The offensive scheme is real basic and predictable. Larry Neumann's teams were light years more advanced. Delbert Spell's defense was much more aggressive and disciplined. Those days are gone. It's back to the Bulldogs of the 70s and 80s.

I know it's not looking good so far.  But let's wait until district and see what happens.  Holding the WOS running back to 103 yards is not bad.  Offense does need some work.

The defense has come along fine...offense well you said it need to get the ball in the hands of Gestring im also impressed with the play of the sophomore Clay i still think we make the playoffs im not ready to write us off just yet

From a long time Mustang perspective. This Nederland team is nowhere close to what I'm used to seeing from the Dogs. Mental errors, poor execution, turnovers, penalties, overall sloppy play? These are NOT characteristics of the Neumann era Dogs. You could always bet they were going to be sound. They weren't gonna beat themselves, turn the ball over, have stupid penalties. You knew they would be disciplined and prepared and you'd have to be the same to get a win. Not that way now from what I see.

Defense was not the problem vs WOS. The DL played pretty good, the LB ‘ers played hard, they are just slow, and the  secondary is the same as the past several seasons, extremely poor  They must have the worst secondary coaches in southeast Texas

The offense is the major problem. The QB threw well from 1-5 yards, but couldn’t throw longer than that. They have not had a good QB in a long time. The last 2 were good athletes, just simply not QB’s. They could have been good receivers or running backs. The receivers look a little better this year. I couldn’t tell if the RB’s are any good because the OL is absolutely horrible. I am not sure they blocked anyone the entire game vs WOS

IMO they will be 3-7 if the OL doesn’t improve quickly

with Neds 5a Roster size,  the fact Tigers are missing Def starters , and this team is still trying to find its rythem on offense, I'm going with Ned by two T D' s. JMO

But, I could be wrong

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.

Martinez is still on JV he's one of the RBs that should be brought up to varsity
