incognito Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 The Pirates demonstrated tremendous effort in the game against Texas high. This young team showed they could move the chains and score against a very good defense. Even though the Pirates fell short of a win, I think this particular game goes a long way towards ultimately discrediting those that wrote the pirates off this year, as well as boosting the confidence of a very young and underrated, but promising team. I know a lose doesn't usually inspire confidence, but I think the Texas high game set in motion something that has galvanized this Pirate team and will motivate them deep into the season. Solidarity and confidence is a commodity that is crucial to the success of any football team. I think the Pirates have the right stuff to be one of those successful teams.
Raider81 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 I have been saying since the Texas game that everyone should sit up and take notice of Vidor.
Guest Pirate_pride_07 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 two thumbs up. good post. i totally agree. glad to know i'm not the only one who thinks that.
Tim Riggins Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Was surprised by the closeness of the game due to Vidor only having 2 returning starters on each side of the ball and the quality of the opponent. The next 2 non-district games, BC and K'ville, should show if the Pirates are indeed a team that should have previous expectations elevated.
pirate58 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Was a great effort by the Pirates, all three of the junior running backs ran hard, line really did well. I think they should try more passes especially during the non-district schedule. We are a lot smaller on defense this year but they are trying hard. Pass defense still needs a lot of work, Texas High dropped a couple of passes when they were wide open that could really have hurt us. But to go up there and lose by missing an extra point I was real proud of how they played whether they won or loss. I would have like to see the boys win for their sake.
SFA85 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 Could it be in the age of Spread O's, that Wing T/Slot T Vidor runs just keeps them in games against teams that only have a week to prepare?By no means am I discounting the tremendous effort by the Pirates
LTrain Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 could be, but if it aint broke dont fix it, good luck this year Pirates

IMO if you don't play gap control defence you could be in for a long night.
