Nederland quarterback Ryan Sampere will be out for 4 weeks

[BearWolf]

Believe me, go with your best playmaker (preferably a senior) under center until the kid gets back. If there's an opportubity to blow up your season let a senior do it. It's their last shot.

[Yeoj]

That kind of thinking is why WB's offense look so sluggish with a senior DB playing QB, who happened to throw 3 picks in the red zone.  Go with the best QB in the program and I don't care if its a freshman, play the best QB in the program!

[BearWolf]

What I'm saying is if there is no next best QB,in Brooks case Louis is the best QB and he shold be under center. That may not be the case with Bellow. Go with the kid that gives you the best chance to win. If D. Johnson is a better playmaker than Bellow then go with him, your senior.

Big Ned will give a lot of reps to the new #1 quarterback and be on the search for a new #2. Don't be surprised if a new QB emerges.

4 weeks for a fracture??? - C'mon now

[NHS82]

Ryan will be out for 6-8 weeks minimum. Possibly wont even return to play football this season. Bellows is the QB! Dogs have already modified their offense to Bellow's physical strengths. Upperclassmen need to step up for Bellows. Nederland will be fine behind this young man.

[BMTSoulja1]

So what can Bellows do?  What are his strengths?

[Guest 87CRU79]

Although Kirby is not a very mobile QB, he does possess some good qualities. Bellow has great touch on his passes and has decent arm strength, he is also very calm in the pocket and doesn't panic. The upper classmen need to rally around him so that he may be able to elevate his game. Bellow has 2 non-district games to get some good work in, and a bye week to work out the kinks before playing Vidor at the Dog House. Knowing Vidor, they will be playing aggresive on defense to try to keep Bellow from getting in a rythm.

If he needs to flee the pocket due to the pocket closing in, can he make good decisions to not take a loss and not throw an int or fumble?  Or is it too early to make an assessment like that?  If not, then tell me after friday.  Realy want to know.  Neumann will put the best player for the job in place, I'm sure.

[Guest 87CRU79]

This coming Friday will be Bellow's first official varsity start, so we'll know more after the game than we do now. But from what I've seen, Nederland's chances of doing some damage in district still seem alive. Like is said previously, what Nederland needs right now, is strong senior leadership and intensity on defense.

You really want to know, I know it's not because you are getting a little scared so soon BMTSoulja1. LOL This is my take and opinion. I like the Bellows kid, I think he has great football smarts and understands the game. Confidence will take this kid to the next level, and the coaches know how to build that, so I say Bellows will pick up the offense and do just fine. He may make mistakes and bad decisions in the learning process but that will be O.K. too. Ryan being out was a huge blow but with time, and that is what preseason is for, Kirby will impress many. Give him time!

Haha, please... : ;D...I just wanted to know because I'm so impressed that that bulldogs were roughing the Cubs up like that.  Maybe I'm living through yall right now, sense we got skinned alive by Brenham in the playoffs 2 years ago.

Your #1 pitcher goes down prior to district in a heated 4A district baseball race. The schedule has you playing 2 more tournaments before district. Down the street is Jay Stone of PNG, Steve Griffith of LCM, Kyle Green of Vidor chomping at the bit.

I trust Coach Nuemann and his staff to pull this off. We have seen it done this past week, whole new offense and a victory over Brenham. Look for him to experiment in the coming weeks, heck the wishbone might show up

How about the single wing??

[Guest Penny]

Titan, speaking of screens... have you ever seen Texas Tech play??? Just wondering, do you think they have a good offense???  Also, do you think Brenham just didn't have the athletes to run with the Nederland receivers... or do MOST high schools suffer from poor defensive back play???  If you were to poll each NFL scout, what position would he say is the toughest to play and why??? 

Your arguement over Brenham's soft defense and how everyone else will get in Nederland face and press them out of passing is pretty soft in my opinion.  Most high school football teams... regardless of how much skill/speed we think they have struggle to produce enough solid DB's to shut down a good passing game.  Ned's new QB may take some time to mature, but keep in mind that they went to the spread as much for the ability of their receivers to get open as they did for the QB who was delivering the rock. 

Just my two cents of pucky.

[PNG Proud]

Don't waste your breath Penny

[Guest Penny]

Just trying to cloud the issue with some sense of reason... you're right Proud... my bad.

[Guest Jags]

How does the youngster look?

[DP#1FAN]

Good luck to Ryan on getting back on the field.

[Scalpem06]

i hear he isnt taking to many snaps at practice???

[raidernaytion]

I think the game against Forest Brook will build his confidence.

[NHS82]

Who are you referring too?

[Piratediehard]

Are yall serious! Sampere will not be back in 4 weeks. He broke both bones in his leg. He will be out for alot longer than 4 weeks. Let the kid heal right then if the doctors release him he might be back at 8 weeks. I have seen this kid play football and baseball he is an tremendous athlete he will go somewhere with his baseball career if he heals right! Good luck with soph. QB for the rest of the season Go ahead and accept it dog fans!
