If the Govs want to have a chance, we need to get back to the run game which is where we shine. I feel like we kind of abandoned the run prematurely to keep up in the losses. A slower pace would probably help our young defense get rested and make adjustments between possessions too. An incomplete pass on first down is usually a drive killer. Just saying.

You guys could try the system we have used successfully for years..... run - run - incomplete pass - punt

I'll have to be the guy that goes against the grain from reading through some of this. Dobyns Bennett has some fine coaches on their staff . There has always been some fine coaches since I started watching them years ago. Yeah,I've gotten a little aggravated at times over the years with this and that ,but hey we all get aggravated with everything in life at times and that's part of it.Besides having some great coaches on their staff ,they also have some great men who try and help the young men on the team with everyday problems besides just being football coaches.I appreciate many of the coaches today and many that are no longer there for their efforts with my kids and their teammates. I remember one young man that Coach Christian and coach Clark tried to help and went over and beyond to do so.I liked that young man and  wish like everything that life would have been better for him but the effort several on DB's staff gave was more then great and those kinds of things you just have to be thankful for and really appreciate besides just winning or losing football games........

Batman you always seem to say the right things and this is a great post.

Not against D-B.  Against us, you'll want to throw every down.

    • 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.
