Nederland vs. Houston Stratford

[cooligan]

IT'S PLAYOFF FOOTBALL ---- It is time to allow Raines to roll out (where he can see) and throw or tuck and run. If we keep worrying about protecting him for the next game -- The next game will never come. Raines rolling out w/option ( like he did earlier in the year) will give teams fits. The kid has some wheels. He just needs to learn when to get down or cut the run short. I would also like to see us go over the top to Kimmler (6'2" and can dunk a BB). The dbs will only get taller, faster and more skilled up the line. Kimmler brings a physical side no other receiver on the team has. Why are we not using the spectacular TE we keep hearing about? I sure hope we can mix it up more. I am not ready for the season to end. I say Go for Broke or Go Home.

  I agree , roll out, bootleg and run- pass options would help, our drop back passing has not looked good lately. We're not an overpowering offense, we need misdirection, counters and traps with good play action passes, outs from the slot-TE spots and crossing routeswith WR's. Hard to beat a good bootleg with a deep corner route, a 10-15 yd TE out and a short 3-5 yd out from a RB and if nobody is open you have the option to run, JMO.

The only thing wrong with the passing game is it is predictable. GCM did their homework in the film room. Get the running game going and mix in some play action. The flanker screen works if blocked well, but if the play is jumped, it's a pick six. Had a receiver open on a long pass that was interfered with but not called. We can get open, but the running game was moving the ball, so don't get cute with the play calling. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I like a play action roll out with the TE rolling the same direction.....always with the option to run. Remember how well that worked?

Saw the Brenham/Stratford game a week ago in Brenham.Cubs won 28-3 but Spartans were able to throw w/some success but couldn't sustain drives getting swarmed in the backfield.35 seniors/15 jrs on the Spartan roster.Pretty good defense holding Cubs to 28.Good luck to Ned it gets tuffer ea week 8)

[diego cruz]

ned. hasnt stopped rolling qb out. wrs are open,qb isnt good at coming off 1st option & finding the other wr's.dont know who the offensive coaches are in the press box but when u see guys running down field wide open i hope u are telling the off. cord. on the field.4 pass plays the back side or middle wr was wide azz open.qb has to hit those guys & make better decisions or the dawgs are going home sat. nite

[latinladym]

this game should be a good one. hopefully Big Ned's offense will do some damage early and set the tone.  ;D ;D ;D

[GoDogs27]

I know nothing about stratford but ill go 24-10 Dogs

Massey Ratings

Here ya go Dawgs, this is what you wanted....

HStratford 14 - Ned 26 Final

[liltex]

Pulled for Ned all year but undecided on this pic but think it will be closer than Massey rating.Dawgs by 3 if they play 4 qtrs 110% 8)

[robanadana]

No problem for the Dogs as they advance; Ned 24, Stratford 14. Dogs defense on this one.

[GoDogs27]

Defense has bailed us out all year with the exception of one game. The offense need to show up and make some plays. Raines has to find his receivers when they are open. If the passing game comes together, look for Big Ned to make some noise..

[BrenhamFan]

Nederland 28
Stratford  24

[Monkeynuts]

I agree Brenham Fan- Stratford not enough for Ned
  Nederland-28 Stratford-14

[phunter308]

DOGS will be just fine first game back for all the starting defense and they looked good but can get better. Offense will be better. They had an off night . Carson will lead the team and get them back rolling. I think the play book was narrowed down for GCM in order that we have some surprises down the road. Stratford got a big QB and fairly decent Defense, but of the game film Brock and I have watched, we have a really good chance. Just control both lines of scrimmage.

[ForeverADog]

If Ned plays like they did against Goose Creek then I think they get beat. this is a better team and Ned can't be flat!

[BMTSoulja1]

I like this matchup.  Nederland with a team with no real stars.  They do it as a team with notthing but field position and good interior defense with great coaching.  This is a nightmare matchup for opposing teams and will give Stratford fits.  I have Big Ned by 10 points.

[andrew24b]

Nederland by 25 points

[BigNed08]

Does anybody know if Brett Brown will be playing this week????

[BellBiz30]

Nederland 33 Stratford 31

[bigd92]

Big Ned Keeps getting it done no matter if the defense is carriying the load. Go Dogs!!! bring home a victory.

Couldn't agree more. I think we'll open it up more the deeper we go. I think we had the first game in hand and we didnt want to do too much, ya know. Nederland will roll in this one 28-17. GO DOGS!

#55 Brock Pryor. He's a beast.

[latinladym]

I totally agree...they should let Raines go and give him a little freedom and use his wide outs as decoys and go to his tide end!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nederland by 2 TDs!
