The problem with this statistic is that it is so subjective. Unlike offensive stats, when a defensive player is given credit for a tackle in a group, it becomes a matter of who is scoring the data and how the data is measured. For instance, when I score a tackle, I slow the video down and watch each play several times. I credit a tackle to only those who earn a solo tackle (1-T) and an assist (1-A = 1/2-T) to any two players who I think "made the play." Each "assist" equals a half tackle so for every two assists a player is given credit for one tackle. I have worked in programs at other schools where scoring data was done differently. I remember a few years ago going to an all region banquet and a coach got up and said his leading tackler had almost 200 tackles. All of the coaches looked at each other and almost broke out laughing because he didn't make any tackles in our game. These numbers are very subjective and are important to the players, but not of much value in the big scope of things.

    • Honestly the A.D. may be powerless at Maryville to some degree versus other schools. I know he has his hands full with GoFan and all the stupid surprises just from the emails he sends out during the season.
    • Harriman was better than what I anticipated. They had good skill guys and a QB that’s gonna make a lot of teams look silly. They had some silly pre snap penalties but it’s just spring and I guess that’s expected.    Oneida looks the part. They are big upfront and got a stable of backs that’s gonna carry them this year. They have a few playmakers at receiver also. They have a new receiver that has only played basketball till this year and he is very athletic. The question is can we find a QB to consistently get them the ball. They played 2-3 kids there and none looked great but they didn’t look awful either. The  defense is gonna be tough again but it’s very early and a lot can change between now and the fall.     It was good just to get out and watch some ball. I don’t know if Oneida has the team to win the region this year but just what I saw tonight I think they may be in the conversation come November.
