Mc loses two starters off of the defense. #21, and 9. Offensively, they lose qb, 21, lt, #12. Most of the line returns on both sides. Losing 21 and 1 is big but we should still be really good, especially on defense.

I thought you maybe lost a couple of linemen as well? Also 12 started against us on defense, but that was week 4 so maybe he isn't starting now. You're right though, Marion should be loaded overall again next season.

Yeah 12 started on d i think, at least some. If not he played a bunch. 68 starts at lt on offense, 76 is also a senior, he started to start the season.

Forrest losing the lineman will hurt them next year. No way they can be as physical next year.  Will have to learn to pass the ball some as they will not be able to run over everyone next year.

 

Forrest will be just fine next year up front. They were pretty much two deep with not much drop off at every spot. As far as physicality, you can't replace a Boone Sweeney, but the JV O-line was very physical from what I saw.

After seeing Saturday's final, Forrest has just a monumental climb to get to those team's level. It will take a commitment I'm honestly not quite sure the program is ready for. There just might be too much complacency to win Region 3 and win a playoff game. There's a reason Forrest has never advanced to the 3rd round. It takes a different level of commitment. Making an 85 on a test ain't that difficult. Making a 95 takes 10x the work. Might never happen.

What sort of a commitment are you talking about? From what I've seen, this coaching staff is as committed as any in the state. The players seem bought in as well. So I guess I'm curious as to what you are referring to?

    • 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.
    • 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.
