Okay, I missed the game Friday so I wanted watch it online before I made any comments. And I just finished. Sad. I feel sorry for the kids that are playing under Rich and his coaching staff. Scott Rich was a quarterback in high school, college and the quarterback coach at Katy, and he doesn't know how to coach up quarterbacks? That should tell everyone reading this what type of coach he is. Lane was the best chance the Dogs had, and now he's down. He will be sorely missed. Sorry Spidesal defense is part of the problem. Coach Wright and Coach Rich evaluating talent. You have big boys on the DL that only have a bull-rush move, and stand straight up when doing so, giving away leverage. If they are that big, and not dominating the tackle and guard in front of them, they are needed on the offensive side of the ball, IMMEDIATELY. The linebackers have never changed. Same group from last year, they are slow and take bad angles. Out of the four of them, I would say Howard really runs to the ball and wants to make contact when he gets there. I would also venture to say the DB's have more tackles than the linebacker crew individually. And for the third level to be leading in tackles is another sign of a weak LB/DL. The DB's have been making big tackles and big interceptions. They saved some big plays from turning into touchdowns. Again they're small so Wright will need to get them some help over the top when he can. Especially against passing teams like PNG & Dayton. They need Ned back at safety. The offense, what can I say - it is Scott Rich getting what he deserves. I just hate that these young men who have worked so hard and believed in him, now have to deal with his karma. Coach Rich is supposed to be the offensive mind, and you see what that got. Gestring should be RB1 with Ned at safety. Bring a couple of them DL over to OL and a few of them LB's over to TE. With a few of the second stringers on the defense they won't lose much intensity. They already give up 25 points a game. They also need more two TE formations, and short play action passes the QB can connect. But for play action to work you have to establish the run......... I know Martinez was solid as a RB last year on JV, I would even try Clay back there just to get the ball in his hands. Probably have to be RB by committee, because they are taking some licks in the backfield soon as they get the handoff. The WR's can catch, they just need someone that can get them the ball. We might as well look forward to the powerlifting season, because that's what they've been training these kids for.........not football. Can I talk about the "parental politics" and corner cutting BigDog? I wanted to stay within the guidelines.

That part. It's obvious too, so it's probably more than a few. If outsiders can see it, they would have to.......or like I suspect: they're turning a blind eye or encouraging it. Either way it sets a bad example for the younger kids coming up. And by promoting and rewarding these kids they are basically telling all the others this is how you move up the depth charts, essentially condoning the behavior & damaging lives. I feel bad for our bullpups and all the kids coming up.

They are again mismanaging the talent they have. Wright is hoarding a lot of players on the defense. Some of those big guys on the D-line need to be playing guard or tackle on the offense, like ASAP. If the linebackers can't tackle, 3-4 defenses don't work. Heck if the linebackers can't tackle, no defense really works. The DB's are getting burnt. They're fast but small. Most jump balls the WR is coming down with it, as our DB just gets pushed away. The offensive line. What can I say. Poor guys....looks like they're trying but they have been getting embarrassed. And where is the tight end in the offensive scheme? The quarterback is good baseball player. He unfortunately throws the football like a baseball most of the times when he is scrambling. Which is a lot due to the weak O-line. He doesn't really have time to throw dimes 30 yards downfield. So let him dump a few quick passes to the TE. Much less the behind the scenes turmoil. They have a lot of kids cutting corners and the coaches are rewarding them for it. Sad. Form of lowbrow manipulation in my opinion. Show these young men Christ more than just talking about it. Because we can always judge a tree by the fruit it bears........... They didn't play spring ball so they wouldn't be able to properly judge the upcoming JV and Freshmen. Well at least on gameplay. You know.....things like the ability to tackle. There is much more to football than 40 times, bench press, squats etc. And from my experience the strongest guy, or the guy with fastest 40 time on the team isn't always the best football player. Good measurable to track team progress but you shouldn't make your depth chart based solely on that........ I'm done. For now. Everybody on Facebook is trying to spray perfume on this crap. Glad they told me about this site.

. Nederland will make the playoffs with the weak district they're in, so that isn't saying much. If they were in the same district as last year it would be hard to go and watch. They'll probably be 0-4/1-3 before district starts. The most painful one is going to be FB Crawford. I predict they will score 50+. WB almost beat themselves. It was obvious they had a better team even with a smaller roster.
