Wrong.They changed offense from spread to option and went with better runner.Just glad NU dont think crazy like everybody else

So essentially they told a 13 game starter from last year that he's no longer good enough to lead this team. That's flipping crazy. I've watched this kid play and he's definitely the one who needs to be leading this team again this season. Edited by YellowBall

If u can stop the run .. DB might struggle !! I think the passing game will get a lot better through the season , QB has strong arm !!

On the Gaddis tv show tonight he praised the DB defense.Said the line was really good and the whole d is really aggressive.Also said DB had really good run game.Just hope Oak Ridge can hang in there and make a game of it.

Nu is just polite. It's the coaches that are crazy.

 

The offensive coaches have $h!+ the bed for three years now. It is interesting that this offensive change and QB change did help give a reason to play a kid whose father did play for Coach Gaddis & has a few friends on staff, rather than a kid that went 12-1 as a first year starter. It is also interesting that last year #81 didn't get many offensive snaps, while other kids with fathers that were friends of the coaches did.

 

Feel free to tell me that I have issues again or that I should take it up with the coaches. However, what you cannot do is say that anything posted in the second paragraph is untrue.

That means he probably thinks OR can run on DB.

I have been impressed all week at how DB fans seem to know what Coach Gaddis is doing and thinking. Some DB posters are sure that OR "went vanilla" against Clinton because DB's coachers were at the game. Folks, Clinton is a good team and in some  aspects of the game a very good team.

 

If I were to give a Poster of the Week award it would go to NU Cat. He has shown a steady command of the QB situation and remained focused on the team. No wonder Logan is such a good leader.

 

My gut says playing DB in Kingsport will be too much for the Cats to overcome but my heart says stick with the mighty Wildcats. So my pick for this week is: 

 

OAK RIDGE        27

Kingsport             24

I think it would have been silly to go vanilla against Clinton just to have a big surprise against DB.I don't buy that.Clinton might have had a better game plan or is just a good team .DB is no more important then Clinton as far as a win goes.If I had to lose one game or the other,I'd rather lose to a 6A team then a much closer Clinton team if I were OR.I think DB will be prepared as best they can this week on both sides.I know what I would do if I were OR on offense and DB has some very smart defensive coaches thinking the same thing.The big money says use those big wides and quick passes if your Oak Ridge but I think your coach seen something and is throwing a smoke screen.I think he will try and run straight at DB's run blitz to start with.Pop one up the middle like WB did against DB back in around 96 or 97 on a blitz.I can see a screen pass or two and some quick pitches as well.Myself,I would use the good throwing QB and put the ball where nobody but those big guys could catch it.If I'm a DB defender,I'd make every hit count so those guys get alligator arms and don't give a 100% on trying to go up for the ball.

ORTT - your 2nd paragraph could be said about many high schools, in fact a lot of DB fans complain about the same thing.         DB posters on here like Batman and Waco call this "Kingsport's good ole boy system".      I think it goes on at Boone to some degree too, perhaps even most high schools.    Ah the politics.......

This is some of the funniest %^$&* I've heard regarding the QB situation.  Straight from a coach - Dunbar was asked a long time ago to move back to QB due to the offensive change.  His dad had nothing to do with it and doesn't speak to Gaddis. You guys must not think too highly of Gaddis if you think he is playing the politics game - why not do this last year?  Do you not think the kid earned a chance after the scrimmages? 

If you want to talk about politics, how about #1 Miner. Why has no one brought that up or are his relatives on here?

You're probably right, on the other hand here is another possible interpretation from "The Princess Bride" poison scene:       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sPVEBAtwmg

 

Watch this and mentally create a metaphor where the poison is substituted for the OR/Clinton 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.
