Yeah, he had a great game. I'd just like to see him in the backfield more. It just gives him more opportunities to touch the ball in my opinion. But he&*, what do I know? I'm just a fan on a HS message board ha. This is what us fans do. We think we have all the answers, when really we don't know jacksh&* lol

Hey SS,

     They don't call me the Brain on CoachT for nothing! I be all, know all, see all and have never been wrong on CoachT. If you don't believe me.....just ask me. :lol:

I was SHOCKED when I looked up and saw a 14-7 score in the third quarter because West should have dominated the game.  The OR defense battled but the offense lacks any real punch other than Jackson. But the OR was going against the best defense they'll see all season, mark it down. OR must get the ball to Jackson 15-20 times a game, Johnson 10 times a game, Romano 10 times a game, and Stewart a few times. There is no speed there but that's the best OR has.

This is not directed at Bonkers because just about everybody has been saying the same thing about the Offense. I don't say you all are wrong but I see it a little differently....

The Offense, except the line, is mostly new this season. Very little experience on Friday nights. This has caused them to be off and on from week to week. They had put two weeks of good football together against CCHS and FHS but WEST is a beast on Defense. I hope to see OR go back to improving on Offense this week. 

My hope is when the season is over we will see that from Week One to Week ?, the O showed improvement.

As I said previously, Coach Gaddis has been coaching 49 years but has only won one state championship at Oak Ridge. He has had excellent talent to work with but still has not won. He and the entire coaching staff need to go! All of you keep making excuses for the team when the real problem is Coach Gaddis!

The team doesn't need excuses made for them. They work hard and that is enough for me. The coaches work hard and that is enough for me.

He is an athlete with a strong vertical - he gave your receivers fits all night - as did much of the secondary.  That snag should have told you something about how throwing 50/50 balls at him is going to work out for you.  You had over 30 passing attempts for a total of less than 80-90 yards - so you averaged less than 3 yards per attempt.  How big of a liability was he on D?  Surely some of those 30 pass attempts should have exploited him.  He was there at corner all game so how many times did ANY of your receivers get open or snag on him?  Again - that’s not much of a game plan.  

I know him personally! He’s a great athlete but don’t overdue his vertical! He dominated and before knew he was a threat and speedster, but Johnson caught balls all night on him just was short yards! 12 made plays it’s just that simple. You’re arguement isn’t good because basically you’re saying if tee Higgins was playing you wouldn’t throw it up due to the fact 12 caught jump ball on our dbs?  You have to throw it up SIMPLE! That’s definitely not my game plan to attack him so I can agree with you there. My only argument opposite is that I trust couple jump balls to go in oak ridge favor that’s just my take

Man you know less football than anyone on this board. If you had ever been a lineman, you would know that lining up against a man 50-100 pounds heavier than you takes a cumulative effect on you (please look up the definition of cumulative because it's obvious that you don't get it). It's different when you're fresh in the beginning of the game and even in the second quarter. I didn't say big linemen meant you would win every game...smh.  You're embarrassing yourself!

It’s clear you never played football! You think big line equals automatic wins or the difference in winning and losing every game! Lmao bye

Romano Stewart and Johnson are not New. Qb is new and is overrated

You don’t know anything about Oak Ridge football. Emory Hale won many games against bigger and faster teams. And he won 3 championships. Talk to some of the former football players at Oak Ridge and they will say the same thing. 

See that’s the problem people who didn’t play have no idea I don’t get why I’m explaining myself to cat about lineman he clearly never played!

    • 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.
