1-7 to State Regional finalist with one move in who's father was a coach. A healthy Landry and the Bears had a chance to play in Dallas. To my knowledge there's only been two additions to the varsity roster who were not already on the team the prior year. One was approved locally and the other one was approved by the state. The one that required State approval was signed off by his previous head coach but the local group of coaches abstained from voting hence it had to go to state where it received a 5-0 approval. I know you're kind of joking but you're kind of demeaning all the hard work these kids put in over the summer and the hundreds of hours of film study and work the coaches have done. Please don't make unsubstantiated claims. Rumors are like buttholes, everyone has them but these kind stink like Taco Bell. There are a ton of people that lurk on here.

Correct. And if you have a monster at that nose guard position, it allows those speedy athletic linebackers to wreck shop. I love the 50 defense. Always have and always will.

Jeez. It's not like these two teams have never started off 0-2.

Good to know. I've been trying to spread it around in the preseason. Probably tighten up a lil more with district games. Gotta add that 2a d1 to the mix now as well. Its actually more work than I thought. Todd was master of all this. Picks, schedules, scores, multiple sports at the same times. That man never stopped.

Yes it seems that we had poor coverage on right side of our defense, that needs adjustment. So true that the running back at LCM is top notch, one we may not see one like him again for awhile. Overall, I'm impressed with how the Mustangs kept their composure when they were behind 20-8 and rallied back to win.

So there's hope for us after all

I was about to post this group's 7th grade roster from 5 yrs ago and compare it to this years roster to prove a point! lmao

There will still be the group that no matter what moves or made by any head coach will give negative criticism. Already was a post negative about moving #12 to QB. Damned if you Do, Damned if you Don’t”. Even Neuman & Faircloth had constant criticism in their best years.

I dont see him leaving he transferred his kids to lcm. His wife is a lcm graduate and all is family lives in OC

Some people just can’t accept what a new culture and hard working kids can do. LCM isnt supposed to be good so they must be doing something wrong or cheating/recruiting. According to some folks.

You are correct in that regard.

But per fans the sky is falling

Unfortunately. Despite promises to the contrary. The one thing you shouldn't screw with here got screwed with. I'll reserve saying too much. Maybe they know better than a future Hall Of Famer.

If we can reduce 7 pics a game to down to 0 that would be nice.. lol

Thread getting close to being deleted. Keep it within site rules. It’s a topic that has merit, but we’re getting into the gray area of the rules already, and trending in the wrong direction. Keep it civil.

I'm just here so I don't get fined.

If you have a team - any team - say North Shore - and they aren’t blocking & tackling, will changing their offense help? This isn’t a trick question. The team I saw against Silsbee wasn’t blocking or tackling. The Spread, Slot T, Wishbone, I formation- doesn’t matter. Now I’m no Coach or a football guru, so if I’m wrong, please point out where I’ve gone astray. If NS can win not doing those two things, please explain how. Once Vidor starts doing those two things & they’re still getting beat, then we can talk about which offense they ought to use.

Everyone on the varsity roster has been on that team for the last 4 years. Send me a personal message and tell me because i promise you have that wrong. If we had WB transfers they didnt help us against wos lol

Come on man. What wos and Wb player are you talking about?

Remember, 95% of electric cars are still on the road. The other 5% made it back home.

Since you asked. In the past, Todd and I always had games in the pickems that had both teams in our coverage area. Those games took priority over games that had only one team in our coverage area. Less criticism that way. It's your gig, do as you please.

I think they are too. I was wondering about the QB replacement, but it looks like they have not missed a beat. Peevey is the man in that respect. Hopefully both go farther! GL!

We’ll see what PNG looks like this week against another team who can execute plays at the varsity level? Lots of mistakes on offense and lots of guys out of position on defense during the PAM game. It was very impressive what PNG was able to do to BU’s personnel but I think PNG needs to get through this week before you can really start to estimate a trajectory for them. BU is a 5A level HISD football team and that may be doing a disservice to Houston Madison. PNG dispatched them exactly how they should’ve if they’re going to be a good team this year. During the summer I said I would be interested to see if PNG offense looked more like Katy’s or SLC’s? I said one place I thought PNG had been well above average recently was the offensive line and that a Katy style offense might highlight that. Well not only does it look like Katy, they’re running the patented zone play from under center that they’ll eventually throw the play-action off of. It’s also a staple play for Carthage. I eventually expect them to start running the crack-toss and the toss counter which are the other staple plays of Katy and Paetow. One thing I saw in both games is that PNG still needs to get better at tackling in space and sticking with guys in the secondary. They probably have the personnel to make a real run at a district championship though. #19 for PNG is a baller but Prosperie is still PNG’s best offensive weapon. For whatever reason he kind of seems like an afterthought in PNG’s new offense. That being said, that’s a hard point to argue when you put up 49. Again though, you want to see them do it against a competent team.

Thats true. I think LCM is better then last year. But good luck on the season. Hopefully both teams can make farther then last year

Air Force Flex Bone.......

But lots of people love Taco Bell.

Yes sir, and it also allows you to bring more pressure off the edge when you have speed. Stop the run, control the pass.

Yes it would have if u knew how w.o ran it.its designed to put pressure off the edge with speed.more pressure on the QB.to read and react.but, LCM play calling was great the whole game.and tackling and penalties w.o has to get better at.u can't have abt 100yds in penalties and expect to beat gud teams.they got lucky to get away with them against LCM.

Crosby still had 6 starters out against FBM.

I remember it was at the old Reservation with the grass field. I THOUGHT WOS won because they recovered the fumble in the end zone. To a laymen like myself I didn't understand the rule that if a players fumbles the ball Inside the 5 and it travels into the end zone the same player has to recover the fumble. If another player recovered the fumble then it's a touch back for the other team. I remember you could hear a pin drop for 5 minutes while the refs discussed the play. I couldn't understand why they were even discussing it and why Matt Burnett was so animated down near the end zone by the refs. I though WOS won. I also remember we could barely move the ball on the Stangs and we were able to score thanks to a few timely runs by Jay Musser from the QB position. Which was not something that was normal for that offense that season.

What BHFAN said is spot on. At least limit their scrambling QB and they don't have anything else, Dayton wins. Good luck Dayton.

The B. Faircloth coached Sulpher Springs Wildcats 2-0

You are exactly right. Faircloth and PNG had some down years then went on a terror for several seasons. Nederland had 2 rough patch years just like what they are going through then ran through district undefeated for a few years… I trust the process. Sometimes I scratch my head at calls but I trust barrow and company to get them ready for district play

I'm just saying it's too early to make any call. If this Mustang defense ends up giving up an average of 20 points or more this season, then the change to 4-2-5 can definitely be questioned. I think some folks are going to realize just how good this LC-M team will be come playoff time.

Didn't the Mustangs pitch a shutout in week 1?

Why is this a thread?

Oh I know, don’t get me started. It’s a prize position that didn’t pan out and they forcing it to try and make it work. IMO Move the sophomore to QB1 and the other guy to a TE position… but I don’t make the big bucks to make that call.

That's on Barrow.

Poll added... who u got?

Ohhh come on lol... When people say they hope to "win state," are they ever talking semis? If so, we've "won state" eight times. 😂

Then get off the forum - that's what this is you big silly!

Such a stupid topic. Don't really care to hear the opinions of wannabe keyboard sideline coaches who probably never played a down of football in their lives, and probably learned everything about football from YouTube and tiktok. Maybe make a living as a coach before acting like you have answers.

LCM has done a good job of "recruiting" WB & WOS players...

Josh Foster from Newton at TCU Darwin Barlow from Newton at USC

When did Silsbee go to state?

The people at Biden’s rally were probably paid to attend and listen to his gibberish.

This game will be a god indication of our coaching staff and their ability to game plan. The passing game we used last week, will be non existent against WOS. Defensively WOS will play tight and bring pressure, you won’t see a CB playing 10 yards off the ball. I’m anxious to see how this shakes out. For PNG to win, I think it will need to be a strong performance by the O Line, Tommy will need to run for 100+ yards, and no turnovers on the PNG side, if we can do that, and make it a competitive game, we have a shot to win in the end. If we turn the ball over, as we did against Memorial, it will be a long night.

What game were you watching. Your team only had 45 total yard penalties should have been more. I'm not the only one who saw the refs take away 2 points when we were clearly in the end zone. The refs made some bad calls PERIOD!
