    Here’s my take.  If Vidor can get up early, I think it’ll lead to victory.  On the other hand, if CH gets up early, it’ll be very difficult for Vidor to come back.  The more mental/physical pressure we can put on their young QB, the better.  Under pressure, he’ll be their weak link.

    Btw, Mabank fan posted we didn’t have any speed, and their speed will get them in our backfield.  I told him our OL blocks better than Mabanks.  

    Our OL blocking definitely makes up for our speed.

    He was a multi-threat. Good vision too. And great awareness. When he was primarily defense, he had a few multi-pick games. Probably finished 2002 with 7 or 8 picks. -- and he blocked 2 field goals off the edge in 2001. 1 against Nederland when we beat them 10-8 ...that was a chip shot and would have won the game for them.. i only remember it because it was the first time we beat them in like 3 decades. And also it was the first game after the 9/11 attacks, and both stands passed around a very large american flag like it was crowd surfing. I can't remember the other block..but it was also a game winner i believe.

    I remember that 2001 Nederland game vividly. Dewayne Anderson had that 60 yard scamper early in the first quarter.

    Couple that style of offense with a strong defensive performance and I feel good about our chances. The only thing that worries me a bit is their big play ability but we have played many teams like that this season. We just have to wear them down and be within striking distance at the end. I’d prefer one of those dominating performances the Pirates have shown at times this year.

    That's what has me worried myself, is giving up the big play. Hopefully the secondary doesn't play with a single high safety all game or let their WRs sit down in our coverage and nickels and dime us. That drove me nuts watching Lumberton do that all first half, and wait til halftime for adjustments. But I think they'll come out better prepared and not let the game be too big for them, like last week with a few boneheaded mistakes.

    Had a Kilgore fan tell me most Vidor fans will be shocked when CH takes the field.  Said they have a bunch of big kids & they wear big pads.  Said they look like a Junior College team.  Made Kilgore look small.  The intimidation factor.  Evidently they had a QB of questionable talent and enthusiasm.  After the 3 District losses they brought up their current QB. Haven’t lost since.  Vidor needs to get on top of these folks in a hurry.  I suspect they may fold under pressure.  Problem is, getting them there.

    Maybe CH will see our size and think they will have their way with us and counter their intimidation tactics and we can punch 'em in the mouth early and often on offense and defense and let them know the Pirates came to play and WIN. One thing about the Pirates over the years, they aren't intimidated by any team, especially this group.

    Yep, I was disappointed when he decommitted from UT in June. Texas is still in the lead but word is he's waiting to see where Arch is going to commit. Just so he doesn't turn Aggie! 

    I forgot he decommited from Texas. But I'm really curious to see where Arch goes. I'm a big LSU fan, and I don't want him an Aggie either! lol

    Lindale QB is good, very good.  Big, athletic, and a strong arm.  Depending on what RB Lindale features...#16, 23, 24 (I think is his number)... all small-ish in stature but run hard and will make you miss in the open field.

    Defensively...they give up points but you better hold on to the ball tight. D-Line's pass rush is pretty good, edge rushers get off the ball fairly quick, decent push up the middle, and they like to blitz the LB's.

    Nole is correct about Lindale's QB. He's tall, athletic, has great field vision and has a strong arm. He has that ball out of his hands quick once it's snapped and knows his reads - so he knows where he wants to go with the ball. They have a huge TE that is quick and also plays DE as well. I really think Lumberton's O can have their way with their secondary and stretch the field but Lindale is not afraid to get in a track meet with anyone and it's been proven they aren't afraid since last year. Lumberton's best friend Friday will be the clock, and being very methodical with their drives and coming away with points every possession as possible. I really like the Raiders defense compared to Lindale's D.

    Go Raiders! 

    Blow that air horn and let Lindale know that L-Train is coming full throttle. Make 'em hear it early and often and all night for 48 minutes.

    10-4A-I versus everybody!

    Hoping they bring up some of that JV talent to fill in the depth needed at the running back positions. They’ve got some talented running backs on the JV team that could really help. Guess it’s fitting to say all hands on deck for this playoff game! Go Pirates! 🏴‍☠️

    Just watched some videos from the JV team on YouTube, I didn't realize how much size we had on that team. But we have a few RBs from the JV already moved up to varsity.

    LB - ACL

    Offensive Left Tackle - Broken Fibula

    I absolutely hate hearing about this, especially right when the playoffs are beginning. I heard about the LB, and I told RaiderGirl that during pretty much the first half, I seen him limping and grabbing his knee. Hate that for y'all!

    That was when Rick Culbert was the qb, yep. He was backup qb the year before but mainly played defense and he was darn good at that too. Every so often he'd be on offense for receiver. Great athlete. Dangerous return man. Not ideal for West coast offense. I can only believe that west coast was implemented due to the 7 on 7 success of that group. I would have loved to have this offense with that group. Not saying they had better athletes but it would have been interesting. And the defense from 00-02 ... just game changing. 

    Do you remember what offense Vidor ran between 04-06 before we switched to the Slot T when Haegquist (sp?) was QB?
