Mosley On Fire!!


KFDM COOP

Recommended Posts

I was at the game and was wondering the same thing. Why leave him in? It just did not make sense. He was kicking off' date=' returning kicks, playing offense, and defense. Give the kid a break.[/quote']

Didn't see him much on defense last night, he might have return 2 punts early.

It's a fine line I believe Coach Nuemann is using with Mosley. Sit the young man hoping he stays healthy for district or reward him with playing time because he's missed so many games for prior injuries.

Folks need to get off the "Why don't the coaches take Mosely out..." bangwagon. Bottom line is, he will be on the field for the majority of games against Central, PNG, Ozen... playoffs... so he needs to get used to it. Nederland goes about 18-20 players deep this year, so Mosely will be used abundantly, that's just the facts. Say what you want about it, but Neumann is doing his job in getting him ready for those games. The only way you get your body ready to do that... is to actually do that... so let's put this drivel to rest. Mosely will be playing ALOT... period.

Oh by the way, you ask him if he wants to come out... he's worked his rear end off in ways most high school kids never would even begin to... he deserves to do what he is doing.

There's a little difference when you suit out a total of 24 players vs. however many NED is suiting out this year. Mosely is a great athlete, and there is no doubt he will excel no matter where or how often you play him, but I think with a roster size like you all have, Neumann would've played a few backups with a 31 point lead in the second half, if for no other reason to give them a little extra playing time. I don't think there's anything negative about that.

I believe that is Hook's decision to only suit up 24. I'm sure he could pull some up from JV to suit out more????? Or are they not good enough for Varsity?? Nederland is VERY thin on the varsity level this year! Sure, Neumann could bring some kids up, but we're not talking about #'s here, we're talking about talent. Nuemann, just like Hooks, is going to put the best player on the field, no matter if that means some guys playing both ways.

Of course, my answer is that if the JV players were good enough to play varsity football, they'd be suited out for Friday nights, but also because of the amount of kids in the program (there aren't that many on the WOS JV, either), we really don't have the ability to just take a bunch of players to use as backups and still have a JV team.

I think Neumann is doing exactly what he has to do to win -- Mosley is a two-way starter simply because he's the best player at those two positions. I've been very impressed with Neumann's ability to spot talent and play them at the positions where they can make the most impact, so there is no questioning his judgment whatsoever. Admittedly, I don't know the varsity roster size at NED -- I'm just going on what I remember them generally having and based my statement on that; however, with a small roster, Mosely will have to play a lot on offense and defense, unless someone comes along that's better than or as good as him at his starting positions. As athletic as he is, I don't know if that'll happen anytime soon, though.

I think Ned's entire defense has been a pleasant surprise. They contained LaMarque to an extent... Ned's offense had a long run of 3 and out's that kept them on the field, yet they only gave up a couple of long runs. For the most part they got after it pretty good. They were dominant against FB... as they should've been. D. Johnson and the entire front four of Ned are very solid.

    • It’s not “smart,” it’s reading comprehension. TVC (who I was responding to) has gone on the record on the other post about Phelan stating “hopefully” in regards to Phelan losing his speakership.    For and educated person (and educator, to boot), that’s a pretty ignorant sentiment, in my opinion anyways. Gone are the days of Jack Brooks, Carl Parker, etc… when you expected your local representation to “bring home the bacon.”  I’d like to point out another politician from SETX with as much clout as Phelan HAD in the Texas lege, but I can’t, because we’ve never been fortunate enough to have one.    And smart local people are saying “hopefully” he loses his job, to our local detriment, because of Trump, Paxton, Abbott, Patrick, and every other yayhoo, NOT FROM HERE, that wanted Phelan to stop thinking for himself.    I’d like to hear from this educator of lawmen, hopefully unbiased and incorruptible… what do you think of the allegations of wrongdoing on the part of “Our General,” as the Rs like to say, Ken Paxton? Would you take the directive of politicos who told you to sit down and NOT investigate at risk of your job? 
    • I don’t think this was the instructions given by the judge.  At least from what I have heard.
    • That is incorrect. They had to be unanimous on all counts. They had to agree unanimously that the falsification was to hide another crime. They did not have to agree unanimously that it was particular crime. That’s the law in New York. Applied equally to all defendants committing such felonies. 
    • How does a judge’s jury instructions saying they did not have to be unanimous on all counts not get this overturned?  Corruption at its finest.
    • I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.
