Is it the offense ran? Or just bad luck?[/quote]I think it has been some of both. Wen most of the injuries occured it was when we ran the spread and that put the QB in the most danger. We are back to the one and two back formation. The more you hand-off the less your QB takes a lot of abuse. Most of our QB injuries were fluke injuries so it could have happened on any type of offense. One QB planted his leg to turn and his knee gave out, another had his hand stepped on so they really didn't happen because of the type of offense.
tjcfan08 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 Been watching this Bulldog group since they were in 8th grade....Lots of talent on this team.....The Big D is one of the best around and the Big O rallies and gets the job done.....Stop haten and enjoy the ride, I'm sure you'll end up on top....Congrats to WOS looks like you guys might just have another winning season!!! ;)I'm ready for some FOOTBALL!!!
rvbulldogs Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 I had to work Friday so I didnt see the scrimage but it sounds like both teams defense played well and both teams offense had a tough time. The good thing about battling WOS is they help you figure out what your team needs improvement on. Scarry Larry will have the Dogs ready!!! I will be in Dayton Thursday!!! Go Dogs!!!
phunter308 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Friday was just as predicted great defenses and just average offenses. Was alittle surprised by the struggle of both offenses to move the ball. One big play and a missed assignment by the sophomore safety allowed WO-S to score against defense. Learning curve to be expected. Nederlands offense looked rough with o-line missing blocks and just over whelmed by speed of rush. WO-S blitz a lot and loaded the box after Nederlands wide receivers could not catch the ball. They dropped quite a few passes and when the blitzes came Carson did throw as crisp ball. WO-S defense is average size with excellent speed and everyone gets to the ball. Nederland D is big up front with good speed in the secondary. The secondary got a good look at speed and did a good job with it . WO-S had a hard time running the ball and that is saying something. WO-S and Nederland will both have to work on running the ball and o-line effectiveness. Overall a 2-1 scoring advantage to WO-S is not a bad start but not what Nederland was looking for, but I bet it gets better from here as the playbook will get expanded and line will improve.
GoDogs27 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 You have to remember that even with fresh faces, defenses generally gel sooner than offenses do early in seasons. This is only exacerbated by the fact that Nederland has so many returning starters on D. Offense will come together as the season goes on. It's really all about staying healthy and peaking at the right time. Not concerned one bit about the offense in its first scrimmage against a good WO-S defense.
PNGFan Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 The Dogs are STILL the team to beat in 20-4A. Scrimmages are meant to work out kinks, prepare your team and your back ups.

phunter308 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Seen some new o line configurations today. It was expected after the game. We will see if it is permanent and effective. Added some size up front. PN-G thanks for the confidence boost, but the DOGS got a good look at what it needed to work on. Every team in 20-4a is the team to beat.

Like what I see of Self, also.
