Even the situational use is more than we did under the last coach. Reid Richard barely came off the field in the playoffs during the 2023 season. And, when there is situational use, it’s clear the player has been trained well even in their temporary role. 

That is true, but you will not see a two way starter under Joseph. Reid Richard played at most 10 offensive snaps a game in 2023.

You don’t have to call him a “starter” - The idea is Joseph is willing to use his tools on both sides of the ball when needed.

Darth is hitting all the points on what I’m trying express…  Don’t recall to many straight 2 way starters and Never coming off the field.. but there is some kids that could be plugged in when we need a big stop/extra pass rush to offensive side with short yardage need that 1-3 yards, extra blocker on the line (jumbo package) and etc.. these are pure examples but things that need to be addressed. 
 

Like the elephant in the room Nederland needs to find a quality running back to get #10 a breather and not run him to the ground…

I agree. If you have special players. Let them play where it helps the team when needed.

A long time ago a coach told me that you always want your best players on the field at all time.  Which obviously make sense.  Last year for Nederland, Tezeno played both ways and did a good job.  Not sure of anyone else.  I know Thomas went in on defense on long yardage passing downs.  But, you did want him full time on defense.

My point exactly.. it’s the bye week. Hopefully they are adjusting and possibly trying some new things out. There is 3 weeks of game film on tape against quality opponents. If nothing changes basketball will come early in Nederland.

Neuman was all for playing the skilled guys both ways...It's tougher on the big guys, normally situational for them.

Big facts!

 

Btw: I seen that man switch up his offense 3 straight seasons to accommodate his talent pool and was successful.

I know this thread has been derailed but still good discussion. 

Last week vs LaPorte... #9 Ruffin was playing both ways, LB and RB. On defense he was taking a beating from LT Wolford when he wasn't making plays. By the 4th Quarter he spent a lot of time on the sidelines looking worn down.

Coaching is a skill.  You have to know when to rest certain players, no matter how good they are.  Especially the big guys.
