This game could very well be one by special teams and I seen greeneville first hand and they are good.Can the Fulton fans tell us what your special teams are like and if you think Fulton can win in the special teams battle against the devils.

From Friday night I can tell you that their kickoff and punt coverage is great and hard hitting. You will be able to return all their kickoffs but if you get past the 20 to 25 you are doing well. I don't know if I wouldn't just let them go into the end zone. Punts were generally high booming kicks that gave the coverage team time to get downfield. The PAT's were very weak so I'm not sure if they have a field goal threat at all. I asked for feedback on that earlier but no one responded.

Fulton's kicker consistently put the ball on the 10. Whether that was intential or an indication of his ability was not clear. However, the Rebels' picked the ball up at the same spot each kickoff. A dangerous place to let it bounce toward the endzone in hopes of a touchback. South never got past the 20.  

 

Fulton's bread and butter (against South) was the wide sweep. South lost thier first team CB at the beginning of the 3rd. Up to that point it was hit and miss for the sweep for Fulton. Late in the fourth they realized South's replacement was not as fast and began to exploit it.

 

South was in Fulton's backfield all evening forcing alternative decisions. As well, Fulton put major pressure on South's passing game by way of their rush.

 

The game changer was Fulton's sweep by their tailback once South lost their corner. This success for Fulton came late in the fourth.

Special teams are strong, but don't get to use them much. Last team to intentionally punt to the Falcons was in week 5 against Central. Everyone since then has been afraid to. So will the Devils punt to the falcons or will they be afraid they can't cover them. If Greeneville is confident, then I anticipate some exciting punt returns. If they are like everyone else... they are too afraid they cant cover them. Smack talk or not... that first punt will be revealing. I hope they man up and don't punt out of bounds.

    • 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.
