Tatum_DirtyBird Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Newton comes in ranked #3 in 3A-DII while Tatum is ranked #9 in 4A-DII. Should be a great game with athletes all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Think this will be a great game. I will take the home team. Tatum by 7. I am also interested in this game cause Henderson plays Newton in non district. I know nothing about them just that they are winning program that's always a contender I be lying if I said I knew where it's located lol. Not too far from Woodville, south of Lufkin.

Tiger1995 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm gonna take Tatum in a shoot out. 42-36 range. Should be a great way for both ball teams to start the 2014 season off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleborn Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I see a 21-14 or a 14-7 type game. These two defenses are going to be stout. Â Hopefully Tatum will recognize and adjust to all the tackle over stuff Newtons gonna come with. Wouldn't be surprised to even see some guard and tackle over.

LilEagle Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Gotta agree. I just do not see this being a high scoring game. Of course after seeing our defense Friday, I do not believe that anyone will score in the 35+ range on Tatum. Should be a good game to start the season.

Tiger1995 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 The key to beating Tatum is running the football with physical presence. Pound them up the middle! Your not gonna just burn them. You've got to be patient and take every opertunity you get to pound on their defense till they start trying to get overly aggressive back. That's when they tend to get flustrated and let teams have success. They aren't a physical team. The are a finess team and like to beat you with speed. Infact I actually thought they were less physical than pewit, garrison and Troup last year. they beat us last year by a couple TD's but we had them down till the last 4 mins of the game they were able to squeze in a few quick scores off turnovers inside their 20 and make the score look worse than it really was.

Â My buddy JJ, I see you still have those jaded glasses that you look through. We actually only scored once in the last quarter of that game 21-6. Â That time of year last year we had a new QB and many new players. Our first 5 games were against run dominate teams and we gave up a whopping 13 points total. Just be happy you do not have to face us again this year. Go ask Troup who was the more physical team in the game they played against us. Â I believe we will be just fine taking care of teams run games. Newton however does have a better running game and Tatum will have to play disciplined football to keep them of the field on offense.

Eagle8 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yeah, Newton's run attack is always tough. Keeping tabs on QB Elam will be a big factor. Kid can make things happen with his legs. If our DBs can be disciplined enough to play pass first on every play and let our big front 7 handle the run, they'll pick some passes off. Elam doesn't throw the ball all that well. If we can put them in several 3rd and long situations Brooks, Boyd, Nelson, and the new cat at FS should have some great opportunities to pluck a floating duck out of the air. Newton just kind of expects the DBs to bite on the run and just sling it up expecting no DBs to be there after reeling off 8 or 9 run plays in a row. Easier said than done though. Â All in all, I like our chances against anyone this year. Hyde is gonna be a beast at DE, Lopez is great on the other side. Blackmon looks good in the middle. Smith is a heat sinking torpedo at ILB, looking forward to see what Hicks can do at the other ILB spot. He looks pretty solid. 205 lb Malik Allen at one OLB spot and 190+ Starling at the other OLB spot with 215 lb K. Harris and B. Roberts rotating with all of them. Almost all of these guys play defense only. Gonna have fresh legs at LB all year long. Our defense is deep and nasty this year. A lot of depth, looking forward to seeing this team lay the hat. Â Offensively, we are stacked at the skills. A bunch of scat backs, big athletic WRs, big TEs, and Baby D in the slot. Can't wait to see Baby D in live action. Kid reminds me of D-Moe....as far as speed and the way he runs with the ball in his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â lol we didn't even have a qb hahaha....at all...our RB had to play qb and a freshman RB had to fill in his spot. And yall still struggled ha. And yes Newton hopefully will be healthy so yall get a realistic look at them. I still think yall win in a close one. And that score came with what 1:23 secs left to play lol.....
