I'm going with Harriman in this one. Both teams want to do the same thing on offense, grind it out. If the refs don't get in the way, this one could be over by 8:30! Oneida needs to prove something this week. They may just do it. Until the coaching staff gets away from just trying to score 14 and hold the other team to 7, it will be tough getting thru the region and playoffs. Gotta be a better way guys. Again, no disrespect, just sharing an outside opinion.

Either way, great place to play and great small town tradition on both sides. For the record, I like Oneida more than I do Harriman (sorry blue).

Pride I will agree with you! Except I got the Indians winning. It scares me thinkin bout just scoring enough to get by and tryin to play D and win the game. Our D is good but it's gonna take some offense and points to win these next couple weeks!

I agree we have to find a way to score more points but as I've said over and over again this cannot be laid off on coaching. Let's look at it. We have made significant play calling changes in the running game to this point based on what simply didn't work earlier this year (both formations and specific play calling). Sure we still run some plays that really aren't major producers but with the wing T you have to run certain plays a couple times a game to keep the D honest for others. We are averaging passing 15-20 times per game even though we continue to see drops like crazy however that is getting better. Finally, maybe it's time we simply said it out loud, maybe we're not a great football team this year. Yes we have talent, yes we have great coaches, yes our defense is playing pretty well but we are not scoring much on anybody. Every team will have up and down years, maybe this is just a down year, can't be better than last year every season. Eventually gotta drop down a notch or two for a bit.

 

Pride I can assure you scoring 14 and playing defense is not by design lol.

Great post Crow! Hopefully our Indians will have a great week of practice and get a huge W Friday. These next 2 games are very critical.

I wasn't clear in my post. I left out part of what I was trying to say. So, here it is: It seems to me, as an outsider, that you guys have the athletes to score. Now, some of that responsibility has to lay on their shoulders to make plays (drops in the passing game). Some of its on the coaches too. It's an equal share. Bottom line is that plays have to be made when they are called. I'm just not a fan of trying to play defense to win a game. Gotta put points on the board or it will be an early November for the Indians.

    • 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.
