Stacy Carter is drooling.

Stacy probably thinks he is snake bit after last years try against DB.To have a glaring weakness in an area that finds our best athletes,may not be such a bad thing at this point.Don't get me wrong,every game is major in terms of seedings come playoff time.Every man on these boards has a pretty good ideal of what needs to be done in order for DB to advance out of east Tennessee and zero weaknesses will be our goal over the next month.

I predict that DB vs SH will be the game of the year. More size and matching athleticism is going to be a huge test for DB.

I do not think the South/DB game bears great consequense on this game except for the fact that it bears great consequense. DB was not ready for a South team that came ready to play. South is minus 3 key players at this moment. They will play at their current level of competitiveness for the remainder of the season. The Vikings, on paper, is a better team than South. DB, on paper is probably better than both South and Bristol put together. But, as has been shown, they have weaknesses. This is an advantage for the Vikings. That is to have witnessed those weaknesses exposed by South. To date, as I have witnessed, Stubbs has not sufficiently utilised Downs...either on D or O. Just as South has not benefitted from the expertise of Garvin. Because of the lack of use of Downs the Vikings, and in particular their QB, will not be able to rely on his abilities. He did not play much last season and has little experience catching the ball this season. The forward pass takes much time (parctice) to succeed...and practice under duress I might add. Just as Stacy Carter rode Curt, and the Dr., Stubbs will ride his run, first, second, third, and pass as a last resort offense into oblivion. The most important factor for the Vikings is to control Seabolt. He is ultra quick with his ball handling ability and makes last second decisions with the best I have seen. His passing game is fine. Not great...but fine. The kicking game will be crutial and the Vikings have one. This will be a coaching game and if Stubbs is Stubborn then the Vikings will fall. If he shows his once in a blue moon rocket science ability then the Vikings have a chance. The Vikings QB will not fare as well as Hayden with the Indian's blitz. And therefore will see it more and more. This will either be Bristols death knell or their trump card. Had Hayden had more time he would have destroyed DB's secondary. Clark/Watson knew this going in. Stubbs will not throw the deep ball. Even though South proved it could be done. Stubbs could not have asked for a better scouting report than South has given them. And DB could not have asked for a better management consultation than what they got from South. DB will play with afterburners glowing red from the first kickoff. The Vikings better strap it on for this is their judgement day. The team with the most toys wins.

Ever game DB plays is the game of the year in terms of attention. You people can't get us out of your head.

 

.....you know what, I'd have a SA remark if it weren't true. You are right, DB is the game of the year because that is the toughest team in the conference. You could go 1-9 but if you beat DB that one game...you had a good year.

 

I'd like to see a game of it, but I just think DB has too many guns for TN High, especially after the GVille game.

    • 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.
