Coaching has not held us back but experience has. Of course I don't agree with everything our coaches do but thats football. We had several kids with no varsity experience playing last year and that hurts. I dont know if your talking about Devon Swafford or Derick Steele but I will address both in my views. Devon Swafford was not ready for varsity play and thats just a fact. He did great on JV and thats were he needed to be to playing to get better. I don't feel he would have helped us much anyways with our O-line being down. Derick Steele can not catch a ball that can never reach him I dont care how fast he is. I know I will catch some heat for this but some of our starting players last year hurt us and should have never been on the field. Anything you say about a football team can be pointed at coaching so I will go ahead and say No thats not what I'm pointing at! The biggest thing that held us back last year in my opinion is inexperience (we should have went deeper in the line the year before but we didnt maybe because they were 10-0 and wasnt needed).

Also we had some players that should not have been out there and they killed us every game.

 

I meant Derick Steele

It looks like as I've said before that our strenths are the same on offense.I'm not sure what our strenth is on defense right now.When we come up against a real good passing team,I guess we can compar

I'll try and keep this civil Cap. I believe Clark was just keeping it close to the vest as much as he could last night. First night jitters, new offense, wet field, and a very strong Farragut team. I

Waco your slipping, your fellow tribe fan and I were talking about speed in the backfield not team speed. Please take the time to read the post before responding. Are you saying CS shouldn't start, Swafford maybe?

 

I really don't care what your talking about. Im talking about team speed. We have it this year and didn't last year. I don't know how long you've been smoking crack but you should lay the pipe down. I don't know how you get that what I said means CS shouldn't start. I've gotta' check the point totals, I think you just took over 1st place in the running for "Mo-Ron of the year"

We had some team speed last year but it was nothing like we have this year. Last year the speed could not be utilized efficienty. We had CS which is a power runner but he had the box stacked everyplay and our O-line was down. We had Sean and Derick but we could not utilize them if we can not get them the ball. Our passing game was not a strong point along with the other issues. Devon was not ready for varsity and he grew leaving him right were he was. We have several Juniors that have stepped up big this year. We have all the speed of last year combines with alot more speed this year. The big difference is I believe we will be able to execute all over the field, ground or air. We have pretty much stepped our game up all over the field. Waco, if you want you can school me now :thumb: .

I'm glad the boards have lite up LOL. Waco, you asked for the people to come alive and boy have they :shock: . I want to talk football. Different views are good with me even if I disagree. Thats why we are here to agree, disagree and support our teams. Now, Lets get it on :twisted: .

I would guess I went to more DB games than you did last year. You remind me of one of those fans that hide in the closet and post but have never seen a football field. You get my meaning?

 

You have no meaning. Your coming unglued. The more you post the more you tell on yourself. A disgruntled x-DB dad or player who didn't get on the field. You know Kingsport, DB, and DB players to well. Tighten up your loffers cause im going to lay a pancake block on you soon. Mo-Ron

I tell you guys about the difference on the offensive line from last year to this year after saying depth is a concern as it has been for a while.We have three of last years starters back and lost an all state center {Hanson}who is going to play college ball and a guard that was offered a scholarship and was very strong{Fuller}.Both were 260 plus pound players.Both were allso hurt or played hurt at some tough times.Depth was our biggest problem last year and I hope it is deeper this year,but we did have some good lineman as we do this year.

I am constantly amazed(but shouldn't be) at how quickly a thread with a reasonable premise deteriorates into a pissing and shouting match between supposed mature adults. All signs point to a much improved Tribe with greater team speed and depth. It's had to get a handle on the relative talent of any team in the preseason and limited number of scrimmages prior to Week 0. Looking forward to an exciting season of Indian football and a great game between two exceptional secondary schools when the Admirals travel up I81 to meet our Indians in our Teepee...Good Luck Farragut!!! Roll Tribe Roll!!!!! Roll Tribe Roll!!!!! 10-0 has to begin with 1-0.

I know man. I can't believe how inmature some adults can be. This is a very good post for a 1st timer :)

I am confused about one thing though. If your a DB fan, why would you wish Farragut good luck? I mean, I hope they fumble on every play. Thats what I would like to see. No offense Farragut fans.

      Bearden Bulldogs 2024

      By MissHawking · Posted

      I really don’t get your point. Yes, Bearden lost two superstars, that can’t be glanced over, but if you still look at their roster, they have star talent almost everywhere. I’m sure Jones was expecting to lose players. I mean, it’s been rumored since the days they both stepped into Bearden, but I mean, they still have star talent everywhere, receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive back, running back, not to mention they have two probably top 20 quarterbacks in 6A battling it out every day for the starting position. And knowing Jones, I’m sure there will be another star talent that lands in Bearden this off-season, which, based on hearing rumors, may already be there. I’m not too sure. But Chaz and Brody will definitely hurt, but I really doubt it will affect Bearden as much as you think. Maybe during the postseason going up against teams like Oakland, but I doubt during the regular season.

      The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a  state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.

      Dingleberry needs to educate herself on Clemer’s “resume” and why he has been dismissed at a few previous positions along with his love of milf and cookies before making her final decision on the matter I do believe. He would not coach my son just from the stuff outside of the X’s and O’s. Throw the football inadequacies in the mix and it just adds to the list of reasons also. Just a really bad deal given the list of coaches that applied from across the state and beyond there is no explanation whatsoever other than agendas why he was hired.

      Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.
