Jo Byrns Vs. The Bye Week

Recommended Posts

A much needed bye week is ahead for the Devils. Is it possible that the Tank can make it back for the playoffs or is that a pipe dream? Are we dead in the water this year? Is it possible that we'll be better by this time next year than we are this year...that sounds crazy but just think about it for a moment...? How far do you think we'll make it in the playoffs? Do we win the District (i.e. is a healthy CA better than an injured JB).

 

A lot of things to discuss so let's get it started.

I think any team can win on any friday night, and as far as the injured jb team goes, the players that are playing are just gonna have to play. Who cares who is playing, the team just has to get it done regardless and forget about everything else. JB needs to find a way to get energized and play to the ability that this team can play.

Yal would have to be way down from what you usually are for CA to be better in my opinion. Not meaning to beat CA up just saying JB is usually hard to handle. All the injuries could help even the field some but JB is better IMO

Moto, what kind of mess is this? You dont usually make a website when your team isnt playing anyone. I did not make my team a website when they were in week 0 because they did not play anyone then.

Roy, I have found something better than fudge rounds. They're called German chocolate cookie rings. You should try them, you might just give up the fudge rounds. :hungry: You think I'm joking but I'm not!

JB has been very fortunate over the last few years where injuries have not been an issue,,, now comes the 2011 season with big expectations, 4 of the front 5 returning, 2lb returning, and a very tallented DB crew returning and potentially the best O that's ever been on the field at JB.... Myself and many more have no clue to what has happened this year... The injury bug has really hit us as of late....even without those existing injuries the physical and aggressive style of play has pretty much vacated the Dungeon with the exception of the heritage game,,, that game was filled with intensity and emotion and haven't seen it since then,, again many have questioned to what has happend and the only explanation I can come up with is, you never know what you're gunna get on any given night with teenagers,,,, the potential is there to make a run in the playoffs as we have come accoustomed to but seems the fire and desire to be the best has somewhat vacated the Dungeon this year.... Being physical is the main ingredient to JB football.... I have no clue what's happened !!!! I still support my JB boys but there won't be a thanksgiving day practice this year unless the boys decide to get with it in a big way

    • 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. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
