Huntsville is better than SOC at the skill spots...there's 3 big questions for them in this game
1) Can they at least match SOC's phsyicality up front on both sides of the ball? SOC is elite in the trenches this year
2) How does the freshman QB handle this moment against the best defense he's seen to date?
3) Can Huntsville play clean and not have self-inflicted wounds? 

Keep it rolling this week PNG!  wish yall the very best.

game should be done by 8;30 and home by 10:30
 

It’s not Bailey’s fault. The OC has had all season to figure out how to scheme the other receivers open. The OC thinks Bailey is better than he is and that the receivers are faster than they are. So, he calls plays like he’s holding a video game controller. 

I think we’ve got defensive speed on the sideline that the coaches just aren’t willing to use. I’m sure they know something I don’t. But from what I can see, our kicker is better at pursuing and hitting the runner than our CBs. No. 22 likes hitting people and is fast and he’s on the sideline. And that’s just the ones I can remember. There’s still some starting who shouldn’t be. We need hungry hunters out there and I’m not seeing it from our secondary. In every play there’s at least one guy who seems to hope the ball doesn’t come toward him, or that someone else will tackle him. Last year our DBs wanted contact. 
 
Another thing we’re missing on defense is we’re too easily blockable. We used to run through blocks. This year, we’re trying to get around blocks. If a blocker can get you to try to get around him instead of simply crashing the lane he’s blocking, he’s won without having to touch you.  

SOC will be the favorite, but I think Huntsville will stay with them.  The Hornets have a chance to win if they don’t beat themselves.  

Your free to talk about whatever you want. My post was more about Joseph Philosophy. Not what you our anyone else says. 

Well said, I think NISD choose right with Coach Rich and company… 
back on topic… watched some videos on Kaufman qb seems to be athletic kid. He has 2 main weapons #0 and #15 (15 seems to be a problem for teams.) o line didn’t look to big but the LT…. 
overall I think PNG defense bottles those 2 up and will be good, interior d line for Indians I think can have a field day Thursday night. Gotta get pressure on that qb.  

I hope brenham runs them out of the stadium 

Thanks for the updates and welcome to the site

Best of luck going forward Bulldogs … keep the faith in these young men!

PNG will be alright. On to Round 2! SCALP’EM!

PN-G is missing both Cade McCrary and Charlie Feller those guys were both outstanding coaches and they got replaced by Faircloth light and a guy who i don't think is as good as feller was just turn on the tape you'll see what I mean

Not to sound like a complete homer but I see Texas High in the state title game… one of the fastest team I ever seen. Faster than those Fort Bend Marshall teams…

Austin is definitely weird 😂

Nederland has an above-average defensive line. And, even with all the complaints about Nederland’s secondary, I would feel pretty good about their chances if they can put pressure on the qb and slow down the run game. Even with no one else on the field, passes (especially deep ones) are likely to be dropped, much more so with some pressure on the qb. 

We need to work on short passes out of our normal run formation to open up the run. These throws down the sideline are just a coin flip, and do nothing to make the LBs guess. 

Yeah and without yall nitpicking me about this there would be 2 post on this thread about this game…. But please continue on… Let me know about any other un written rules

eh, you know what I meant.  MP has the seasons I'm referring to listed as 22-23 and 24-25, so just a typo sorta deal.  here's hoping Nederland can get past them.  It's an awful break for them to have to face Texas High in the first round, but pretty unlucky for Texas high to have to face them as well.

+1,000  #88 has proven all year long, when given the opportunties, that he can catch and run with the ball after the catch.  Early on in the season, the OC gave him some throws.  And, then, the OC forgot about him for six or seven games.  He is tall and mobile.  Given him some throws.  I'd spread him out and see if the LBs move out with him.  Right now, teams are stacking eight and nine defenders in the box.  Our OC does nothing to change the numbers game.

Especially with Thurston. Tall, can run and catch. Utilize him more. Also, 44

I couldn’t see the secondary too well on the broadcast, but it looked like Ned was in prevent defense in Montgomery’s last drive —- Exactly what Montgomery needed. If I’m right, Ned ceded the mid-range (so, first downs) sideline against a team that needed 60 yards and had no (maybe 1?) timeouts. I may be alone in hating the prevent defense except in Hail Mary situations, but I think if Nederland had lined up in their normal defense in the last drive they would have stopped Montgomery. But I could be wrong about their formation since I couldn’t really see the secondary. It just seemed like those mid-range sideline passes were handed to Montgomery. 

For the Nederland fans, I will give you the Texas High report. The game will be decided on the field and not on message boards. In my opinion, this is the best Tiger team since they won state in 2002. As mentioned earlier they have a well balanced offense that is 50/50 between pass and run. David Potter, QB, makes good decisions and has only thrown 1 INT. He holds an offer from SMU. The running attack is three headed. Javari Johnson (SR), starts at RB and has committed to SFA over 8 D1 offers. Tradarian Ball (JR) is the crown jewel of the offense. 247Sports ranks him as the #2 RB in next year’s class and #46 overall nationally. He has committed to Oregon. When he is not spelling Johnson, he is a receiver. The #3 RB is Ahmad Moore (JR). His yards have come primarily with 2nd team, but I don’t see a huge drop off when he is on the field. The receivers to the passing attack is not focused on one individual. The line has provided good pass protection and opening holes for the run. 
 
The defense has given up some points, but are solid. I would say their strength is their secondary. Overall they have very good team speed.
As a retired visiting coach related after they watched Texas High … “ They have athletes all over the field”.
Grim can be a difficult venue for opponents, especially after a 5 hour bus ride. Looking forward to Friday and safe travels to the Nederland fans.

 
 
 

I recommend they leave Thursday, stay over night in Bossier City, hit the casinos that night, then be fresh Friday evening.
