Yes they're. I would love to see my former teammate get the job here one day.

Yates can keep Dixon. He is a tool bag. He also sucked when he was coaching the secondary here.

7 needed to stay at FS. The safety position has killed us this season. I did not like that move. We have other kids that can play OLB. Outside 7 and 17 the LBs haven't given us much. 40 is just taking up space.

I don't know what you guys are watching. Before Zion went down against Longview he was definitely causing problems. This year. Nick Saban and Kirby Smart don't offer guys just because they're big.

I wouldn't say he is better and plays harder. I like them both and Zion is still hurt. To be honest with you neither one of them have been much of a factor these last 2 games but I think they do a good job of swallowing up blocks our LBs have to play better. In a perfect world I would like to see them both at DT in an even front but I worry about the depth behind them. Even in a 4 man front we don't have DE's that are pass rushers. So I don't have a problem running a 3-4 as long as we send pressure to try to generate a pass rush.

They haven't been a bad defense. Them Stafford defenses were bad but he didn't have much to work with. I'm not going to blame missed tackles on the coaching. I think we definitely could have blitzed more this season and bounces around from an odd and even front. I see way more from that side of the ball then the offense.

I think Kedren having to play behind a bad offensive line like this will help his game more then Tatum at the next level initially. I think they're both high caliber backs and not much separates them. Both can catch the ball out the backfield and run between the tackles with home run speed

I wouldn't say they wasted Lane. He had a successful career and SR season

What I wouldn't do for a time machine 😂

I agree at the end of the day we should be good enough to compete in this district.

I'm going to try not to think to much about it. This season is almost over and the probability of us making the post season is ventilator status. The oldest kid got me a couple of Texas vs Houston tickets today and he's not playing today so I can cheer for Texas and not feel guilty. I'm still going to wear my cougar shirt because it would probably be frowned apon picking up a players ticket in a Texas shirt lol

Yep exact same offense Lane was in but we had an offensive line and a dang good QB. It wasn't the play calls why we went 14-1 we were just immensely more talented and our defense was only giving up 11 ppg in 04 or something close to that.

It definitely would help but the scheme overall is still bad. You don't make the defense defend enough of the field. Play calls coming in way to late. We need to be an up tempo offense with the type of skill players we have. To many times the defense is already set and by the time they show the blitz it's to late. Playing faster and hard counting would show the defenses hand and allow for us to call a play from where the blitz is coming from or force them to check out of it.

That's why I was against playing him early because Green won't mold the offense to his ability. I personally thought he did enough against Forney to get more of a look. The offense needs to be completely revamped next season around his skill set.

I agree with that. They have held leads or been tied in the 2nd half of every game this year except Longview. Most of the problems if not all of them are with the offense. Now that's bad football 101.

I definitely wanna keep Coach Soderquist. They played decent defense this year and he makes adjustments. I seen enough to like what they could and should be next season on that side but I am 100% on it's time for Green to either go back to 6th grade PE or Jacksonville.

I think we would of been better off going with Johnson at QB late. He would of been good enough to evade the rush and get outside the pocket and put pressure on the Tyler defense to come up off the WRs and tackle him in space and that might of opened up a big play down field. He should 100% get the start next week. Like you said the scheme is trash. No TE's and nothing under center. Tyler doesn't even have to defend the middle of the field 95% of the time. Personally I have nothing against Green. I just think it's time. When you're arguing with your players on the sideline because they know you're screwing them over it's a problem and it's just time to go.

I agree. We should have definitely had a better showing but I'm just being real about the situation next season. Lufkin won't be in a district remotely close to this and I don't think we need to hold that against them.

Did you even play in HS? Serious question and not the kid you pretended to be.

Literally every other 5A district is weaker then this. We had 3 teams that were in the top 10 this year at some point and another that's around the top 15 and 2 of the 4 teams had been in the top 3 at some point. I don't won't to hear anything about being in a weaker district mind set next season is why they're winning. 3 of the 4 playoff teams in this district will be in 6A next year. Lufkin would have made the Playoffs literally in every other district in 5A this year. Some of you guys are acting like they're losing to bad teams and that's not the case. Longview has boat raced everyone except Forney. Lufkin has been in every game this year except Longview. So yeah they're going to absolutely benefit next season not being in a district like this. I'm going to take those wins just the same. I don't care. I'll enjoy beating up on Baytown Goose Greek idgaf. We earned an easy district after being stuck in this that made absolutely 0 sense from the beginning.

I think the statistical probability would of favored them trying to score and us beating Lancaster. Because they're not beating Longview or Forney. It was just dumb no way around it. That TD would of at least given them a chance. Now they have to beat Longview or Forney when they didn't have to.

But I'm just saying that was a dumb decision to kneel the ball. If Quick did something like that you guys would come unglued lol. That just wasn't smart. I guess they could beat Longview or Forney but good luck with that. That's just not being aware of the situation.

Honestly the Tyler coach is an idiot for not trying to score a TD. He essentially eliminated them from the playoffs because they're not going to beat Longview or Forney. Tyler is at a -4 right now. A Lufkin 6 point win would put us at +3 and Lancaster +1. Matter in fact we could probably beat them by 5 and get in because the tie breaker then would go to head to head. So everyone praising the Tyler coach when he obviously failed at mathematics. I couldn't believe they kneeled the ball. That's just not being aware of the situation.

I don't think we will be in a nearly as challenging district. Maybe it will be smoke and mirror wins until we play a team with equal talent but we will see that's for sure lol

I hate to be this guy but if we can beat Lancaster by what 8 or 6 points that would put us in the playoffs 😂
