Did we have the scrimmage or not? I’m out of town. 

They did, but it was hard to tell what was what. The team and the talent was split 2 ways.  The format was 10 plays per series.  I only saw the last 30 min of the scrimmage, so I missed most of the scrimmage.  From what I did see, we still have some holes to fill on defense, especially at linebacker.  I thought the lines played well even though most of them are young.  Best depth there since Gaddis has been here.

I did not see anyone kicking. I only saw Booker and RJ at QB and both of them had their moments.  I understand Gibbons had a good outing.

Thanks. I talked to a friend who was there. He also Gibbons did good and a small receiver looked real good. He said Booker looked great running but could improve on passing. He agreed that with things split up, it was had to tell exactly what we have. He said there was lightning soon after they stopped, so they were lucky to get it in. I’m worried about the lines but excited about the season.

There's enough talent and coaching on our side to make it to the playoffs again this year. Very good speed and a couple of the real fast guys still running track. #22 (red) looked real good catching the ball. #3 or #24 the aforementioned receiver will be fun to watch. More size more toughness upfront.  Just a real lackluster format.

I thought the team looked pretty good.  Herbert is a very dynamic runner with the ball when he keeps.  He will cause alot of problems for defenses.  Can take a broken play to the house at anytime.  Had an 80 yarder on a broken play yesterday.  I thought he threw the ball pretty well.  He was 3-5 with one drop and one long touchdown pass and no int's.   No injuries was a great thing.  Scrimmage only lasted 1 hr.

 

SI did I see last year's #23 down there roaming the sidelines?

Yes you did!  He is still healing up from surgery, but doing well.

I think we have a great group that will go deep in the playoffs.

I am less worried about the line, especially on defense.  I am more concerned about the kicking game. A lot to replace there.

Do you have names with those numbers or did you just use numbers because you don’t know the names?  I have no idea who they would be by those numbers since all three numbers graduated

I’m worried more about the O line than than the D line, but I have no clue who will replace the big nose guard and the all state end. You’re right about the kicking game....no idea about that

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
