Don't have to type a bunch of explanations, but agree, Crosby may not have two guys together that can block Malveaux and D Wash.
[/quote]Don't get me wrong, Malveaux is a good player but he was the least effective of all Ned's d-linemen last year. He's short and moves slow laterally, he'll be cut down all night with our zone blocking scheme. The only interior lineman that gave us trouble last year was #76 from SC and Caleb isn't that type of player, hard kid to move but we don't run iso plays.
[/quote]

Maybe you need to re-watch the video,  the QB was running for his life most of the game, and Crosby's D couldn't stop anything that Ned was doing.  14-0 in the 1st with 5 min left.  Also,  I hope you have a better  punter than last year the kicking game put you in  a hole all night.

Our offense will definitely keep our defense on the bench a lot more this year, we can grind it out or strike really fast, the cougars will find this out Friday night......Dogs 38-17
[/quote]When has Ned ever struck fast or had a high powered offense? Now with a first year starter at qb Ned is going to be high powered? First of all Ned's running attack which is the lifeblood of their offense was greatly helped along by a good o-line. With the departure of guys like Pryor Ned's line is going to be hard pressed for improvement over what it was last year. Even still it took 46 team carries to get over the 200 yard mark on our D which should be a lot better this year. Raines made some good veteran plays last year like you would expect a three year starter to but I'm expecting some growing pains the new qb's first start, especially on the road.

I just now watched the first half of last years game again. Pryor played one play on offense and that was from the jumbo package on the 1 yard line.

After reading the Crosby posts I can't wait until Friday night....no need for any of us to say what will happen, they will find out themselves on Friday.

GO DOGS BEAT THOSE COUGARS!!!!!!!

Our first year QB is very comfortable in the pocket, can run a little, and has a decent arm. Four of our five lineman started last year.. Hopkins, Dial, and Barton all return in the backfield. Each one of them are bigger, stronger, and faster than last year. With people like Kimler and Seay on the outside, that's match up problems with any team. Also don't forget the names Bordelon and Broussard, both kids have great hands and can run. Also have arguably the best kicker in the area on our team too.
So do not underestimate the Bulldogs offense this year. It's going to be their strong point.

[/quote]We do have a different punter. We couldn't stop Ned's O? Y'all got 14 points in the first and we played the last 3 quarters to a 7-7 tie. We had a costly turnover and left a couple plays on the field. Y'all got the same 20-21 points you scored on Vidor, Dayton, Connally, and Dawson. That's all y'all score on decent teams and couldn't manage that on Georgetown. We'll see what happens in the second year of the offense. Aston was also told not to run last year so he could get used to reading defenses in the new system. I bet he takes off more this year.

I bet Mayfield, Seay and Kimler lay down quite a few blows on him to make him think twice about running.

[bronco pride]

This should be a good game. Crosby does have a lot of offensive weapons. Wouldn't put money on either team IMO to close to call.

We will just have to let the game be played out.  Not one of us are mind readers.  Having said that Nederland 35 Crosby 7

Because we didn't need to score any more.  Defense takes care of their part.  Every game you listed with the exception of Georgetown we won, so i would say it worked out ok.  :)

[kparkfootball]

I am also hoping Crosby beats Nederland being KP is from District 19-4a.  I think Crosby line is bigger and better then last year since they are returning 5 off. line.  Crosby has two big rec. 6'5" and 6'3" and a good QB and running back.

Crosby will have 3-4 off. line app. 270 each and I think they will slow Nederland front three down some.  Nederland sounds like they have the best front three in the area according to what a lot of people from Nederland are saying.

It sounds like the Nederland has the biggest and quickest DB in the area.  They should have the best def. in the area.

That would be Tony Brown of Ozen.. Seay and Kimler are both big, but more physical and intelligent than most players.

Nederland 34 Crosby 21

[kparkfootball]

Is Nederland front line on defense better this year or last?
Is Nederland QB better this year or last?

I know Crosby's off. line will be much better this year then last and the offense they have everyone back.
Crosby Defense they lost their line and some DB's.

Front line is not as good, idk if Ned will ever have that kind of D-Line again, but they're still pretty darn good.
Carson was a very good leader and had the ability to make big plays when needed. But I think Preston can mold into the same type of player this year.

Both teams have a lot returning this year, two good teams that are going to be fun to watch.

[/quote]IJS, in the last couple of seasons in Ned's more noted games against WOS, Crosby, Dayton, Barbers Hill, Vidor and 7 playoff games(#envious) win or lose they haven't scored over 25 points. They did get 31 on Angleton last year though. Your offense didn't get better or more explosive by losing Raines and Shaw either. I think Ned is going to score in the mid to low 20's like the normally do in games like this. Question is can we get 28 or 30?

All those teams you listed have pretty good defenses too. But so what if we don't score 50 a game, our offense isn't meant to just run up the score board.. It's meant to tire out the opposing defense, limit turnovers, and keep our defense rested for the end of the game. Last time I checked you just have to score more than the opposing team. And lately we've been really good at that.

White is not bad, don't sleep on him. We replace Shaw and Barrow with Seay, who is very good, and some juniors that are bigger and stronger then them both. Broussard is quick and decent size, Bordelon has hands like glue, and Richardson is very quick. That's not even mentioning Krautz who is faster and bigger than Barrow was. Hopkins only got better in the offseason, and Barton and Dial should really help back there too.

Broussard is quick and decent size, Bordelon has hands like glue, and Richardson is very quick. That's not even mentioning Krautz who is faster and bigger than Barrow was. Hopkins only got better in the offseason, and Barton and Dial should really help back there too.

The tables are almost exactly turned from last year since it was our first game with a new coach and on the road in a tough environment. If we can get Austin going I think we'll win, and I like our chances at that.

Don't have to type a bunch of explanations, but agree, Crosby may not have two guys together that can block Malveaux and D Wash.
[/quote]Don't get me wrong, Malveaux is a good player but he was the least effective of all Ned's d-linemen last year. He's short and moves slow laterally, he'll be cut down all night with our zone blocking scheme. The only interior lineman that gave us trouble last year was #76 from SC and Caleb isn't that type of player, hard kid to move but we don't run iso plays.
[/quote]

Maybe you need to re-watch the video,  the QB was running for his life most of the game, and Crosby's D couldn't stop anything that Ned was doing.  14-0 in the 1st with 5 min left.  Also,  I hope you have a better  punter than last year the kicking game put you in  a hole all night.
[/quote]We do have a different punter. We couldn't stop Ned's O? Y'all got 14 points in the first and we played the last 3 quarters to a 7-7 tie. We had a costly turnover and left a couple plays on the field. Y'all got the same 20-21 points you scored on Vidor, Dayton, Connally, and Dawson. That's all y'all score on decent teams and couldn't manage that on Georgetown. We'll see what happens in the second year of the offense. Aston was also told not to run last year so he could get used to reading defenses in the new system. I bet he takes off more this year.
[/quote]

Because we didn't need to score any more.  Defense takes care of their part.  Every game you listed with the exception of Georgetown we won, so i would say it worked out ok.  :)
[/quote]IJS, in the last couple of seasons in Ned's more noted games against WOS, Crosby, Dayton, Barbers Hill, Vidor and 7 playoff games(#envious) win or lose they haven't scored over 25 points. They did get 31 on Angleton last year though. Your offense didn't get better or more explosive by losing Raines and Shaw either. I think Ned is going to score in the mid to low 20's like the normally do in games like this. Question is can we get 28 or 30?
[/quote]

All those teams you listed have pretty good defenses too. But so what if we don't score 50 a game, our offense isn't meant to just run up the score board.. It's meant to tire out the opposing defense, limit turnovers, and keep our defense rested for the end of the game. Last time I checked you just have to score more than the opposing team. And lately we've been really good at that.

Only thing that is exactly turned is the road game, and QB for us. We have a very experienced team with a great coaching staff that will have the team ready to play.

I think it's a very tough first game of the season for BOTH teams and each will be better and tested after playing. All the chest bumping is pointless. It's a pre-district game between two teams that are very likely to make the playoffs. The team that executes the best and makes the fewest mistakes will most likely win. I hope it's a great game without injuries. I will be making the short trip!

Nederland 42
Crosby 16
Take it to Crosby like we did in the playoffs two years ago!
