Look, I'm a rebel fan as well, but lets face the facts. The rebels are not at the level they have been in years past. Say what you want, but the offense has not been clicking this season. There may be a few good drives, but the rest of the time all I see is dropped and overthrown balls along with a run game that is very weak (understandably so, as the top 3 backs are out). I see flashes of greatness here and there, but it is definitely not consistent. The run game has improved quite a bit since the beginning of the season. Zak Steele in particular has been really good at opening things up and will run over anyone in his path, which has in turn helped Lane Hostettler break longer runs more often. However, if the problem of dropped and overthrown balls cannot be corrected, the offense is going to keep struggling throughout the year, as will the rest of the team as a result. The defense has been great, but keep in mind that they let Centennial score quite a few points, more than I can remember Centennial ever scoring on Franklin. Also, no shutouts for this year's rebel defense. I will give them props for getting the job done each week, even if the Centennial game was a little too close for comfort.

 

I'm a rebel through and through, but you can't overlook the problems they have had this year and act as if the team has been firing on all cylinders when, obviously, they have not. There is a great deal of potential in this years team, but they have yet to show they can play at the level they are capable of. Good luck to the rebels the rest of this season! Make this season one to remember!

 

 

Ok, since you throw out some facts the way you see it then let me throw out the real facts.

 

Defense 53 points scored against the Rebels so far. Well one was scored on our offense with a fumble picked up and another was scored on our third string. So that is 40 Big points scored on this not so good defense. In the Centennial game we missed some tackles and let them get a few big plays. Other than that it has been a DOMINANT Defense. One like I have not seen around here for a while. Ok, so back to some facts Mr. Pylon: That is less than 7 points a game this defense is giving up!! Oh, and yes they have had a shut out 45-0 to Hopkinsville. So, before you spout off make sure you got your facts straight.

 

Offense All I have been saying is we are getting better each week. yes we still drop too many balls but the Run game is getting better. Big Lane has rushed for over 100yds in the past two ball games. Is this not improvement? My only complaint is the front line blocking. If they would pick up the blitzes then Matt would be getting better passing stats also. He has looked bad because of bad blocking on stunts up front.

 

So with all this said, I still say as ugly as the games have been (and I might add that they are ugly because our DEFENSE also makes it ugly on the other guys), we are getting better and it will show come the end vs. Brentwood. Other than Brentwood, who could beat us? No one!! The Rebels are Rolling and I will continue to say so! See you tomorrow night and GO REBELS!

If you go back and read my post, you will see that I said that the defense has been great, I never said they were bad. I did say that they weren't as good as they could be, though. They have been great, but I don't see how you can say they have been one of the most dominant defenses in the area in recent times, even if the stats show for it. Like I said in my previous post, props to the defense for getting the job done week in and week out, even if the Centennial game was a little rough. If you read more, you will also see that I said that the run game IS, in fact, improving. All I was trying to say is that the team isn't as good as you make them out to be this year. Even if not as strong as years past, this years team is still solid. We have yet to play anyone really strong this year, so we will have to see how things play out the rest of this season. Hopefully the rebels can make some adjustments on offense and win out the rest of the season. Particularly the game on October 29th in Brentwood.

Answer me this why would you storm a field on your homecoming night when you beat a team 18-0? cough Indy cough. Its not just Indy i just think storming the feild now a day is way over done in the wrong times. Right times= vs. big rival, in OT/ close last second games, or playoff games. Not when you beat a team 18-0 when you should of beaten a lot more.

 

And i dont know why you guys are talking about the gam oct. 29th when they are both obviously going to play eachother again in week 3 of playoffs if you ask me.

Because it is the game we are all looking forward to right now. But I do agree it will be BHS vs. FHS in the third round.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
