He gives him a 10 yard or more cushion....

I don't think NED has to worry so much about LM's offense, though it will be good, but LM seems to always have a pretty stout and aggressive defense. I imagine Mosely will do well against them, but you can't line up and beat them with one person. Hearing they have a good TE is a start, but the QB and line need to have good games, otherwise LM will just pin their ears back and feast.

Personally, I don't think NED will win -- that's not meant to put them down in anyway, it's just that LM is just a very solid team (probably one of the best in 4A). The Dogs may play close, but they'll need to improve pretty dramatically from last year's talent to pull off an upset.

Why not? If the defendant is running a streak only and you're 1/2 second slower than him in 40 yards, you'd better give him a cushion or he'll run right by you.

Granted, good teams with speed will work other pass plays (hitches, comebacks, etc.), but if a player is just running a streak, even I can cover him. :lol:

You push him out of bounds! If there is that much difference in speed, it doesnt matter how far off you play him.

Hell what do we know, we were just two kickers :lol:

When sprinters run 100 yards, you can figure a .5 second difference is about a 5 yard gap. Since nobody is going to throw the ball 100 yards, a 4.8 DB can get within 10 yards of a 4.3 WR's starting position and provide adequate coverage.

Of course, it still won't be nearly as exciting as a 47-yard fg to win a game... :lol:

I think you are right, LaMarque probably will win and if Nederland wins it will be a big upset. Why don't we just line up the defensive backs against the wide receivers and run a race in the stadium. It shouldn't take but a couple of minutes. No need to risk broken bones and wasted two hours if LaMarque's wide receivers can run a 4.3 when Nederland's defensive backs can only run a 4.8. Whichever team is the fastest wins and we can all go home since apparently that is the only key to winning.

Like I said, Nederland probably should not beat LaMarque on September 1st. Nederland sure doesn't line up well with them on paper. Remember this however, Nederland has gone to the playoffs for 10 straight years and has gone past the first round for the last 9 years. I doubt that Nederland was faster than any of the teams in district and almost surely not in the playoffs yet somehow Nederland's slower teams keep winning. They usually make a very good showing in the playoffs including three trips to the quarter finals and one to the semi finals in the last 8 years. No other team in the area has done that.... strange for having a slower team don't you think?

Well' date=' thats all fine and dandy, but yall didnt beat us :lol:[/quote']

That's a fact and WO-S has a substantial lifetime record over Nederland. I don't know that Nederland would ever win a foot race with WO-S but if I remember correctly, we won 4 of the last 5 played. There is no point other than team speed, while good, is not some kind of magical guarantee of a win. Nederland almost never has a D1 player but they sure have beaten a lot of teams that have had several. Speed is great, teamwork can be better.

Actually, WOS and NED are even in the last six games (NED is up 3-2 in the past 5, though). WOS won in 2000, NED won from 01-03, and WOS won in 04 and 05.

NED and WOS share the benefit of having good, stable coaching staffs. We lost a few key members of our coaching squad in 01 and didn't get them back until 04, and you see how much of a difference it made for us. When you talk about how come WOS or NED can win games against teams most people think will beat them, it has to be about good coaching -- getting players to be overachievers.

Going back to my post, I never said speed doesn't matter, I said, Nederland has proven in the past that it has the ability to contain speed defensively. It may or may not happen, that's why you play the game, but it has contained some very fast teams in the past, that's a fact, not conjecture or pumping my team.

As for the last two years with the East Texas boys... that had absolutely NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to do with speed. Those kids from Jacksonville/Kilgore were flat out huge and bullied us on the defensive line... too big and just wore us down. Actually, Nederland should've won the Jacksonville game, just didn't make a couple of plays they normally make and didn't get a few coin flip breaks. They were in the game and the better team in my opinion. We just got hit in the mouth against Kilgore... too big... too strong. Speed was no factor.

Question for you... how does Nederland compete with Ozen if it can't contain speed... how do they compete with WO-S if they can't contain speed?

Didn't they lose to both those teams last year?

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
