Don't know what game you seen Greenback play, but the Seymour kid is fast and as slippery as I have seen. I won't tell you that he is faster than SP RB, but from what I saw Friday night, Gville don't have anyone that can catch him, he is not big but he is quick. Greenback is not big, but they are quicker at every position than the big, slow Gville team I saw play Friday night. And they are much better conditioned.

 

The difference is that SP was trying to get everything to the edges, Greenback will get in shotgun and spread Gville out and give it to Seymour on quick hitters and he will have a field day with those slow lineman and linebackers. Then when they sell out to stop the run, Greenback has the ability to get the pass in there behind the backers. As poorly conditioned as Gville looked in the second half Friday night, their tongues will be hanging out after chasing the Seymour kid for three quarters. Greenback may have had the best conditioned team that I saw play all year.

first of all you have no idea how gville conditions. and two greenback doesnt have the size of gville and they are not as quick as demetric johnson. so buddy you better watch what you say until the fat lady sings.

jake who else have you seen besides greenback

 

Bearden, Farragut, Maryville, Powell, Alcoa, CAK, Catholic, William Blount, Greenback, Oak Ridge, Jefferson County, Sevier County, Knox West, Knox Central, Webb, Cleveland, and I can't remember the ones that have aired on tv. We have one aired every Thursday night, but I am usually on a practice field and don't get to watch it all.

I doesn't matter to me how they condition, the team I saw play Friday night was gassed by the end of the third. That is why, I normally would have agreed with the coach going for the 2 point conversion and the win, but I would not have made that decision after I had just drove the football 99 yards for a TD, there is no way Gville could have stopped them in OT.

 

On the conditioning, I have not been keeping up with all of your games, but more than likely, what has happened is your team has won a lot of blowout games and the starters have not had to play a full four quarter game in a while, and then when they had to play a full four quarters, they were gassed.

The last 4 quarter game that Gville had played was Oct. 5. Before that, it was week 2. That's why they seemed gassed.

That's also why Eagleville will be unfortunate, because I think they see the starters for at least 3 quarters, and it won't be because it's close.

 

You said you expected alot out of Coen, and he had 12 tackles from the DT position, and you're not impressed. Oh well.

I also like our chances against Greenback. There have been some battles between these two teams in the past.

We've did well against spread teams with better athletes, so we'll see.

 

As far as Gville should've got beat. SP didn't really drive the ball all night until that last drive when one of our starting LB's were out the whole series. He got hurt during the offensive series before. Had he been able to stay in I think we score there and they don't drive 99 yards.

However we got it done without him, but I don't think we'll have to when we play Greenback.

We were inside the 20 three times and didn't score because of mistakes, injuries, and good defensive play from SP.

SP was inside the 20 three times and scored twice.

Because SP had a chance at the end and couldn't get the 2 pt. conversion, people think they should've won, and they forget about the rest of the game.

Good luck to you guys. I am not a Greenback fan, so I don't have a dog in the fight, just giving an opinion based on what I have seen. I think Greenback's offense and the quickness of their O line is going to give you guys big problems, they don't run these long sweeping plays where most everyone knows where the ball is coming, they are in shotgun and RB can hit inside quick, or get to the edge in a hurry.

 

Your offense will probably move the ball, but if you guys can't hit a pass every now and then, you will struggle. Keep in mind that they could have, if not should have, beat what will probably be the 2A champion, Grace Christian. They held Grace to 13 points, so their defense is pretty good in itself.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
