WOS92 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Why would they keep running him so much once the game was so out of hand? 26 carries? Why risk such a HUGE part of your offensive firepower?
dme1111 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 I was at the game and was wondering the same thing. Why leave him in? It just did not make sense. He was kicking off, returning kicks, playing offense, and defense. Give the kid a break.
Tiger90 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 So is it safe to say if he goes down the team goes down? I have seen teams ride the "horse" before only to be disappointed late in the season when an injury creeps up ending their chances.
godogs Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 all of the startes were out in the beginning of the 3rd quarter..its just that the score at halftime was 31-0

He was kicking off' date=' returning kicks, playing offense, and defense. Give the kid a break.[/quote'] Didn't see him much on defense last night, he might have return 2 punts early. It's a fine line I believe Coach Nuemann is using with Mosley. Sit the young man hoping he stays healthy for district or reward him with playing time because he's missed so many games for prior injuries.
WOS92 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 NED-Micah Mosley 40 run (Logan Therict kick) 8:48, 3rd NED-Micah Mosley 71 run (Logan Therict kick) 4:54, 3rd Looks like the starters were in throughout the third.
Hupernikomen Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Nothing uncommon to see starters stay in until the 4th quarter. Glad he got the yards. I wouldn't surprise me if he got 2500 yards this year including the playoffs games.
Gtj007 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 The starters came out with 4:21 left in the 3rd qrt. I remember looking up at the scoreboard and saying to a friend: "Wow, it's been a while since we've been able to take the starters out, much less with 4:21 to go in the 3rd qtr."
Guest Penny Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Folks need to get off the "Why don't the coaches take Mosely out..." bangwagon. Bottom line is, he will be on the field for the majority of games against Central, PNG, Ozen... playoffs... so he needs to get used to it. Nederland goes about 18-20 players deep this year, so Mosely will be used abundantly, that's just the facts. Say what you want about it, but Neumann is doing his job in getting him ready for those games. The only way you get your body ready to do that... is to actually do that... so let's put this drivel to rest. Mosely will be playing ALOT... period. Oh by the way, you ask him if he wants to come out... he's worked his rear end off in ways most high school kids never would even begin to... he deserves to do what he is doing.
Bigdog Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 It seems I remember the same discussion about the WOS running back last year. He played both ways and did returns, I think.
Guest GoStangs Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 There's a little difference when you suit out a total of 24 players vs. however many NED is suiting out this year. Mosely is a great athlete, and there is no doubt he will excel no matter where or how often you play him, but I think with a roster size like you all have, Neumann would've played a few backups with a 31 point lead in the second half, if for no other reason to give them a little extra playing time. I don't think there's anything negative about that.
Gtj007 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 I believe that is Hook's decision to only suit up 24. I'm sure he could pull some up from JV to suit out more????? Or are they not good enough for Varsity?? Nederland is VERY thin on the varsity level this year! Sure, Neumann could bring some kids up, but we're not talking about #'s here, we're talking about talent. Nuemann, just like Hooks, is going to put the best player on the field, no matter if that means some guys playing both ways.
Guest GoStangs Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Of course, my answer is that if the JV players were good enough to play varsity football, they'd be suited out for Friday nights, but also because of the amount of kids in the program (there aren't that many on the WOS JV, either), we really don't have the ability to just take a bunch of players to use as backups and still have a JV team. I think Neumann is doing exactly what he has to do to win -- Mosley is a two-way starter simply because he's the best player at those two positions. I've been very impressed with Neumann's ability to spot talent and play them at the positions where they can make the most impact, so there is no questioning his judgment whatsoever. Admittedly, I don't know the varsity roster size at NED -- I'm just going on what I remember them generally having and based my statement on that; however, with a small roster, Mosely will have to play a lot on offense and defense, unless someone comes along that's better than or as good as him at his starting positions. As athletic as he is, I don't know if that'll happen anytime soon, though.
Gtj007 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Neds roster is MUCH smaller than I can ever remember!! There might be 3-4 players that end up having to play both ways because of injuries. Ned does have a lot of talented starters, but there is a quick drop off after that.
Guest Bridge City Card Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 Who else on Nederland is looking good?
NedDog Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 Although no one is really standing out at this point, our passing game did show some improvement over Week 0.
NedDog Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 Dravanti Johnson is still a monster on Defense.
Guest Penny Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 I think Ned's entire defense has been a pleasant surprise. They contained LaMarque to an extent... Ned's offense had a long run of 3 and out's that kept them on the field, yet they only gave up a couple of long runs. For the most part they got after it pretty good. They were dominant against FB... as they should've been. D. Johnson and the entire front four of Ned are very solid.
Guest Nederland Bandit Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Mosley is getting healther and is catching fire again.
Lucky Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Nothing uncommon to see starters stay in until the 4th quarter. Glad he got the yards. I wouldn't surprise me if he got 2500 yards this year including the playoffs games. Did you say playoffs ? Thats a bit premature, don't you think ?
