Yes the Bulldogs need to work on tackling badly. Anyone have a clue on the last season that the Dogs had a good secondary?  This group of secondary players are about as poor as you can get. I blame it on the secondary coach. OL is not to swift either and the QB needs a ton of work. But hey they got the win

I saw some good plays made as well by the secondary.  A few mental lapses on coverage and a silly penalty but they did ok.

Not to bad considering #12 and #2 on the sideline, next game will be tough.

Can’t leave the game in the hands of the Officials was the holding call on TD pass legit?

Oline been struggling this year 

Definitely not the Silsbee Teams we have seen play over the years. Injuries and a young Team will always create disadvantages. Glad Ned got the Win but Silsbee gave this game away on numerous plays.

Man I couldn't tell but it was a quick pass to a running back. Our TD to RJ Williams in the end zone was a close call too. 

The long TD Nederland scored after Silsbee was stopped on 4th and 2 really hurt. That was a just a great play call ans execution by them.

Great game Dogs. The refs didn’t throw a flag till 3rd quarter.  Bringing in a receiver to play quarterback was tuff but he stuck with it. Great job.  #8 is fast and needs to be utilized more.  Defense looked great in spurts except the secondary.  They need to get better and play smarter.  Hey we got a win.  No better feeling on a Saturday morning.

If you really observe the game and watched the 1st 2 games, you have to admit how poorly Nederland is coached 

You have way too much arm tackling, you have 2 or 3 players on the kick off team and 2 or 3 in the secondary that avoid contact, the receivers on the kick return team run to much east and west, the OL doesn’t block very good, and the young QB has a ton of work to learn  Let us be reminded that they have a bunch of starters returning and also be reminded that was a weak Silsbee team

On The positive side, I think the RB’s could be good, the receivers are better, and the DL is playing well  It actually looks like they are coached well

After observing these 3 games and watching the play of the secondary, the missed tackles, and the OL, I see it as Crawford 42 Nederland 14

The Clay kid, #8, certainly has some juice, especially for a sophomore.  He is highly explosive and instinctive with the ball in his hands.  He will be getting more manufactured touches

Got some good news and bad news:  After watching Crawford play, it's very likely Nederland will not score.  PNG found out that the center of Crawford's defense is like a rock.  Why PNG kept trying to run up the gut is a mystery.  Anyway, Crawford can be passed on.  Does Nederland have it's passing game clicking that they can take advantage of Crawford's secondary?  Not sure.

Now the good news:  I can see Nederland coming in second in the district.  The only wildcard I see right now is Texas City.  Can Ned beat PNG?  As of right now it's not looking like it.  But they did it 2 years ago.  So...
