Raider24 Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 Great season Vidor! My hats off to them boys for what they were able to accomplish this season. We all know what we have 2 do over the next 9 months. Looking forward to next season and some great district battles. Hagar 1
Hagar Posted November 13, 2021 Report Posted November 13, 2021 There was talk from District 9 folks of a sweep. I felt the Bears would win & Vidor was 50-50. And although Ltown & Huffman didnβt win, they kept it pretty close for much of the game. I thought Dist 10 teams represented well. Again, easily the best four weβve sent forward in maybe forever. And next year should be even better. Two teams with new Coaches, Ltown & LCM. Ltown young. Vidor with two undefeated JV teams. Huffman always competitive. Iβll say right now, those four will be in the playoffs next year. Sweep? How about a Dist 10 sweep in the 2022 season. exsoftballplayer 1

Live and die with what got you there, asking the QB to execute through the air wasnβt smart. You're putting it all on his shoulders, literally. Not one of those pass plays were even close to working, 1st down covered incomplete, 2nd down sacked, 3rd down low pass incomplete flag illegal man downfield, 4th down overthrown intercepted. None of your best players touched the ball in a meaningful way on the final series in your last drive of the season. Ah well on to next year I guess, just had to let that final complaint go unheard lol. It was a blast doing some play by play on here for you guys and following this special team this season. I only wish it could have lasted a couple more weeks. Expand One last time BB (I donβt want you to get the Big Head), you did a fantastic job of posting the play by play. Even the few times I watched the game on my iPad, when something extraordinary happened that I didnβt see or understand, Iβd get my iPhone and check out your comments for an explanation. Hope we get to do it again next year. Btw, I saw an ad for The Thumbulator, a device to exercise those two appendages. Hope you get one to prepare for next season. πβ οΈπβ οΈπ

We have got to spend the off-season in the weight room! Lindaleβs line play had our D-Line into our LBβs all night. Now it didnβt help any having the injuries we have and this week losing our starting safety, but excuses aside it wouldnβt have mattered when the LOS gets moved 3-4yds every play. Havenβt seen any of the Vidor or LCM game yet, but the difference is @ the LOS. You donβt notice the size on the film as you do in person. Off season, off-season, off-season!

Cougar14.2 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Posted November 14, 2021 Good season Vidor, canβt call it great because no matter the Pirates history when you play from the 1-hole you need to win your playoff game, period. Injuries suck, but theyβre a part of the game and if youβre going to run that type of offense then those rb injuries are going to be waaaayyyy more impactful than the will be for other teams. Iβm sure one of your Pirate fans can correct me on the particulars but Iβve been on here since 2011 and I donβt remember Vidor having a defense as stiff as they did this year in a decade? I donβt care what your history says, you hold Jeff Riordan and those level athletes to 25 points youβre supposed to win the game, period. Much like when Liberty Hill won their state titles, Vidor is the big boy on the block now. Weeks ago I talked about Vidor at the line of scrimmage and if you go back and look at the two long runs CHβs qb made, thatβs where Vidor lost it. Even when the Pirates were bad in 5A they had better offenses than the one they do now on the regular. If you canβt drop down a class and consistently put 35+ on hood competition then it may be time to revisit what you have going? Yβall arenβt the little kids trying to make up for a talent deficiency anymore. piratevillain 1

Now turn on the film and look at LH on the offensive and defensive line. Theyβre completely different in their class vs what Vidor is in theirs, not to mention the level of athlete they have at other positions.

If you run that type of offense you typically donβt put up those kind of points against a good defensive team. That offense eats up too much clock. On a occasion you can put up 50 plus points against weak defenses. Since he came on this thread with his criticisms I would love to see the blue print for offensive success for the Vidor program. Please be specific that way if any of the Vidor coaches are following this thread theyβll know what to do.

Expand I find it amusing that for as long as I can remember youβve been on this forum trashing the slot - t offense calling it a dinosaur offense. Then when that offense drops 60 in the State Semi Finals on your team you change your tune and excuses. I believe Vidors unathletic kids are 2 and 2 when playing Crosby but I digress. The Vidor Coaches are waiting for your blueprint for Offensive success. Hagar 1

Yβall arenβt the little kids trying to make up for a talent deficiency anymore. Expand The defense has been very solid for several seasons consecutively. Now the offense has been either underwhelming or inconsistent in recent history. This year was better than last season but kind of stalled at the end when we lost our best backs. Too predictable? Yea probably. Donβt pass enough? Yea probably. Crazy that they surprised everyone and threw the ball on every down on the last drive of the season and we were all like wtfβ¦ Why didnβt we run it? How do you address the problems above? Well there are plenty of Vidor fans calling for changes and some have made it crystal clear what they want in this very thread. Cougar14.2 1
