to be able to attack that C gap with the QB. Like you intimated however, Browning certainly has the skill and receivers to do that in a different way.

 

Encarnacion will be tough to replace. He was one of the better open-field tacklers I have seen at Farragut, or anywhere else for that matter.

2009 FHS schedule 2009 Farragut Schedule

Week 0: Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett

Week 1: @Oak Ridge

Week2: Knox Catholic

Week 3: Open

Week 4: @Knox West

Week 5: @Riverdale

Week 6: Heritage

Week 7: @Bearden

Week 8: Maryville

Week 9: @Lenior City

Week 10: William Blount

 

Great Job by Coach Courtney to put together such a tough schedule. I am a little concerned it might be too tough for the Admirals to make a playoff run. But we will see Reese and Van Dyne will be back which helps the offense out alot. Defense is still a ?

 

 

My prediction 7-3? with a couple of too close to call games. Catholic, Maryville, @Bearden, Kingsport, @Riverdale

/roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> Basically half our schedule is too close to call.

 

Your Predictions?

 

 

Farragut has a tuff schedule but i think they will be a championship team.

I actually think Farraguts D line will be in good shape 2 out of 4 are returning (they rotated in defensive ends) and 3rd kid saw some playing time as well last year so there is a solid 3 that the coaches should already be sure about as starters. At linebacker they did lose 4 out of 5 starters but there were two others who were juniors last year who saw some good playing time and should be able to settle in no problem. So really id say they are looking for 1 or 2 more D lineman and 2 or 3 linebackers. Trust me finding out who is going to play on the O line is much more important right now for farragut.....and finding an O line coach for that matter

Tough schedule...but they were a little afraid to reschedule Ooltewah. I'm sure their quarterback didn't want to see that defensive end in his face all night like he did twice last year.

 

Now that I think about it, I don't blame Coach Courtney for avoiding the Owls and letting his QB get slammed in the turf all night.

I really don't think the coach thinks this. The new region changed everything. We added Riverdale and DB pretty good teams with good football programs.

      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.
