Ron has always been good with the offensive lines whereever he has coached, Looking forward an offensive line like we had the last time he coached here in 2004.

 

True, not to take anything away from Coach Gray, but look at look at some of the guys that we were fortunate to have on the team during that time.

Running backs:  Spencer Guilmire, Daniel Johnson, Jake Vane, Leonard Blair

Lineman: Eli Manning, Josh Whaley, Tyler Lane, Tyler Trent, Alex Stuart, James Normand

I think that era was the last time that Oak Ridge was able to play with a full deck. It always seemed every year after that we were missing a piece, whether it be the lines, secondary, receivers, etc. and we didn't have the depth we had in those years ,2003-2005. Hopefully, with more people moving into town and more homes being built, will also help Coach Cummings build some depth, as he has said. He doesn't want players having to go both ways and some guys having to play 48 minutes each night, I think Coach Gray will do a great job in building that depth in the offensive line so injuries can be covered and guys be fresh in the 4th quarter,

I thought Coach Blade did a good job building depth.He didnt play a lot of guys both ways and that is why Im excited about Coach Cummings.I just wish it was close to kickoff already.Are teams allowed to have a spring scrimmage vs other teams.I remember Tees last yr we scrimmaged Seymour at UT but I dont remember us doing it since then.

Yes we can have Spring scrimmages but the last couple of years with Covid, they elected not to do one. I don't know if one is planned for this spring yet,

2020 there was no spring practice. In 2021, T$$AA limited and restricted what bball and baseball were allowed to do, so they did the same for football and did not allow a spring scrimmage.  2022, we are allowed one spring scrimmage against another team.  

Great let me know anybody hears of one for this year.Have we done one since the Seymour scrimmage

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
