Mr. Football Semifinalists Announced

Well there is West TN sports writers for us! No East players had a chance. Josh Silvey of GB had the numbers and I guarantee you if you ask anybody that played him or has seen him play are scratching their head right now. I would put money on him beating the 2 Westies that made the cut! I don't care where they are going to college. Just ask somebody that was a part of his 33 tackles for loss or 15 sacks how he punishes people. No love for a kid from the East!

To be honest, Silvey didn't dominate Region 2-A this season. He got more attention by his dirty play. I wasn't shocked that he wasn't a finalist. He is a good player, but not one of the best in the state. Too many times this season (mostly film I've watched and the time I seen him play in person) he got washed out of a play. He is a very explosive defensive player with very good athletic ability for his size, but he is not a dominator that can control the line of scrimmage. The Stewart kid from Coalfield that the Greenback fans have been hating on, was a player that controlled the line of scrimmage on defense and teams had to game plan for him. No comparison, Stewart is head and shoulders better than the Silvey kid. IMHO.

We must have s different opinion of dominance. I rarely saw out of Stewart what I have seen all year from Silvey. There was another linemen from Coalfield who was much more effective on GB than Stewart was. His # may have been 59 or 79. He gave the lineman much more of a problem than Stewart. It's the mean streak down Silvey that gives him the edge and the speed. Stewart is an O lineman in college too slow for D. Just IMHO

Silvey probably has a meaner streak than Stewart (hence the stomping on heads, the cheap shots and dirty play). Silvey is faster. But, like I said, teams had to scheme against Stewart on defense. Silvey gets washed out of too many plays (a combination of technique and too aggressive). Stewart is going to be an offensive lineman in the SEC. I'm not sure that Silvey will play anything above Division III as a small defensive lineman.

    • 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.
