Like I said in my earlier post, the Haven always plays a full 48 minute game with never a second of 'give up'.  You forget that and they WILL beat you.

I'll be calling this game tomorrow night on 93.9 FM and have a ton of respect for both of these Coaching staffs.   Some of you folks saying that Oakland's staff will "out coach" Whitehaven don't know

I think 2016 defense was better due to having better DLine play

Also the most points that the 2016 D gave up was 20 and that was in like week 3.

The 2016 defense was ridiculously good

Gotta tackle with shoulder pads.   Only way they are not gonna call it in any league.   Can't be trying to knock receivers head off if the ball beats defender to the receiver.   At that point your just trying to tackle the player.   

Well in the case of the first incident our player did that. The receiver balled up and our player was called for targeting. 

Seems to me you are just going to have to go low on the receiver. Cause if you tackle with your shoulder pads and they duck ... It's helmet to helmet. To avoid that you are going to have to go for the mid-section or below to avoid the targeting call. I don't see any other way around it.

When I played safety , way back when, if you were a receiver and in my territory you were a target thats the way the game is played. It sounds like your safety was just doing his job. 

Well that's the way the game use to be played. It's not Like that anymore, from what we've been exposed to at WH. A defenseless receiver can not have the 'boom' lowered upon him like in times past because frankly, that's what happened in each case. They were severe hits. Jolting even. Flags will fly.

1.) Good question. First let me say that WH currently has two players on this year's defense that played in that game in 2016. One is LB Bryson Eason and the other is CB Joshua Gray. Both are key contributers on this year's team. If you would have asked me that question earlier in the season, I would have told you a flat out NO. But, I've watched this defense grow and matriculate throughout the season. The defense we have now, at the end of this season is in the same ball park as the 2016 team. With all of our guys healthy and in place along with the subs and special defense players in place, I feel like this defense is just as good. However, they are different in composition. Both are difficult to run against. Both are big and athletic. However, the D-line was better on the 2016 team. The LB Corp is better on this team, even with a Mr. Football winning LB on the 2016 team, this year's LB Corp is supremely better. In fact, I believe that WH has the best LB Corp in the state, bar none. They are freaking beasts!

Let me add that our defense has currently accounted for 18 INTs this season. 11 in the regular season and 7 in the post season. The WH pass defense is pretty strong as well.

I hope that answers your question.

Should be some ballhawks roaming around on both defenses all night then. We have 19 interceptions this season, 3 last Friday. We also have 14 fumble recoveries. 33 takeaways, defensively, thrown 3 interceptions, and 3 lost fumbles all season. +27 in turnovers Athletes all over the field Thursday night! Gonna be fun!!

Ballhawks galore. Ours are spread out amount 7 or 8 guys, I'm not sure off the top of my head. Something like 2 LBs and the rest are DBs. For some reason I've been keeping up with that particular stat. I have no clue on the number of fumbles recovered. I think we've thrown 5 INTs on the season, if that. I'm not sure about the exact #  but it isn't a lot, especially compared to the number of TD passes thrown. On the regular season WH had completed 24 TD passes. I'm not sure how many in the post season ... Perhaps 10 I think. I'll check to see how accurate that number is though.

      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.
