Cougtalk

We find out if Nederland are pretenders or contenders this weekend. But an overtime Fumble win over BH, and a 1 point loss to PNG have me believing they are just about as good as those two squads. I think they are getting better as the season goes which is exactly what you want to see in Nederland. But they are facing the team that hasn't been challenged in district. Will Nederland give Crosby a challenge? Maybe. What should we expect? Another game where the cougars roll over DII 12-5a opponents. Crosby 55-14 Nederland

cornerbacks also aren't the fast kids that couldn't catch the ball anymore. Your DB's need ball skills because winning that 50/50 ball is now priority.

Texan Lives "BEST offense in the district" not looking very good tonight.

You'll be asking yourself that question about 10:30PM.

I mean you will be in this one. Eagles gonna put yall to task.

While I think that's true there no guarantee we can beat that second round opponent at this point. I mean they will likely only have one loss to Texas high coming into the second round. Second Round is going to be super tough for anyone who makes it out of round 1 in our district.

Nah, BH, PNG, and Nederland are the games Crosby has circled every year because for these last years those have been the teams that decided who's in and who's out in the district. When we had Manvel and FB Marshall sitting waiting in round 1 that 2-3 matchup mattered even more. Cougars aren't thinking they have this they need to play solid football but so far they've been focused and disciplined even in a potential let down game after the big win over BH.

You literally run a Zone/Zone Read/Fake Zone read on every big play. That's your one trick.

Nederland is a one trick pony, cannot teach old dogs new tricks, dogs get run in this one. BH won't give up 21.

2nd round we would get the #2 out of Texas High's district not Texas high. Round 3 we get Marshall. Regardless it's not a good area of the bracket to be in and R3 for 5AD2 seems like a gauntlet.

I think it's like 42-0 42-7 at half and we do what we've been doing saving Branch and the others in second half. Texas High is going to be a rough challenge no matter what.

NDN's discussing how to beat Willowridge lose big but coaching staff indicates they were watching Willowridge film during the game anyways. Disclaimer: Definitely not on IPADS in the press box.

Crosby 42-14 over PNG, cold hard lock.

Yea, the offense also seems to have days where it's 4-5 yards a carry/catch nothing really gets behind the defense. But with how good that defense has been lately you can see them just giving the offense a ton of opportunities to score. If Crosby and PNG are both driving the ball and trading points that would favor PNG, I don't see that happening, I see many turnovers caused in the game. Winner gets a likely 1st round matchup with an HISD school. Also BH defense is worlds better than PNG's.

You play Willowridge in 1st round. The only other semi-competent team for the Marshall district.

This one isn't going to be close. Nederlands one trick pony offense is about to get blasted. BH had their wake up call early against Crosby and seems to have cleaned up that O-line a bit. Unless yall got a D1 nose tackle that will eat BH's center alive all game like Crosby's did then this ones a sure thing no doubt 100% Eagle win. Eagles 42 - 14 Nederland and that's a cold hard lock.

He did it to BH, Dayton as well. Only team so far been able to sort of block him was Manvel.

maybe, I'd love to believe it but who knows

yea, I'm not sold we are "That good" I just think our district might suck.

Just for the record watching this is like watching a gas station CCTV. They should have let Texan Live carry this game

Got to Keep that intensity up for second half, even as second string comes in need to prove you want a spot on the team.

So funny thing is with COVID the idea of Crosby playing in December seems far more reasonable then when the statement was made.

I've placed the Cougtalk curse on PNG. They will win by 100, no chance at all that KWP can win this game. PNG too good, it's just not going to happen.

24 Points given up in 4 district games? Rut roh The Cougars play defense. They won by how much? Cougars rolling through 12-5a D2 The fumble heard round the Triangle! Nederland coughs up game ending fumble as Dayton wins on a fumble recovery as time expires. Friday the 13th? Spells bad luck for the NDN's , 4 picks in loss to Kingwood Park.

I don't know the by X is going to be, but i wonder if we can completely shut them down their offense. I'd like to see the cougars come to play like this team is Fort Bend Marshall not like they are Texas City. They need to treat every opponent with the respect we gave BH if we can replicate that type of game we can beat damn near anybody in d2. But we aren't good enough to cruise on teams, we need to have the mentality that we have to take it from each and every opponent.
