Best Runnin Back in Tha State

It is WAY to early to declare the best back in TN. All these backs seem very good, but wait until the playoffs and see how these backs do over the entire season to determine the best running back in the state.

 

And one little thing, Cassen Jackson from Knox Central had 55 yards against McCallie, so maybe competition level helped him in the first 3 games stack up all those yards.

There are a bunch of great backs in TN, but don't overlook Earnest Williams of Crockett COunty. He doesn't have great stats so far due to lack of playing time caused from the competition played. He's 6'1, 180 lbs, runs a 4.5 or better, and rather run through defenders as around them. That's why Ole Miss, Auburn, and the Vols are all taking a look.

Chris Johnson of McCallie looks pretty good to me.

 

Rebelron, Walker is a good back. Come to think of it, there a 3 good sophomore backs in Blount County. Walker, Lindsey at Alcoa, and Ryan Tallent at Maryville.

 

Once Chris McCord gets back to 100%, I'm sure we'll see do some special things again this season. MHS has a good back in each class. McCord sr., Byner and Parnell jrs., Tallent soph., and Tank Baker fr. Go Rebs.

LCstatman, I have to agree with you. I haven't seen all your games, but I have noticed the competition you've been playing. For Gregory to gain that kind of yardage against that kind of competition speaks volumes for him....and the offensive line he is running behind. Will Franklin County slow him down?

If the O line plays like they did against Blackman and Riverdale, I don't think Franklin County will be able to contain him. He is a big, strong runner, and is deceptively fast. He broke against Riverdale last Friday and outran their secondary for an 85 yard touchdown. Everyone knows the type of speed Riverdale has on defense, probably one of the fastest in the state. He should have 100 easy, wouldn't be supsrised to see him break the 200 mark.

has ever happened beLCstatman, didn't Lincoln County have TWO backs gain over 100 yards against Riverdale's defense? Wonder when that fore. Riverdale doesn't give ground easily.

Edminston was the other that gained 100 yards in the riverdale game. i am not for sure how many but he had over 100. LCstatman probaly knows exactly how may. But i have to go with the Falcons Josh Gergorey as the best back You have just got to see him play hes unbeleivable.

Yes, in fact the Falcons did have two backs to go over 100 yards. QB Michael Edmiston gained 110 yards on 21 carries for Lincoln County to go along with Gregory's 169 yards on 28 carries.

    • 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.
