How did you look against Columbia?  I plan to attend the Blackman scrimmage.

I was trying to be open since I have not seen what Watson could bring to the table as of yet.  Offensively was a little shaky breaking in a new QB but he showed spurts.  Passing needs some work be he has good foot speed. Briggs has played for 2 years on and off at running back and he has added weight and was running hard.  In fact all the backs ran hard.  Offensive line looked good as well.  Defensively.....let’s just say Chad Broadrick is a shot in the arm!!  They looked dominant!!  Not sure how good Columbia will be this year but they could not do anything against Gallatin.  I bet 1/3 of the plays were for 1 yard or less.  I was highly impressed with the defense.  Now Blackman is a different animal and it is still spring so who knows.  As of right now, Watson has Gallatin turning the corner on and off the field.  The discipline on the sidelines was evident.  We are all liking the progress!!!

May be down a little after graduating a large senior class but I think they’re right around the 65 mark. They had around 10 miss because of injury and probably 5 playing other sports. More than likely the reason it looked scarce lol

Looked a whole lot less than that by the pictures but yeah 65 is less than usual.

You had me curious so I just looked. They have 74 currently on the varsity roster. Will probably dwindle to mid 60s during summer workouts.

Did you see any of the pictures that were taken?  I do not doubt you because there are usually 74 or more but those pictures do not show that many.  Me and a couple of others were just wondering.

Broadrick was an excellent hire from East Robertson.   That team showed a lot of improvement under his leadership.   Coach Watson has put together an excellent staff.  I'm expecting big things there in the next couple of years.

Lots of changes have been made that is for sure.  Intensity level and excitement levels have risen.  This staff is basically young and hungry!  After seeing that scrimmage, my expectations are rising!  These kids are working hard and really competing with each other.  How good will they be come fall....I do not know?  I like where they are headed though.

I just want to see a step in the right direction is all. But I hope they surprise me and exceed my expectations by playing with a little chip on the shoulder. 

Go watch a practice.  Then tell me what you think.  This is a hard hitting team.  Nobody removed their helmet on the sidelines nor were they goofing off during the scrimmage.  Things are changing!!

    • 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.
