Well folks, today was the end of the scrimmages. Now it's time for the real fun to begin!!!! I will go ahead and give my opinion on todays scrimmage. I felt the defense did a whole lot better. They penatrated the line and got several sacks!!!! They just need to work on stopping the running game. To many passes being completed. O-line did good as well saw a few blocks missed but this will happen. They will be just fine. Our biggest problem I see is the qb position. I will state my opinion. Seabolt needs to stay at QB. He is much more consistant and a very quick thinker. His style is very close to Jamie Crawfords. The players seem to follow his pattern real well. I think Roop has a stronger arm but when weighing out what the team needs, Seabolt will benefit us more at QB than playing on the out. I know not all will agree but this is just my opinion and not meant to offend others.......ROLL TRIBE :motorbike:

I only saw the scrimmage last Friday... who did we scrimmage and did Roop start @ QB? How did he play? Sean S. played QB better than I expected against Knox Central. He is a very good scrambler, has really good field vision. He completed the short passes just fine, but I am concerned about his deep ball or down field passes. #32 ran well that night and the blocking was good at times and no so good at other times.

 

Looking forward to seeing all the teams in the Big 8 (5A/6A District 1) play in the Jamboree.

Maryville and Roop did start at QB. He made several mistakes and for some reason was not running some of the plays the coach was calling. We know this because GC hit the field in a tantram. Seabolt came in and did a seamless job as he did last week. His arm is not real strong. He threw a 40-45 yard pass down field and it looked like it was in slow motion. He needs to throw distance all week and work on that!!!! He is a great scrambler and thinker. He has a great view of the field and will not sit in that pocket. He will unload or get 5-10 yards just about everytime. I think it will benefit the team and we will get more out of seabolt at QB. Chris ran the ball great and had several nice holes compliments of the O-line. Noticed Corey Hall was playing alot more defense than normal and did a great job. Jason Michaels is looking really good this year, making some big plays. The scrimmage seemed short to me but over all it was a good practice for them. I think the score was 14-7 in favor of Maryville (might not be correct), but honestly it should have been more like 28-14 in favor of the Indians. We really did good we've gotta stop the turnovers!!!!!!!

Let's not jump ship just yet at QB. Remember, Roop just got over a concussion and did'nt practice for a whole week. No wonder the timing was off as well as execution. We need the threat of the deep ball and he gives us that. If we don't have a QB with the long pass teams are going to load the box on us and we won't be able to move the ball at all. Let's use common sense and let the Jamboree play out and week one will definately show what we need to improve on. After all, we need Seabolt at wideout. If Steele is the only threat, he's going to get double teamed to death. And we all know that no matter how good Chris is, we can't just rely on one person.

I'm ready to see the guys on the field thursday,I wished it was at J Fred and the band was cranking up as well.I seen the 9th graders work today and we have some good looking athletes coming up .They had some speed and a couple of boys I wouldn't want to feed.I like coach Williams and think he doe's a great job helping those players out.That scrimmage with the JV is allways a hard hitter.I remember Chris a couple years ago,wow!

I don't think 3 interceptions and 2 fumbles in let say 45 minutes is jumping ship!!! Seabolt can complete a 20-30 yard pass fine and I would take that all day long plus he has other great assets at qb. I'm not picking at Roop he's a great kid and he has a good arm but right now he is not getting it done. I know it's only a scrimmages but it's prep time. I'm sure Roop will remain starting qb and get it together but I'm also sure he knows he's gonna have to earn his keep now. He did not have a concussion from what his parents said it was more a precautionary thing, so no excuse for so many turnovers except maybe he's a little gun shy.

    • 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.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
