Anyways let's talk ball. What does oak ridge bring to the table in comparison to last year?. Is this about the same level team as last year or would you say they are a little stronger?

 

Key players to watch for besides Tee? I see McMinn switched to a wing-t this year. Having seen that does it prepare you better for Webb?

 

Are you guys looking past Webb for the showdown with Campbell County next week?

Hey Sparty.  We are mainly a 3 headed animal on offense, Tee, Graham, and qb Johnny Stewart.  Their are some other nice backs, but those guys touch it the most.  

 

McMinn did run the power wing T.  Not sure if its the same thing Webb does.  They basically had 4 plays that they ran to either side, sweep, lead, counter, and waggle (bootleg pass).  We couldn't stop it.  I think Webb may rely more on misdirection than straight power.  

 

No way we are looking past Webb after the whippin we took down at McMinn.  No way Gaddis lets that happen.  I would bet practicing for two weeks after a loss hasn't been a whole lotta fun, they should be ready to play.

Webb's is more misdirection and speed. I was hoping you'd be overlooking us to be honest. Some OR players have to be after last years embarrasment.

Just can't see that happening.  Gaddis hates to lose.  Like I said, our players have been stuck with him for the past two weeks with no game last week, and the only way to get the taste of that L out of their mouths is to go and get a win.  Webb and their speed have gotten plenty of attention in the Knoxville area.  Our kids know that this Webb team is much better and more dangerous than last year.

Key to OR Win: Ball control. Wear Webb down. Disciplined defense that limits bigs plays. Feature #5 as much as possible.

 

Key to Webb Win: Big Explosive plays from #15 #13 #8. Win the turnover battle. (Last year Webb fumbled 5 or 6 times. The game was over before it started.) Chew as much clock as possible to make game shorter.

We have very few guys going both ways, those that do go both ways are part of a rotation. Nobody is on the field all the time. That may help us. Another web site shows the Webb roster as having 32 players. Only 7 of which have lineman numbers. If that is accurate depth will be a major factor.

I think the roster is a little off. I think it may be closer to 40 but I'm not sure. It's hard to believe that just 6-7 years ago Webb always had around 60. I guess kids aren't as tough as they use to be...

    • 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.
