[quote author=James Mosley link=topic=72900.msg858057#msg858057 date=1285500898] Smitty, You give such easy questions. 1. Fake punt - why? easy, coaches call, maybe he saw something on game film that gave him reason to try and pull it off, this time it didn't work, next time maybe it does, remember it did work at the last home game. Why did the Saints kick an on-side in the super bowl after half time. That too was the coaches call, one that worked. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't. our coaches record shows that the calls he makes usually are right. To dawgnut 1. Take away two long runs and our DC throws a shutdown defensive scheme. By the way those two long runs came after our starting linebacker was hurt. Before then we held them to an average of 3.2 yards per carry. 3.2 yards per carry for 56 carries. Seems to me they had a good scheme planned for two weeks. All that with the only player on defense, (sonnier), who could have ran down the Vidor running back on the sidelines in dress clothes. That wasn't their fastest back running those long runs either.... 2. Old offense vs. new offense - either offense you gotta have players make the plays. you can't have missed assignments, missed routes, give up on blocking assignment too soon, etc.... I prefer the old Nederland offense but the trend is the spread nowadays. Bottom line - game plan is there to win, players make it happen... Again, answer to smitty - Yes Nederland can still make the top four! [/quote] [/quote] I believe Nederland's HC thought the Dogs were on Vidor's 28, not their own 28. [/quote]

Curious about the fake punt on Nederland's own 28 yard line.  Anyone care to offer an explanation?  I'm a firm believer in taking chances.  But from my own 28?  Strange.  Would love to hear others take on this.

Hummmmm -- dawgnuts and penney are awful quite after the game.  Been waiting on their take on the game. 

38 - 14  Bears.

Prayers go out to his family.

I do.  But I am also a realist.  I don't believe you make things better by constantly ignoring what's wrong.  That goes for any aspect in life.  Don't you think?! I'll give you people something else to think about:  Maybe the OC can't run this type of offense.  Maybe he's better at the old offense they ran.  I'm not sure I like this monkey-see, monkey-do mentality.  Katy, and Livingston proved what a good ground-oriented offense can do.  Much like Nederland use to run, until they thought this was better.  Just thinking out loud here.  Any thoughts? [quote name="bigd92" post="856632" timestamp="1285423882"] Smitty do you still support the team?I assumed you were a Ned fan. [/quote]

WOW!  322 yards rushing given up by Nederland's defense to Vidor!  OUCH!!  Again, the main question here:  Can Nederland be in the top 4?    ???

Purely looking at what has happened so far, PN-G could win big.  I doubt Nederland can stop PN-G's offense.  And it looks like PN-G's defense, while lacking some-what, might be able to control Nederland's offense.  If Vidor could control it I think at this point PN-G can as well.  IMHO.      

Impressed!!!!            8)

How many yards did Nederland's defense give up tonight?

I can be wrong!  It's worst than i thought!    :o [quote name="SFA85" post="856188" timestamp="1285385577"] No [/quote]

I like common sense post.  Common sense if rare around these parts.  :D [quote name="GoDogs27" post="856223" timestamp="1285386270"] [quote author=vidor pirate link=topic=73383.msg856201#msg856201 date=1285385773] all i will do is repeat my earlier post: it is alot easier to coach from the stands after you see the result of the play than it is to call the play on the field. Remember, coaching is their job, they get paid to coach because they know what they are doing (except Wade Phillips and Jason Garret). [/quote] That only goes so far vp.. I would never condone a fake punt on 4th and 7.. And I would definitely go for a 4th and inches (qb sneak)  EVERYTIME, when my line outweighs their line by 50-100 lbs a player.. I'm not being a second guesser here.. I'm being a first guesser.. its just common sense stuff.. Not coaching.. [/quote]

What did I say?  I just posted the score!  LOL!!!     ???  ::) [quote name="1696dogs" post="856194" timestamp="1285385646"] Godog, you have a point. And my previous post was for Smitty not you. [/quote]
