BCsportsfan Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Two scrimmages in the books. Offense has some serious fire power! They can score in a bunch of different ways! Defense is still not were they where last season. Still not a fan of the 3-4 @ high school level. I'd like to see this 4-3........ #86, #64, #98 , #44 on the line, #2 @ MLB.. ..#7 & #1 @ OLB! Also, the secondary is being picked on a little too much....yes Bradley had a real deal 6'-5" WR, but,.... got to get better! Defense wins championships! Up next, Coach Wheeler & Cleveland Blue Raiders! Edited August 9, 2019 by BCsportsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is Coach Nix will keep working the combinations and dial in a winner. Always does!

Kid has talent (they also Should run him more) he needs coaching. Especially in his decision making and progressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of that was Alcoas defense, QB will look much better against most teams they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCsportsfan Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 During the Special Team drills against Bradley, Zeke Rankin hit multiple 35+ yard field goals. The last two where 50 yards that may have been good from 55 yards. This will be big in some tight games this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Maryville and of course Milan in the title game, how many tight games do you anticipate having?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
