South Rebels-'09

[BTaylorMom]

Does that mean you miss me Waco?

well we have the best O line since 06 imo and 2 all state linebackers and a good amount of experienced players at about every position on both sides of the ball....south's 2 biggest problems are our DB's and the chemistry with the QB and WR which i'm sure stacy and jerry will have them ready to go by week 0

 

and our running game should be really strong this year

 

how much bigger has sheppard got over the off season?

 

Not sure about how much bigger, but he's smoking when he turns on the jets. Speed has increased if that was possible.

How did South do in their 7 on 7 ?

Second Hand: Much better than yesterday, which is a relief. East and Central similar in speed, skill, etc.

 

South looked a little more polished than those two.

 

To reach the lofty heights, they need to be a LOT more polished.

how did both the QB's look?

Confirmation of what I and others have posted here. Heath throws a better looking ball. I also hear he is the better runner/scrambler.

 

The St. looks the part. His field presence and Heath's fragility will keep him the #1 man.

 

I'm betting St. takes the first Week 0 snap, but the real O leader will not be decided by then.

I think the worst part of this is the WR's. Worst case scenario is they won't mesh with either QB for trying to mesh with both...and each having different approaches will constantly confuse the WR's. I said early that Stacy would use both but I see now that that will not be a good thing. It's still early. Bradley didn't really come together until Science Hill. That's why Taylor had 29 carries. If you remember, the next week Bradley put on a show. You have to have faith that Stacy will pull it together and it will work. The fall scrimmages will tell a tale.

Does anyone have info on South's scrimmages (who, when, where) ?

Scrimmages: At Volunteer on 8/7, and at home vs Knox Powell on 8/11.

 

Re: QB discussion----Haden has high ankle sprain and is not in pads at this time. St. will be the starter.

[Boonie]

Last I heard Volunteer is at Greeneville 8/7. It could have changed I guess, stranger things have happened.

South's pigskinparents site lists @ Elizabethton on Aug. 07. I believe that is correct.

I spoke to a young fast WR's Father today and he says that with Heath being gone that our WR's are fast enough to break a fly pattern at any given moment but that we can't get the ball to them. He says they have to come back for the ball. I haven't seen it so I don't know. I do know one thing...the St. knows Stacy's O as well as Curt. And he has the processor to make split second decisions. And I thoroughly believe in him. But can somebody please help him correct what he is doing wrong when he throws the ball. I was no QB so I don't understand the mechanics. He gets that corrected...we are in the drivers seat.
