I disagree with you some on that. I think Timmins and Young have played really well at corner. It's an extremely hard position to play and you're matched up 1 on 1 most of the time against the best athletes on the field. We can't ask them to cover those types of kids for a long amount of time. Timmins doesn't run up on that play and the RB just keeps it for a TD. It was just really a good play design off a running concept they had been gashing us on all game. You can't fault him on that play. I think the problem with the secondary is the play of the safeties. They're the ones that gave up the long TD on a slant and had the PI in the end zone. The main problem to me last night was the LB play. That's as bad as a game I've seen tackling since Beaumont Westbrook hung what was it 70 on us. We forget how bad those defenses really were during the Stafford years. That's what they looked like last night. I think McKinney North is a good offense but they not that good.

It looked like it was a collective effort in the stinking it up but our LBs absolutely cost us more then anything last night and the lack of pressure on the QB. You can't just keep sending 3 if you're not getting home. It's way to much time to ask our DBs to cover. I honestly didn't think the corners played bad. Yeah they gave up a few plays but that's just football. They tackle well and cover well for the most part. I put majority of the blame on the LBs just playing bad and we should of never moved Menefee from safety. Our FS play is bad. I think we should start #25 Waters back there. That kid is a football player. Overall a lot of blame to go around last night

I agree with all that.

Last night was more on the players then the coaching. The coaching sucked but they not the one missing tackles and dropping passes. I can't put all that on the coaches last night. At some point you have to have some pride and make a play. Just my thought.

For what it's worth I don't think we have better players then McKinney North to where we can over whelm them with talent. Just look at Duncanville. They're about as simple as you can get and they blow teams out because they're just so much better that's what I mean it's about the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Last night was on the coaches and the players. Next season is the year for me when the 25 class is all SRs. They will return 15 starters and handful of other kids that played a ton.

That's a good question. I know he wants to play and some of it was they were just doubling him and he couldn't get off the block. Same with Alexander. But honestly in a 3-4 they're really supposed to eat up blocks and the LBs are supposed to make plays and our LBs looked really bad last night. I also think we should have left Menefee at FS. So he can oversee everything. Instead you put him on one side of the field and they just run the other way majority of the time. This was the worst game Lufkin has played all year. They just did not look prepared. I'm about as discouraged as I can be. I still believe they will be much better next season but this year has been a complete disaster. The way Lancaster is playing I don't think we can beat them out for the last playoff spot. If we lose to JT that game won't matter anyway.

He is still hurt

You have to do something if you can't rush the QB. Letting him stand there is a recipe for disaster. I agree don't get predictable with it but I'm just saying we don't blitz near enough.

McKinney North defense is not good. He could had taken advantage of Preston all night. I'm over it. They will probably win these next two games and suck us in for another big let down game against Lancaster. I imagine they're going to really blow us out this year. I could go on and on about some other things but I know it would get me banned.

This would work but Green is stuck in his ways. It's definitely frustrating.

One positive from tonight I found out @wolfpack4lifeis a Lufkin fan 👀

I just don't understand it. We have up 3rd and super long 3 times tonight. That was essentially the ball game. We get those stops and we more then likely win. We don't have any natural pass rushers so we need to manufacture a rush. How do you do that? By sending 5-6 guys. Don't even give them time to develop a route to pick up 25 yards. Tonight was beyond frustrating. We have to be better then that.

Basketball season can't get here fast enough

Not gone but on a ventilator. I'm sure we can beat Tyler and WM but I have no faith we can do anything with Lancaster. They will have the athlete's to match up.

Tonight was on the defense.

We need something with a 4 and 5 man front. They got exposed bad tonight.

Burned our other timeouts on dumbs##t

He has no brain

Forney beat Lancaster so nevermind

Green is an idiot. Preston was cooking and you go away from him

It doesn't even looked like they watched film this game. Talk about no being prepared and not making adjustments. You don't have a pass rush. You have to send blitzes. This was a very winnable game and they absolutely botched it.

Preston scores on 2 deep balls and they don't throw it to him deep again. WTF is Green doing. Lancaster beat Forney too. Lufkin is officially in a bind.

It's really the pass rush. You can't hold someone that long and let the QB stand there

They're handling him and Alexander really well. 3rd down defense has been a disaster. Way to much time

Why we don't send the house on 3rd and super long. I may never know
