Cougar14.2

I've been trying to do some stuff for out North Americas T/A group and didn't have time to post last week and won't really after today when our Canadian advisors come in. I didn't want to be accused or have any Crosby fans accused of not showing up after a loss. If I didn't post anything I'm sure I would be accused of not taking the loss well also so it's a catch 22. On a side note, I never understood why people think you should be a gracious loser? I want people on my side who are pissed about coming up short to a one man band for the second time in a row.

Nobody on PNG's roster playing wr was better than Jerimiah Rose. It's very hard to get an economics degree if struggle with comprehension and not a single word you used is one I would consider "big". I don't care where you're from, you support WOS. I'm not from Crosby and my kids may go to North Shore for a while but if I post about Crosby I expect replies like from people who are opponents of the team.

You ain't lying. I just paid over $50k to buy me a new tank to fit my head in. It's hard to clean wave grease off the suede in those foreign luxury vehicles. On a serious note, while I was in Vidor I saw your career and technology center a*k*a* the welding shop. Just as a head's up there will be a lot of work happening at Baytown refineries in the next couple of years. Guys will be able to skip the bumper pull and go straight to the double-wide if they have the drive.

PNG hasn't had the best qbs in the area for the past 10 years, I'll give you three. Crosby ran through the squad with the PNG qb that broke the passing records at the time even with the best receiver PNG has had in their history. Every starting qb at Crosby since 2009 except Tristan Cotton has signed an FBS scholarship, not to play qb but that gives you an idea of how asinine that statement sounds. I can probably name 10 kids off the top of my head in the coverage area over the last decade that were better than anything PNG rolled out there before RJ. LOL, you do realize Heard was an elite 11 qb, right? You know you can google this stuff, right? Like I said, if you were a good enough coach I'm sure there was a job that was MUCH more profitable than what WOS was paying you. Nobody thought high enough of you to offer it to you though. There are plenty of coaching jobs that pay what you make now. If you were a state winning player you probably played in the 80's which means you have to be close to 50 and judging from your use of punctuation your current job doesn't involve much literacy. I may not be bringing much but you sure can't stop responding to it.

PNG held Huntsville to 31 points and their defense is probably more garbage than Crosby's. It's a completely different matchup with Crosby and Huntsville because we can run the ball from the rb position and most of our receivers can beat man coverage. PNG solely relies on RJ making plays with his legs to keep the offense moving. A prime example is PNG only being able to score 24 points on TC last year because of how they defended RJ, Crosby probably gets 40+ on them because they would need more than 7 in the box to defend the run game. It's all matchups, especially in the playoffs.

WOS probably has to lowest education standards of any team covered on this board, odd someone from there would be calling anybody else a "meat head". Obviously if you "were" a coach you weren't a very good one if you couldn't sustain a living doing it. Almost everything you said in your post is wrong. PNG wasn't really calling plays fast and they're not physical at all, the rb could barely get out of the backfield until the 4th quarter when Crosby had to play the pass more because of the time on the clock. There is no downhill run game because the running backs aren't good and the o-line is big but doesn't get movement particularly well. Every play that isn't an RPO is a play-action raise up and throw to the primary receiver or take off and run. His eyes always come down which is why he threw that awful pick into double coverage, we would've had a couple more if our dbs could catch. He would get sacked a lot more behind that offensive line if he didn't. If any of that stuff you said was true about PNG's offense they wouldn't have lost to a Tomball team that wont even make the playoffs in their district without him, otherwise your post is saying RJ is the only reason any of that stuff works. If anything PNG has become even more reliant on RJ than they were his sophomore year. PNG ran exactly what Crosby practiced for which is the qb run in about 70% of critical situations, much like Heard if you take his legs away he probably can't beat you from the pocket. I don't think that has any bearing on being great in college but may be reasons that have plagued other run first qbs in college.

Considering what's going on with the staff cuts in the school district I will be extremely proud of these kids if they are able to post another 10 win season. Luckily we can probably just outscore the rest of the teams in the district if we figure out the defensive situation.

The vast majority of those matchups were pre-1999 when PNG was a factor and Crosby was still a stop on 90 before the changing landscape of current times. Efficiency in refining technology caused that area over there to contract and the suburbs to explode which is why most of the 5A schools winning or competing for state championships now weren't even open then. It is what it is, we lost two years in row to one player. If you want to be good that can't happen.

Yeah, and so does damn near every qb in the state who runs a fast paced spread offense. I never saw him audible out of anything that was signaled in from the sideline. Either way "Check with me's" at the line of scrimmage in fast paced offenses are as common as changing the snap count. RJ's two plays are probably "run the play that's called or run it myself", that's nothing like what Card does at Lake Travis.

Once again you keep outlining my point. PNG is nothing without RJ, you say "if" he had all of Crosby's player he wouldn't lose in the first. Yet if PNG didn't have him they wouldn't even make it to the first round to lose. See the difference? I'm not "hurt" by anything dude, I have a great time every Friday night watching my son do his thing win or lose. Crosby has a hard time stopping mobile qbs in general. PNG just happens to have on now just like New Caney, Ridge Point and Marshall did when we lost to them. We have a systemic issue, but guess what. RJ graduates next year and PNG is back to being PNG of the last two decades, Crosby's classes are full of "all those players" for the foreseeable future.

You must not have read anything I said? I just said Card is committed to Texas and is another Austin area golden child like Ehlinger. I said Hornsby was the best prospect out of the state since Luck, none of those other guys are from Texas. Mond is already a sophomore and Hornsby doesn't enroll until 2020, if Foster turns into a player there's no guarantee Hornsby gets any time to develop before he may transfer since they would be so close in age. Like you said, all this information can be googled so why you're so far off on your post is odd? Head didn't call plays for Guyer and RJ looks to the sideline before every snap to get a play signaled in so he doesn't call them either, I have no idea what you are talking about as far as offensive knowledge? Heard started more games on a back to back state championship Guyer team than RJ will ever have a chance to. RJ is still an RPO qb that relies on running after making a single read. PNG runs the exact same offense as Dayton except with a better qb. Being black and having the ability to run is a good comparison, it's the reason about 70% of overall NFL players are black but only about 19% of starting NFL qbs are.

LMAO, we already played Manvel and New Caney who are much better than PNG and didn't "crumble". When Crosby loses their qb it take a Texas commit at qb to save the day with time running out. When PNG loses theirs they look like a jv team with the qb throwing picks to the dude 10 yards in front of him. What you fail to realize is what those kids mean to a team. For instance, Crosby got stopped on 4th and 1 on their first drive which led to a PNG score. We wouldn't have even gotten to 3rd down in that situation with Howard, much less 4th down. We would've been scoring every two or three plays like last year because you would've had to defend the qb running and not key on the rbs like PNG was able to this time. Much like last year with the defense PNG put on the field they wouldn't have stopped Crosby one time unless we had drops or turnovers. I don't care about who graduates from PNG as long as they have RJ, without him they're exactly what they were with #17 back there for that matter what they were with Morse and Rose. I agree though, losing coaches or not Crosby can't lose to one player. We defend RJ just as bad as we defended Jordan Cooper.

I agree. Vidor's past actions/views/comments are the reason FEMA is the only reason that keeps God from wiping it off the map. The trailer parks are even frozen in time like Lot's wife when she turned around to see the destruction happening to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Yeah, couldn't understand that either. It was clear PNG wasn't going to stop Crosby running the ball late, I was wondering why we were still snapping the ball with 25+ seconds left on the play clock.

This kid from Marshall is more Deshaun Watson and has a good chance of being drafted into the NFL, RJ is more Jerrod Heard and might not even finish his career at QB. Amazing runner but he will struggle to throw the ball accurately in smaller windows at the next level, he hasn't improved throwing the ball from the pocket since his sophomore year. In high school he's extremely hard to defend because you have to legitimately play the run when they're trying to convert on 4th and 10. In college you're going to have to go through a progression which RJ still struggles with because there's always the option to pull it down and get what you need in high school. Hornsby is probably the best pro qb prospect coming out of high school since Luck. It looks like Hornsby will go to A&M but now he's going to have to deal with Hudson Card who is another Austin area golden child like Ehlinger coming in one year behind him. I don't think he will be allowed time like VY to come in and develop his passing skills sitting behind a Chris Simms without being pushed by some of the other stud qbs in the room. Then again he could get there and they change the offense to accommodate him?

Nobody in this district is going to beat Crosby because of what they bring to the table on defense. Nederland will need close to 50 to beat Crosby as usual. Nederland's defense has the same level of athletes as PNG but they're just coached a little better but their offense is only about 1/3 as good which you can see from them only managing 27 on BH.

Lol, the stops y'all missed out on? You mean the penalties we got that stopped us? PNG front 7 is borderline garbage, you see how pitiful y'all looked against without RJ. Just imagine what Crosby would've looked like with Howard if the backup could put up 45 in just his second start. Ned doesn't have RJ to run around and continuously convert 3rd and 4th and longs.

I think what you saw tonight was the first of what is going to be a lot of issues for Crosby sports programs. Due to budget cuts the new DC was let go before the game today. Either way good game by RJ, PNG is nothing without him. Crosby has lost 3 of the last 4 games to what I consider are the good running qbs they’ve played; RJ twice, Jordan Cooper once with the only win coming against Zion Childress. Again, good game by RJ, for the second year in a row he makes a play to carry PNG past Crosby by three with second left on the clock. Backup qb played well enough to beat anyone on our schedule tonight, RJ made multiple conversions on third/fourth and long late Crosby could’ve stopped any one of and won. I’m not sure exactly how many of the staff got let go/are getting let go but I could well see Crosby struggling to even make the playoffs. Even if Crosby would’ve won this game I think with our issues that are going to permeate the district’s sports teams our realistic goal would’ve been going 11-1 this year and maybe just reaching the 2nd round for the near future. I think 10-2 is still realistic and considering the circumstances plus Howard being out I’ll take it. Personally it sucks to have one of your 14’s lose his DC when it looked like he might have it put together and then have the other one completely lose his head coach. What a bleeping day. Congrats PNG fans, no matter how the board views Crosby posters and whatever condition our program may be in, any time you beat us it’s usually a big win for that team’s fans/coaches/program/community. It’s going to be the duty free blue label Johnny Walker for ole’ 14.2 tonight.

To be honest, even if Howard isn’t healthy I think Crosby’s offense could score 50+ on PNG’s defense with the backup qb. Crosby’s running game is what leads us to most of those points and PNG has the worst run defense we’ve face all year. I will admit it was tough to gauge Vidor’s run defense with the shortened game and the field conditions. Don’t be surprised if this is Crosby’s largest margin of victory to date.

There’s a lot of people talking about a lot of stuff in this thread. I’m personally feeling like after this win for Jasper they have to be the favorite to meet Pleasant Grove in Dallas. I think Jasper would beat Sweeny by 17+ and they’ve already shown they were better than WOS once this year. I will admit it’s hard to beat a team twice in one year though. Bad part for Jasper is that they have six consecutive games on their schedule that they’re probably going to win by 20+ points if they continue playing at the level they have to date. Other than maybe Center, how does Jasper keep a competitive sharpness for the next month and a half?

Yeah, but using that reasoning Crosby beat Manvel while they were ranked higher than A&M Con.

I think they’re good but with a healthy Howard I think Crosby gets an easy 40+ on them. Out of all of the favorites A&M Con. was the most questionable becuase they rely heavily on their defense but have to manufacture points on the offensive end. Huntsville is the same way, except with the passing game, which is why I wasn’t surprised when College Station beat them 20-7. When Crosby is healthy the only team I would give the nod to over us in the region is FB Marshall with Hornsby getting eligible, but I also believe Manvel would have an advantage over Crosby on a neutral field.

I don’t see the difference in spotting PNG 14-20 or spotting Manvel 21? If there’s anybody in the district not to get down to it’s Vidor with their ability to shorten games. That ‘09 defense didn’t have near the talent this one does and on the offensive side if we scored 28 back then it was a solid night. Crosby was a “run it first with Merk” team back then and the defense didn’t play near the snaps they have to with Crosby’s current offense. The defense doesn’t have to be lights out, they just have to be good enough to turn Manvel over four times and gets us back in it. They have to be good enough to shut down WOS while we make a 28-0 run. Just play well enough against the slot-T that we can overcome losing an FBS level qb and giving up a defensive TD. They gave up 13 quick points last night and then held Dayton to only 14 more while the offense put up 56 to seal the deal before Dayton scored two garbage tds with some subs in there. Defense just needs to stop waiting until the second quarter to start playing.

PNG’s defense isn’t very good and Crosby just put up 56 points with the backup qb, and that’s getting off the gas with nearly ten minutes left in the 4th quarter. It’s odd people keep predicting the way they’ll beat Crosby is to hold them below 30 while they win by a field goal or TD?

Dayton with a cheap late td after the Crosby dB gets a personal foul for a kill shot on 4th down
