Milan @ South Gibson Week 3


Recommended Posts

Back to football. Milan has thrown the deep ball pretty well this year. I think it is key for South Gibson to play the deep ball well at the corner position with some safety  help over the top. I believe our offense will score enough to win, I am concerned about giving up big plays more than long drives from Milan.

Thoughts?

Thanks for getting it back to football. You make some good points. I think the key for SG is to control the ball and keep Milan's offense off the field and away from the big play. I think Milan's defense still may be a little suspect at this point, but time will tell. Good luck to both teams and have a good game.

Some interesting similarities between both programs to start the season: Both Milan and South Gibson opened the season against decently talented teams in Trenton and Lexington, both played terrible Memphis teams in their second games that were both over by the second quarter, both have first year starters at quarterback, both have new coaches at the helm who are friends from their time playing together at Martin. 

The difference is Coach Carr is an offensive standout qb at Martin and Coach Johnson is a standout linebacker at Martin. Which team wins? Offense or Defense?

Gonna be a good one to watch and the winner will have the inside track when they face Haywood later in the year.

Milan’s offense is extremely versatile this year. I agree with you on the big play. Very explosive and several different play makers. The ability to get vertical has opened up the run game for Milan. Driving the field hasn’t really needed to happen cause the backs are turning short gains into long gains. I hope it continues. The matchups in the secondary will be key like you said.

    • Georgia commit DL Stephon Shivers announces he will leave Humboldt High School in Memphis to attend Brentwood Academy High School in Nashville for his senior year. Good move for the kid. Himboldt was awful, and somehow getting worse with all their players leaving for other high schools in Memphis. A very underrated prospect moves very fast for his size, and his releases off the line are insane. A very good pick-up for Brentwood Academy.
    • Great post and on point about the LB's. I would look to see Mason Batten get alot of reps and fill one of the LB's spots. Defensive and offensive line should be very good.  On the offensive side, Tate Surber has weapons all around him.  Backfield could see a mixture of RB's but I would anticipate Timmy Airline and Colt Norden getting the majority of the totes.  Norden will also be a big threat down the field in the passing game along with Cole Brown, Jacobi Melton, and Martez Teague.  Jacobi Melton is probably the fastest kid on the team. He can flat move.   As far as the offensive strategy, the weapons are for sure there to run that 4/5 wide no huddle.  But, do we have the depth to run a fast pace, no huddle and keep kids fresh for four quarters?  Time will tell.  One thing is for sure, the pieces are there to make a deep run, but we don't want to put the cart before the horse. 
    • McKenzie has to replace some very good players on defense especially @ linebacker. I am hearing the roster numbers are way up so far this year . A couple players from the 2022 team are back out for their senior year I  heard. Hearing the main offensive philosophy  maybe  moving toward a no huddle 4/5 WR and very fast paced. After exceeding  expectations last year and even holding their own in the championship game with what this team has back they  should be deep into the playoffs again this year. The defensive side of the ball is what I will be paying close attention too. I thought down the stretch last year, their defense was what really carried them through the playoffs. 
    • I'll post it on this thread instead of starting a new thread.  Humboldt's Stephon Shivers hit the tinder portal and will transfer to Brentwood Academy. Good to see this happen for Hayden Williams, as it'll give him a laser focus mentality to develop players for now on.
    • McKenzie has 30/38 of their roster back this year, according to TSSAA website.
