Total                    63/251 yards                         55/399 yards

I thought Ned had more rushing yards.....

I have some kin folk playing for Ned

#55 at Nose

Everytime he was out of the game, WB made chunk plays on offense

Something for the Ned defensive coaches to consider going forward

5 sacks of the QB will hurt the rushing yards. The last 3 plays from scrimmage by Nederland were all negative yards. -19

Nederland had 16 plays that totaled -55 yards.

its the first game of the season, most teams aren't going to look great.  Lets see if there is improvement next week before making judgements.

Pretty much what the non-district games are for is figuring out what works and doesn't and adjusting and getting the right personnel in place.  There have been years that Ned was 0-3 in district and went three rounds deep in the playoffs.  They have a pretty tough non-district so they are getting some good experience against other good teams in the area.

Yep. WO-S is always a tough one.  Silsbee will be too.

You are correct… 3-4 year’s ago in week 3 WOS took PNG to OT losing 26-20.. WOS ended up getting blown out in bi district and PNG went on to win a state championship. Crazy

I keep hearing that the talent is there for Nederland. If that is the case, why is the performance so poor?  The defense is supposed to be good this season and you give up 300 yards rushing.  Are they simply underachievers?  Anyone’s thoughts on why their performance is poor?

[Ned N9]

Hearing rumors that one of the bulldog’s free safeties is potentially out for the season. If this is the case, this is the perfect time to move Ned back to FS (his former position) and let Gestring take over the bulk of the RB work. Ned could and should definitely still be involved in the offense for situational downs and specific formations. If the coaches cannot recognize this opportunity then shame on them.

You don’t make your players fit your offense. You build your offense around the strength of your players.

So you are saying WB has lost roughly 380 kids basically over 1 summer…? So what school(s) grew? 

Transferred to schools with open enrollment, home school, private schools, etc. Not wanting to deal with the TEA takeover

[A BUC 77]

First game. Sorry I missed it.  Sounds like they were competitive against a larger school.  We’ll see what they have next week.  Go Dogs!

Guestring should be RB1 anyway.

The unfortunate part is Nederland has Scott Rich and Wright. They don't know how to lead young men, much less put a winning program together. 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.

Coach Rich & Coach Wright. 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. I don't think they want to play for Coach Stoker or Rich.

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.

The craziest part is the hollow christianity thing Coach Rich always speaks about. I guess he thinks because he tells people, he's "leading these young men to Jesus" that he won't be judged for his coaching performance. 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.
