Round 2 Page at Mt Juliet


Recommended Posts

Here we go folks! The Patriots travel to Mt. Juliet to take on the Golden Bears. 
 

This should be a fun game and a big challenge for the Patriots. I’m excited to see them do it. Big test on the road in a tough environment against a great team. Mt. Juliet has a couple D1 prospects if I’m not mistaken and they’ve played really well this season seems like. 
 

I am excited to see the Page boys battle it out. They have a really good thing going right now! How’s this one going to play out?

Not sure what to expect, but here’s what I’ll say based on the film I’ve observed.

Offense: advantage Page, they seem more fluent with the offense they run. A lot of athletes that stick to their task.

Mount Juliet has the better backs (Morton and Crudup) both have 4.4 40 type breakaway speed and both are bruising built backs as well. Osize Daniyan is an absolute playmaker at Wr/Db/KR. Our 6’5 quarterback completes passes around the 80% mark, I think he will be a power 5 recruit one day as he’s just a sophomore. And our Oline is big at 6’4 5’11 6’2 6’4 6’5. The Tennessee tackle commit is responsible for a 10 yard per gain average on his side. It really comes down to fluidity whether or not this offense can get going with all the potential it has and that is mostly on the O coordinator.
 

Defense: advantage Page, they won’t wow you but once again they stick to their assignments well and swarm to the ball.

Mount Juliet’s defense is a bend quite a bit break sometimes type of defense. The defensive line is our weakest point on both sides of the ball, they’re young and well undersized. Often in our losses they got pushed around by bigger lines.  Our LB core is average size, good speed and fundamentally sound. Our secondary is pretty solid, but they haven’t been tested much.

 

Special teams: sure advantage Mount Juliet. We have a strong leg kicker, good punter and we’ve blocked somewhere around 10 kicks this season. 4 that went for TDS. Morton is a mastermind at blocking kicks as he has accounted for 6 of them. 
 

All that being said, If MJ wants to stay in this game they will need to win the turnover battle, not make costly penalties and win the coaching battle. Something they have struggled at over the last few seasons.

You had better buckle your chin strap when tackling 7, hes a dog for sure.  MJ, whats his stats this year?  

I can only estimate, but he’s probably somewhere around 1200 yards rushing 12 tds. He only gets about 10-14 carries a game. He’s also blocked punts, extra points and field goals for Tds. All While missing the first game of the season. Our best playmaker for sure.

I sure was impressed with him and 6 when we played you guys the first time. Nolensville and Page are both really good teams but I really believe MJ and WC are too. I hope we both take care of business so we see if you stand behind that 17 point prediction you made earlier ;) Good luck Friday! Let’s repeat one of the most entertaining games of the year next week.

I’m rooting for WC, they seem to be playing well as the underdog. No one can stop Dowell or pinion. How great would it be to have a quarterfinal matchup between MJ and WC.

    • And yes, in 2010 Clary/Scott Monger got into it with a R’dale fan. Well, mostly Monger lol. I think the fan took a swing at him. It’s funny as all get out listening to it on the replay. Scott told the guy to sit his a** down. Lol. That wasn’t the only time SM got into it with an opposing team. Seems like he got into it with someone at William Blount one year. He was an OG lol
    • Nope, they knew lol. He was just one tough hombre. Played right up to near the end of the Powell game like that and we almost won. I think they beat us, 21-17. Was a valiant effort on his part though.
    • No, that was in 2010. We played them in the quarterfinals in ‘11 the year I’m talking about, but we got hammered 35-14. 2010 was a fun year though. Played Maryville in the semis and gave them a really tough game for the majority of that game, but their depth eventually wore OR down, 38-21. Bradley had a few awesome runs in that game. He was a stud. Nothing fancy, but like I said, a mini Tebow. Would keep that read option up the middle and pound that tater in there. He was hard to bring down. Probably went for 195 lbs, if that.
    • Gibson County will be good next year as well. The five girls that didn't start last year are all solid and we have Micah Hart's sister coming up this year. We  will be very competitive especially late in the year. May lose some this summer getting girls reps and trying to figure things out but we are going to be good. 
    • Dyersburg will be really good for a while. Their JV is loaded as well. South Gibson ought to be much better with four really good players coming up from an undefeated  Jr. High Team. Also will have 3 players back from knee injuries last year. They will be a handful especially late. Dyersburg District right there with the Upperman District with quality teams.
