Katy brings the brook down to earth. 21 pts. Its a prediction don't hate me for it.

[quote name="TEL" post="845298" timestamp="1284264499"] [quote author=RED MACHINE link=topic=72819.msg844361#msg844361 date=1284206517] If you were at last night's game you would have seen a better game from the Defense then the last 2 games. Let me give you a recap. 1st half, forced fumble by Crosby defense inside the PD 30 yd line 0 pts from the Offense, Crosby defense interception at the  10, 0 pts from the Offense. 2nd half 5 punts forced by the Crosby defense. Crosby Offense 0 pts. Crosby Offense on the 1 yd line at the end of the game & still can't score because why, WE GOT STUFFED BECAUSE WE AREN'T BLOCKING!!!!!!!!! [/quote] Oh, thanks for making it so clear. We are 0-3 because you are saying the lineman can't block. If Flannigan ever leaves I think we found our new AD!!! [/quote] No clue who TEL is but hes not watching the game, Redmachine gave you an accurate run down, the defense held well this game, but lets face it Dawson has 5a talent and is playing in 4a. 4 starters out on defense any team would have issues if that were true. Winlessness is funny, i luv how 20-4a are licking their chops yet i bet you crosby and dayton beat whoever they face first round. Our linemen are OK but the problem is they seem to think its enough to just run into someone, and don't give the backs/Merka enough time to escape the pocket. TEL Boxscores don't tell you the story they only let you think you know what happened.

No luv for a new crosby poster... And they wonder why we don't like this SITE. 1) I agree with red machine crosby's offense is not pathetic in fact in the first half it out gained PNG, PNG then had several big plays that racked up yardage. 2) The defense was better this week, much better. Sure they gave up yards and 28 pts but they played consistent and had a much better second half (including the third quarter) also Dawson didn't put second string in until about 6ms left in the game. 3) If you Notice he said number 33 should run the ball (thats Lefluer) whom i think should run the ball. 4) We have a weakness thats getting exploited one of our safeties is consistently getting beat, same thing happened this game 1 big pass sealed the game, was a great thrown ball, on 3rd and 8 while the QB was getting hit our safety (in cover 2) let a WR get on the outside of him and got burnt, i dare say 90% of schools in the state of texas would have got burnt on that same execution. 5) Im only doing this because you picked on red machine. 6) Pathetic is far to harsh, lackluster/average/inconsistent is a better description. Ex. 10-0 halftime against PNG (mainly offenses fault), down by 7 to Montgomery at half (we actually tied the game then we get blown out. the Defense and Offense have both shown glimpses of real talent and ability but they havent done it consistently yet, part of that is injuries and younger kids playing . Also id like to point out redmachine never said anything about defense, he just concurred that the offense kinda blew. FINAL STATEMENT. This is what i see as a key corner stone for our team to succeed from this point on. 1) Offense needs to consistently run the football and run the clock, to keep the defense fresh. 2) Defense needs to create more turnovers, hard hits strips etc. 3) More non-moving routes, sit down routes etc get the 4-6 yards vs the 8-12 if your passing game isnt working. 4) Unleash Merka he's playing with his hands tied behind his back currently (passing more, running Merka almost never) We can do these things easily, if the offense runs the ball more then our defense will seem quicker (less tired) and will work better in pressure, allowing to create turnovers, unleashing Merka also helps that. The unmoving routes i don't expect to happen although i believe its a good idea.

Lufkins good.... Im going to have to talk to my half-brother he may be out of a job soon.... &2, 62 two straight weeks that wont get it done anywhere.

Finally a week off we need it maybe we can teach someone how to run the football? maybe? PLZ FOR HEAVEN SAKE let Lefuer run the ball little mor, i luv 4 yards every run makes the heart feel good.

Longtime no see frio. Well the cougs finally played some defense.

Aledo Brenham State finals anyone?

yeah if u hit the kicker before he touches the football and he makes contact with it its roughing.

Congrats BH good win for you guys. O how they fall.

PNG got the same thing any none Beaumont team gets going into the res. get over it.

Turnovers is becoming the norm for Dayton... Whats up? bad play by Broncos or just hard hits?

Merka was inaccurate, Dawson isn't as bad as many people seemed to believe. the cougs havent been able to run the ball which was a staple of our offense last year. This game is solely on the offense they didn't score, 28 pts should be a win for us, and it wasn't. Give credit to the very good dawson front 7. So, we've finally showed up for 4 quarters. The cougs will be fine, its quality opponents and a team whom has work to do and injuries to overcome. I dont get why our SS consistently gets burned. just a horrible play led to a 3rd down 50 yard td for dawson, just horrible coverage.

Manvel 38, Goose Creek Memorial 0, O my.... Now im scared of Nederland...

lol these are hilarious  ;D. what a joke.

[quote name="Fevertree" post="842149" timestamp="1283991408"]        Eagles by 21. 35-14. [/quote] i doubt the cougs will only score 14. (at home)

Just a question... who in 19-4a besides dayton could stay with Montgomery for a half? No seriously.... besides the fact that our kids burn out their not getting blown out the whole game, in both loses its been 3rd and 4th quarter collapses.... while i agree thats bad its something thats fixable, takes a little heart is all. All in all the cougs look better at this point (much better) in the season than they did last season at this point, and lets be honest as far as im concerned Montgomery/PNG/Dayton at least one of those teams will knock another out in playoffs, not to mention Dobbins 2nd game was much better, we gave up 240 to him next game they gave up like 300 yrds hes crazy good. PNG has a very good passing attack we let them get into a rhythm and when a passing team gets in a rhythm you end up having to make the  QB lay down and the defensive front couldn't do that. Zone defense, no pressure, offense in the zone. But those things are fixable.

last year both our RB and Merkas stats were recorded every game, even our second string running back had his stats recorded so i believe this may just be Montgomery and PNG sending our stats in after our games.

Was print only article. Put out by the Signal (UH student paper), lets see if i can find it i got a stack of them. Sorry i grab a coug paper every mourning and read the sports section.

UH fight song is awesome. I will say this first game of the season my arm was probably more worked out than Kase Keenums =P

(as a coug fan i was upset to see him go hes a great talent) Sumlin doesn't play around when someone decides to do illicit and illegal things on his football team. [/quote] I think insinuating that illegal behavior took place is a little slanderous.  No need to run the kid down.  I was just hoping to hear that he landed on his feet. [/quote] what he did was illegal and if its true its not slanderous. Not saying the kid knocked off a liquor store, but the newspaper used the words "ILLEGAL ACTIVITY" and "EXPULSION" fyi i didn't insinuate anything, i said sumlin gets rid of kids that break the law. his first season he got rid of a kid for driving drunk (he was 19 so he broke multiple laws).

I bet Stewart was an angry man after this game.

this is weird, reminds me of the cougs TD issues with the injins.

[quote name="prepballfan" post="841753" timestamp="1283947047"] PN-G won this game in each area of the game. That being said if Crosby really does have a little bit of depth comming back they could be dangerous with Merka behind center. [/quote] agreed and no ones saying PNG isn't good. I wish we had a couple of yalls receivers that'd be nice, they seem to know how to catch the football. GG sorry but until districts i dont care. you can if you want i have never cared its a feeling out stage.

so our total yardage is thier.
