cougar2020 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Got to give a round of applause to Hoss Grogan. (he is a beast) Finally, Nederland seems to be back on the right track. Wyatt 1 Quote
BHSCougars Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I have been listening to the game on the radio and texting big brother at the game.....YES he is a BEAST!!!!!! I wish I could have gotten a ticket and made it to the game to root on the DAWGS. Quote
bulldawg64 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 reminds me of a little earl from the oilers smash mouth running! Quote
dawgnut Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Well some folk thought we should have left him on the defense because he would contribute more to the team on the line. I think he has proved the coaches right. The guy can move the ball! Quote
nissanindian Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 i take back eveything i said about him being on defense he is a hoss and very hard to take down congrats worell Quote
Guest Penny Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 You're not the only one nissan, most Nederland fans were screaming to abandon the spread. We've seen why Neumann stuck with it. We need all those weapons on the field at once. Vidrine, who most would consider our #3 receiver was a beast tonight. Congrats to him after a rough first outing, he deserves it, tremendous kid off the field as well. Quote
Guest gladiator2 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 He definately was the better RB in this game and probally is the best in the district. Quote
badndn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Yea, I thought little Gizzi did a great job most of the night on Asa, but Vidrine killed us. Quote
Guest Penny Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 True, Gizzy shut down Asa. But Nederland has four very dangerous wide receivers, Asa's just the best of the bunch. He had a rough night and Gizzy probably had a lot to do with that. Quote
8isgreat Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Warell I am proud of you! I also agree with the previous post that Jude is a great young man. Quote
baddog Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 reminds me of a little earl from the oilers smash mouth running! He's about as big too....230# I believe. Quote
TradinUp BH Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Grogan good back needs to learn to put head down and drive his legs on every play, other than that he's a hoss Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 So Grogan is the real deal, huh? Is he all power with speed? Does he have good vision? Blocking skills? Catching out of the backfield? Quote
Guest Penny Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Grogan has above average speed. He has great cuts, but may overuse them. When he gets behind his pads and picks a guy to go hit, he'll get 4 yards just about everytime he touches the ball. Ned o-line busted some great holes as well, but this kid has some tools that most don't.

badndn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 So Grogan is the real deal, huh? Is he all power with speed? Does he have good vision? Blocking skills? Catching out of the backfield? He picked up the blitz several times tonight. He should use some of the tape of him popin' our LB on blitz pickup tonight for his recruiting video. That and the threat he possed as a runner, was the biggest difference in Bellows having all night in the pocket to find the open receiver! Quote
NDNWarrior Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Grogan is a beast for sure. Â I agree, he needs to put his head down and continue to plow up yardage. Â I'm sure Neuman will have him doing that soon. Â Gizzy definitely gave Cardenas a hard time tonite. Â Gizzy is a little fella, but very quick and will stick with you. Â Grogan should continue to improve, just hopefully, he won't be worn out before the playoffs. Â A big guy like that shouldn't be run into the ground...needs a break every once in a while. Â Nederland definitely deserved the win, congrats! Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Ohh, ok. Thank you for that info. He's basicallly a good FB type back that have great agility. Quote
bulldawg64 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 ONE OF MY BUDS THAT IS A HARD CORE CENTRAL FAN WAS IMPRESSED WHEN HE SAW GROGAN AS A SOPHMORE ON D ,HE SAID LAST YEAR WE SHOULD BE RUNNING HIM ON OFFENSE, LOVELADY RAN STRONG ALSO. Quote
MikeEast Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Gotta remember, you are looking at an unexperienced running back at the varsity level. His skill is raw and he is pure brute force with pretty good speed mixed in. Right now he is a very good blocking back with above average size and speed. He is hitting the holes pretty hard and making much better decisions than he did a few weeks ago. As he gains experience he is just going to get better and better. It so good to see the Nederland staff finally pick the right running back. We have been floundering in what I thought were crummy running back selections for several years, ending up with your best backs playing defense. Granted it looks like we have a pretty good line to block for Grogan, but this guy can bring the groceries. Quote

Michael, I'm not sure what you are talking when you say "SEVERAL YEARS"??? Last year we had problems at RB. But the THREE years before that we had Mosley running the ball and we ALL know what he did!!!

You are correct, I for some reason thought right past Micah. duh, didn't think is more like it. However, I had particular names in mind of which i will not mention but I think excluding Micah you probably know what I am talking about. Small backs that go down way too easy has been the standard excluding the obvious. Quote
Razor08 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Grogan is a very talented athlete. I saw him run at the track meet, guy is pretty fast for his size. Hes around 215 or so right? Quote
