Nederland @ Crosby

[kparkfootball]

The only time I watched Nederland play live was against Georgetown last year.  Georgetown was a very good team last year.  Good luck to both teams this Friday.

[size=10pt]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.

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.

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?

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[/size].

No reason to eat your firstborn....just cause you had another baby.
Dogs had a great season last year. (period)

Crosby and Angleton will be tests for the secondary.  It will be a good indicator of how Ned will face/defend Central and Ozen.  A road game is difficult no matter who you are.  I do agree with crosby that experience makes a difference at this level.  Ned is fortunate to have enough experience in key positions to help.  Concern is our punting game and coverage and play of LBs. 

To 3 peat,Nederland will take its lumps this season with everyone's bulls eye on them.  One misstep may result in a loss.  Undefeated district runs are difficult, focus on the gameplan and execute.  M2cents hit it on the head, that turnover battle will be indicator in this game.  This game is always tough for Nederland in Crosby.

Crosby better hope they come away w/0 injuries cause their 1st 5 games are a tuff schedule=Ned-@Willis 6/9 return-@BH-Dayt-@Summer Creek

  Nederland's offense will be better this year, I think we will avg 30-35 ppg.

I hear a lot of talk of key players in certain positions, but everyone seems to be forgetting one key component to this game.... Coaching. Nederland has arguably one of the best coaching staffs, if not the best, in the area. Neumann will have these guys ready..
