I agree wit u. Dey ran out of gas last yr.but if everyone remember d.thomas made some unbelievable runs wit his legs.nd great throws across da middle. Besides him there running game was a none factor.nd there offensive line didn't show up. And until Silsbee defense can stop anyone. I'm a non believer! !

I've been preaching how big an asset tradition is - Hugh!  For example, say Nederland is up by 14 over Vidor at the start of the 4th Qtr.  I bet Most of the Pirates are thinking, well we played a good game.   Now, Vidor up by 14.  What are the Ned players thinking - alright, let's get off our butts and win this game.  As Silsbee92 pointed out, it's the mindset.   I know many of you have seen me post this before, but it fits this thread.  Local Teams like WO-S, Ned, Newton, they don't know how to lose.  You may beat them on the scoreboard, but you don't mentally beat them.
BTW, this should be a great game.  Some outstanding athletes will be on that field.

Take one game at a time. Only worry about the game for that week. WOS coaches always have the kids focus only on the game at hand and not look ahead, that is when you get in trouble. 

He was not double...If watch the play the rover end bumps him then stays in the flat while he runs his normal go route.

Great post.

Ill say it again.. this conversation goes no where for one reason.
History. 
But try this on....
How many TRULY believe its about individual talent this year?  Not a total team efficiency. Be honest.
I can't tell you how many times WOS has fed crow to teams and except for some
truly exceptional athletes the most dominating aspect of WOS is History. 
That history comes from success.  They have my respect as a program. I'm sure there are others.
That success breeds a mindset of winning.
That mindset is what the players look forward to.  The fear they instill in other teams before the first snap.
Opponents have to overcome that fear of missing that one tackle, that one play that starts the roll. 
That one play that puts them down by 7, then 14, then ...... well you get the idea.
Its rarely about individual talent.  Its about a team mindset.
 
Pay attention people.  The Silsbee fans that take the time to brave this board and have to be fed the crow of past history are talking about a hopeful and promising change in mindset.  A team mindset.
If any team can find it, feel it, embrace it and then build on it, it is Silsbee.
Will it be this year.  Who knows. There is a good chance of success.
They can feel it.  They are on the hunt.  Up to the players to believe and then embrace.
They have the talent.  Hands down.

Most anticipated non-district area matchup. 

That's true Dontre was huge and I haven't seen Tre play yet but if he is what is expected I wouldn't expect much fall off.  And you add a second back the quality of Tyler and the running game will be tough to contain.  As far as the offensive line, I will  have to see how they perform.  Now on the defensive side we still have to prove ourselves as well but with a change in offense that defense should stay off the field a little more which will be a big help, also depending on how many players play both ways.

We did it last year....1 catch 7 yards!

It is way too early for me to make a prediction, we haven't proved anything yet.  And yes both teams should be better than they were but with new coaches you just don't know how long it will take for us to really get going.  We have all the ingredients and last years game was pretty much agame that could have went either way until we ran out of gas at the end.  Unfortunately, as far as football goes,  I will miss the game because I will be in Colorado.

Single coverage on the WR's believe that. And WOS d-line might be the strongest part of the defense....Just like Silsbee has gotten better so has WOS...Should be a real real good game Sept.23!

Silsbee WRS are. 6'2 180lbs and 6'4 200lbs. One has received offers from A&M, Texas Tech, and Missouri. They other caught for 1200 yards last year. They have 2 running backs that both rushed for 1900yds and 1200yds last year. A 6'5 QB who has maybe the strongest arm in SETX. That has to count for something! 

And they won't be losing any games this year!

Got a gut feeling that TIGERNATION is gonna be in football world domination mode this season...talent to BOOT! Second, WOS goes down...Third, Silsbee wins district, Fourth, deep run! Just my little ole gut...we will see but I'm excited to be able to watch!

Is that the year yall lost to Newton?  

No, that won't happen.  Actually, it wasn't a bad game last year...  But the young guns at Silsbee have matured a lot right before our eyes.  It won't be a blowout...

Im skeptical, I wanna see how his WRs and offensive line helps him out when them pads get put on versus Varsity competition. 

I really think dat OF is improving every year !!

WOS
OF

Smells like August folks. 

I'm predicting a lot of short kickoffs against Crosby.How would you like to be a special teams coach and look down the field and see Craig Williams and Johnny Harper waiting.4.36 & 4.4 Wow !

No need to start one lol ! One thing abt big ned  coach he has a way of figuring out who will b his next qb. Great coach !!

I feel like Silsbee/PN-G will be a very high-scoring game

Johnson played with Team Elite 2 weeks ago in College Station....He looked pretty good throwing to Hancock and Miller....PNG have something special in Johnson..

PNG losing Morse is hard to swallow, not really sure how this season will turn out, hate seeing WOS off the schedule, the last couple of years have been really good games, no offense to Silsbee, but WOS is in a league of their own. At least we don't have to go to Lufkin this year. Hoping defense can get it together, don't know if offense can carry all the weight as they usually do.
