Can you be more specific. I do not disagree but I was curious what exactly you saw or didn't see for that matter. 

I came to that conclusion against rockwood when they quit in the 4th.  Teams that are well coached don't normally make that many mistakes this late in the season.  There seems to be a disconnection there.

Do you have any insights on the situation? I’ve been pretty open with my opinions but always curious what others think. We should be a lot better than we are. 

I think we probably agree on most to be honest. Last year they were physical. They absolutely manhandled South Greene, who was the #1 seed. On both sides of the ball. Absolute domination in the trenches. This year they are soft. I don't understand exactly why. I think half is coaching (no OL/DL), and the other half is attitude. They play finesse now which as you know is not what Oneida is and not what TL built. 

They have like 15 starting seniors. Athletic QB, athletic skill guys. Any team would love to have all that. But for some reason it doesn't translate.

They lack toughness. Kids miss practice all the time, games all the time...over the most minor bumps and bruises. 

Offense is very predictable. Rockwood was calling out plays before they happened. They just weren't disciplined enough on defense to stop it, lol. 

Lastly, there is no accountability. And that starts at the top. And IMO, that's their biggest problem.

Fumblin  on the 1 driving to take the lead ended our season

They would have ended up losing anyway I think. The only thing stopping Rockwood's offense that night was dumb play calls and penalties. Oneida certainly wasn't. Don't forget, RW scored twice after that and could've added a third late if they wanted to. Oneida could barely complete a pass after that.

Yes I agree but that fumble was the complete turnin poinT in that game and pretty much the season.

A good coach will never let a team just quit.  I don't know the guys at Oneida but their body of work says they need to do better.  I'm tickled to have Zac.  Our boys have seen some tough times this year but they have a great attitude.

    • 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.
