I feel like oneida shot theirselves in the foot tonight. Meigs scored off the turnovers which is really the difference in the game. 

One thing that bothers me is late in the fourth we are down a few scores and we bring the punt team in on 4th down. We have nothing to loose at that point so why surrender. 

My opinion after watching tonight's game (which doesn't matter)  Is oneidas play calling was horrible. You look around our region and the teams that are going deep in the playoffs PASS the football and actually keep defenses on their toes. I know that TL is smash mouth football which is fine butttt in today's game you have to spread it out. Teams are getting better and better and oneidas coaching staff is falling behind. 

We never put a emphasis on the passing game. if you don't do it in practice you can't expect to be successful at passing the ball in the game. 

Teams beg Oneida to throw the ball. Constantly have 8-9 guys in the box. We have to be the easiest team in the state to scout.

Being one deminsional is hard to pull off nowadays. Especially a running team because of how they have took a little bit of the physicality out of the game!

Should have been far worse, to big pass plays called back on bad calls, big run plays called back for holding on the other side of the field, I think Oneida had one penalty for 5 yards, Oneida has some big kids and they play hard but the offense is so one dimensional you will have turnovers because good defenses will stand the runner up and strip the ball when you know what's coming every time.

I disagree. Oneida's best shot at winning this game was to play keep away, just didn't work out for them. Meigs had a lot of penalties and missed opportunities or they would've scored more.

We did not keep the ball away from Meigs. Missed oppurtunites and penalties (could of would of should of) that's football. 

My point is oneida is one dimensional.  

We know. But had the “one-dimensional” offense not have turned the ball over, it probably would have resulted in Oneida possessing the ball longer with all the short yardage runs. Thus, playing keep-away, which is probably their best shot to win. Missed opportunities and penalties are definitely part of football, but hey so are turnovers.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
