Well, I'm out of town but let me add a few things to the discussion. Smyrna had a few of their main defensive guys out and some offensive guys even had to play some D. But even more important than that, the Smyrna coaches don't take these off season games and early scrimmages nearly as seriously as some other teams and coaches do. No one in the Smyrna camp will be alarmed and think that teams will pass all over them. The defensive back field has been a challenge for Smyrna for many years in the past. They have gotten better lately. Nothing about a 7v7 game in July will raise any red flags for those familiar with the team. Smyrna plays freshman, inexperienced guys, and works on things during these opportunities. Like last year's MT scrimmage where they did experimental things looking down the road for development and not so concerned about a scrimmage. It's good for discussion but I don't put much stock in off season pundit analysis. Looking at these 7v7 games, I don't think they are an accurate indicator of much. It's hard to three peat but it's easy to work on improving the program. I think Smyrna has its priorities in order. Btw, one or two overzealous and vocal dbs doesn't a cocky defensive back field make. Every dB gets burnt and lets it go on next play. It's part of the job description. They also talk $@#& to get in receivers head when possible. And visa versa. No big deal.
