Bear's Wrap Up It's First Scrimmage Game
Went to the first scrimmage game and it was great, in the scorching hot sun, Mercer Bears was in bear down mode. In the first session, the defense was clearly ahead of the offense as the hitting was ferocious and a lot of big plays made.
Big time interception by a freshman cornerback, and the line backing core was very solid. Over all defensive line played good, as they seem to plug the run, and create pressure against the pass.
we have a lot of good athletes on both sides of the ball. In the second session the offense started to jell, making big time plays, both running and passing, I was very impressed with the running back core, as it seems to be balance with two are three deep.
The QB situation is solid, with John, and Tanner leading the way. I also thought the other QB's showed good working progress, But John seems to be at the top of his game with decision making, and accuracy in passing.
The receiving core was electric, from the first string through the second, with the incoming freshman, we seem to have added speed and catching ability of the deep ball, several nice catches were made on key 3rd down situations.
Impressed with their routes, and catches made. Our tight ends are battling, as we have a couple of good TE blocking, and catching up the middle.
Over all great day to be a Bear!!!! Lot of work and attention given to specials teams also.
Enjoyed the look!!!! Go Bears
