Now I feel stupid giving CISD $14.00. Btw... smallest visitor stands since the Livingston games. Sort of pathetic.

Time?

Come on defense

Sloppy game?

Didn't realize only WOS played in the rain...

Great run Indians. Way to represent. It will take a major miracle for a GT 5a team to touch a state championship trophy. The metro teams are just too stacked.

Hurts is tearing it up in Bama... I wish RJ luck, but good RPO QBs are common place now.

I know right. James Brown had a magnificent Pro career post UT...

First time held under 32 all season. Maybe they just read the Blue Print a little better than PNG and Crosby?

I graduated in 1992. The running joke was there something in the water that stunted our growth. Lol. But seriously, Vidor plays as a team and if natural talent isn't present you coach them to their greatest potential. I refuse to believe we don't have the talent to coach up a QB and a few pairs of hands. TE and slant routes can open up the Linebackers and make the Slot T more effective. At Cy Lakes, we began spread with read option. But we started more misdirection and it helped the running game. That was 5 years ago but offenses have to evolve. JM of course knows this. He is an amazing motivator and leader. I just don't know why we don't at least try.

100% agree my friend.

We do a great job of doing that. Even our Pee Wee teams run the Slot. You are definitely right it won't change over night. But evolving and tweaking the offensive must be a constant. Identifying potential arm talent early and experiment with different plays at the JH, Fresh, or JV levels. Vidor is a small town with only one Junior high feeding the HS. It's gives them an advantage over largers schools because the coaching staff will know the future players much better. Since these kids eat, sleep, and dream about the Slot plays they can deviate a little from it. Heck, line up in the Slot and motion into 3 or 4 wide just to make the other team call a timeout. The other defenses are not playing their normal allotment of DBs and there will be mismatches. When the opponent can line up 10 DL and LB within 10 yards of the ball and between the hash marks, you're asking a lot.

The defense played most of the game because this was their statline: COMP: 24 ATT: 34 PCT: 70.6 YDS: 238 TD: 2 INT: 0 70+% completion rate at HS level is huge. You cannot effectively blitz dink and dunk passing attacks. We had 280 total yards. We got outplayed plain and simple. If wins came from the hearts of the players, we'd be undefeated. We just cannot defend an offense we can't duplicate in practice. It's why the Slot is so effective against teams that rarely see it. I love Matthews, but it's a disservice to the kids and community to not give the kids all the tools to be successful. We have to start some spread option or different formations in include passing. Run slants or put in two tight ends. When we do try to pass, it's often to one wide out in double coverage. The Slot is all about deception, utilize it. Other Slot teams around Texas have started to open their playbook more. It needs to happen in Vidor as well.

I love my Pirates but we will always struggle against proficient passing attacks. It's practically impossible to prepare for an offensive you don't usually run.
