Anybody go over to Halls last night? Couldn't make it so was wondering how everybody looked with the new coaches!

I was there until 7:00.  I thought we looked good, but considering it was a joint practice and not a scrimmage it is hard to draw many conclusions.  We have a lot of speed on both sides of the ball.  Our lineman competed hard; first unit defense dominated up front.  If we can keep our guys healthy, it should mean a special season.  Some players that stood out:  Dozier should have a monster season for us; Heyward, Amari and Cummings  will burn a lot of teams that we play; also, Noles #20 gives us another option at TE; both Stansbury and Garza looked good at QB.  Defense was dominate and aggressive.  We have good depth backing most of the starters.

Most important, I thought everyone on the field had a good idea of what they were supposed to do.  Probably the most positive thing I got out of this session.

I was there, I would agree, especially with the last statement, I think this staff is well organized and has players in the right positions and this could be a very good season. will be even better once the freshman join them in August and guys that are in track and baseball now return as well.

    • 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.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
