    I went to the Nederland game. First, congratulations to the Bulldogs for winning. They already have beaten their record from last year. And, who’s to say they don’t keep winning? But, just taking tonight as my only sample (Tonight was my first time watching Nederland this year): Nederland is not good. Maybe they will be next week. Maybe they win state. But, today they are bad. The o-line is awful, and I mean awful. The defense is porous, d line is weak. The enthusiasm is absent. Numbers 1,2,3 and Sunday are the only four players on the team with any heart. Mistakes, penalties, false starts, pathetic tackling. Inconsistent (looked good at the beginning, looked bad-to-average the rest of the night). Conditioning is weak. It’s shocking, and not what I’m used to as someone who has watched Nederland all my life. All of that goes back to coaching. I don’t believe anyone should bash the players. And no reason to “bash” the coaches. They’re doing their best. I don’t want to be negative. I went to the game to root for Nederland. I wish them the best until they play PNG. But for all that 3-0 looks good on Nederland, tonight was bad football between two bad football teams. But, I’ve been wrong before. Maybe I’m wrong about this.

    I watched PNG this week. Would it be fair for me to say they aren’t good because I watched 4 quarters of a game they didn’t play well in? I didn’t think so. High school teams have good weeks and bad weeks. See y’all later this month.

    Not sure how it will translate wins/losses this season, but Nederland is better than last year from what I’ve seen so far. The QB looks much more comfortable throwing and I think a big part of the offense will be his running ability which can’t be showcased in scrimmages. The RB looks good as well and they get him the ball in many ways. O-Line is a work in progress. Not sure what to think on the WRs yet.

     

    Defense is overly aggressive at times and the penalties were WBs main offense. We’ve got some nice pieces and are still very young. 
     

    I think Ned would have won the other night had it been a real game, but that’s just my opinion. I think the Dogs will be much more competitive this season, but would have to improve more to make the playoffs this season. I hope to see it happen. They should be a lot more fun to watch than last season for sure.

  3. Ned QB play is much improved. All 3 looked good to me, but the starter has really improved his passing a lot in the offseason. The pass blocking looked ok, but the run blocking needs a lot of work. The WRs need to hang on to the ball when securing the catch. Ned looked like the better team during the game portion, HF looked like the better team during the controlled portion. Ned needs to improve tackling and coverage. The play calling was much better than past years imo.

     

    Not a bad first scrimmage. Looking forward to seeing them vs. West Brook Thursday. Hopefully the key players that left with injuries will be healed up and ready to go.
