The Road to The Rock Starts Today!

Line will have depth. I worry about the secondary.

Jr high wise, the next solid crop IMO will be this years 8th graders and the 9th graders.

I would not worry too much about the secondary. I do not see any real scary passing teams this year, so a serviceable secondary should do. There shouldn't be a need for shutdown corners like Dumas has.

Ha. Well line play and QB play is my concern.

To be honest I think everyone including me has been a little too hard on Gorman. He did pretty good in 2012 all things considered and unless he has regressed he should do just fine.

You sure it will be Gorman? Superfly doesn't think so

We have three realistic options. I would give Gorman a shot though.

Those suckers must have been in jail or something last year. Maybe they will finally be freed and show up this go around.

Warren will be back in Little Rock this December.

[LJ06]

The 2014 'Jacks are stacked at RB and WR. The offensive line will be solid, along with the defensive line. Linebackers should be good. Secondary should be great although depth is a major concern there considering your playing your best WRs at corner and safety. Obviously at this point QB is the greatest concern. Warrens glaring weakness is depth. Unlike last year there will be several guys going both ways unless there are some who step up. This could very easily cost Warren at some point.

[Jacketman65]

I've seen a lot of other teams use players both ways over the years and get away with it - they must be in top shape.  The main thing is to avoid that injury bug, if it bites it will generally hurt.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

Booneville has always used many players both ways.  We've never had the luxury have having 22 athletes to split up and go one way. 

[cuckoobird]

Our last great team had 9 guys going both ways.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

Hey cuckoo.  I know this is old news and has been way over used but i was looking through the hootens magazine and noticed something.  50% of Mariannas wins in the last three years have been against stuttgart!

probably, you know, they were really good until the last 5 years and of course we were their first win in two years. lol

Conditioning,Conditioning,Conditioning,this summer to get in shape to play both ways.

Our boys thought they used to run a lot under Elmore but Coach Perin is taking them to another level. Many changes here in Stuttgart

[beach bum]

On my run yesterday I saw Dardanelle conditioning..... They are picked to be a contender in the 4-4A but they looked pretty small across the board. Now I have a terrible sunburn from starting my 8 mile run at 2 p.m.

Elmore's teams used to wear out opponents in the 2nd half, and that was with guys playing both ways. So if Coach Perrin is ramping up the conditioning that sounds good to me. Of course I know he has a different offensive style...interested to see it develop this year.

I think they will be airing it out with a little spread option

The development of Brasfield is key. We all know he can run but if he can become a passing threat that will really open up Perrin's offense.

[cuckoobird]

He made a lot of mistakes last year but I'm hoping it was inexperience that did it. He will also have a little better competition this year that should push him to be better.

[hawgfan15]

I thought Perrin got the most out of his QB's while at MS

how did he deal with the problem dads at ms?

[Superjack45]

How many players are on the Ricebirds team. Any players going both ways.

[cuckoobird]

How many players are on the Ricebirds team. Any players going both ways.

numbers are always down during summer workouts and yes, several will go both ways, maybe even the qb. However Coach Perrin has gotten a few to play who haven't since junior high so numbers are on the rise.

Hopefully some of those 7th and 8th graders will get bigger before they get into high school.
