D-DAY80

Been alot of head scratching by many for sure on line up & game situation moves last couple years 

I thinks it could be a little bit of everything you mentioned. It’s a problem when smaller schools have more kids try out for the baseball program then Nederland did the past few years as well. In my opinion Nederland needs a overhaul. Been living in the past to long! It’s time for a new era of coaching and kids to step up and make something happen. Not going to happen reliving the past or blaming kids. Starts with leadership/culture of athletics and the kids will follow.

Congrats to the Indians. Nice way to bounce back! Guanere was in control all night until the line drive to the ankle. Great Defense and timely hitting! Both teams should be congratulated on two tough competitive games!  
 

Corcoran’s HR last night was the 1st by a Nederland player in at least 2 years.  They had zero all last year.  

Have seen this the last few years from Ned side. BC head coach always been solid coach & keeps his team in games from start to finish.

When you have a Stone and a Green I agree! But Nederland was out coached all day long yesterday. BC small balled Nederland to embarrassment. The coach for BC didn’t allow his kids to be complacent. He coached the entire game and they were all on the same page. Didn’t here a peep from Nederlands side and as the game went on it got sloppier and sloppier.

Coaches vary well and we’re ready to play ball! Played a lot of small ball, pitched well, and made routine plays in the field. Collectively looked like a solid little team.

If you are Head coach. Have Coach Stone & Coach Green as your top 2 asst. to get input from, you should never be out coached in any aspect of a baseball game.

Nederland @ Jasper “Jasper/Huntsville” last Saturday was a good day of baseball and Nederland played well when the dudes were on the field.
 
Nederland @ BC yesterday was cold and sloppy. Nederland looked lethargic and were out coached.
 
Nederland @ HJ this sat. Hopefully the dogs show up with a game plan and some energy.

Nah bro, Nederland has more talent than PNG at every position group on the field other than QB and RB. PNG has less talent than KP this year. You’re right though, Ned had the 3rd or 4th most talent in the district and finished in a clear cut 6th.

I watched 10 Bulldog games and I saw a text n of arm tackling and poor fundamental tackling skills. In other words, a very weak defense
Faircloth takes the top athletes and puts them on offense and then the defense takes shape. He gets ridiculed, but seems to make the playoffs. 
I don’t know if Barrow and staff have been to the playoffs more than 1 time since he has become head coach. 
PNG and Nederland have just about equal talent, however it seems as if PNG gets more production from their players than Nederland does in my opinion 

The problem with the fake punt is they actually huddled up before running it(first time all night they huddled up on a punt). Element of surprise was gone.

Stattrax, you may be right in Monte being a good choice, however in my opinion, the coaching staff did a poor job this year.  If you look at every position, as a unit, I didn’t see any excel.  It didn’t matter whether it was the OL, QB, RB, receivers, DL, LBer’s, or Sec.
I also don’t think 6 out of 8 is close to the dance and they didn’t come to play every night.  If you think they came to play vs BH and KP, I would question that

The Bulldog faithful can rave about Barrow and coaching staff all they want and yes they did a good job last year.  
This season the Bulldogs were a very poorly coached team.  They may have broken a record in getting personal fouls, which shows zero discipline and lack of character.
Every offensive position coach did a poor job in my opinion. The offense was extremely weak n all positions . Defensively, the secondary was really weak and I saw little effort the last 3 games of the season.   
Whoever called the fake punt in their own territory and only down 17-10 made a tremendously poor decision, probably the turning point of the game. 
Hopefully they can turn it around next season. They lost 4 of the last 5 games and that 6th place finish leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

The offense HAS to change. Fusilier needs to be involved. Maybe less slip screens and bubble screens designed to #4 and more creative ways to put the ball in the best player’s hands. Defense can’t keep scoring, getting TO’s and have the offense stall out. Defense is also without starting corner and most likely free safety
