Bayou Bowl coaching

[panamamyers]

Ban me if you must, but this is the display of "coaching" I have ever seen in a high school football game. Westfield, you fans have my deepest sympathy for having to live with this offensive coordinator. If the run up the middle doesn't work the first 75 times you try it, just go on and try it a lil more. That's the philosophy. The one time they went to 4 wide and sent some people deep, John Sorsby was open and overthrow. On the same play, Rashad Mohammed was a good 10 yards behind the nearest defender, qb just locked onto Sorsby. Regardless, they just went right on back up the middle the next 15 plays after that.
The coach who chewed out Rashad Mohammed for lining up incorrectly needs to spend less time doing that and more time signing up for a coaching clinic.

By the way #3 is Rashad Mohammed, #2 is Jack Freeman. The rosters are wrong.

[panamamyers]

I got fed up and came home by the way. I only live 2 minutes from the stadium luckily. Poor, poor showing by the Texas coaches tonight.

[supercentex]

Team should be running the spread.

can you tell me if Dez Bryant is playing.

[panamamyers]

I don't think he's playing. The only tall black receiver was Florence from LaMarque

[Favpack]

I've never heard of many of the Texas players - getting beat up by Louisiana.

Jaime Fernandez from Lufkin is kicking.

[PurpleNation]

Dez was suppose to be the featured player for Texas. He is the highest ranked player on the Texas roster.

They should have gotten Jeremy Claybon to play QB and run the spread around him then this would have been a game.

[panamamyers]

Texas has some ok players, but nothing special.
The defensive line is really bad. The linebackers aren;'t much better.
I think the receivers are the best part of the equation. Sorsby, Florence, Freeman and Mohammed should be enough to move the ball. These quarterbacks allegedly come from throwing systems, but you cannot tell it looking at them tonight.

Louisianna's Defense looks like Euless Trinity's defense for this next year.

I guess this is what happens when a bunch of 2A and 3A players from Texas step on the fiels with Loiusana's elite.

Halftime score ?

[panamamyers]

It can still be a game. Texas will have receivers wide open all day if they want to go that route. Texas is too quick for the LA defensive backs, but Meekins is too worried about trying to reach 100 running plays on the night.

LMAO. Maybe they should have let SLC's staff do this one.

[panamamyers]

Again Spring Westfield, you have my sympathies.

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Tx 7
LA 28

Top of the 3rd Qtr.

Just picked off a HORRIBLE pass from this Cotton kid. Damn... this is BS!

[Willieg]

I played for coach Meekins and my brotha plays for him now and I can call his plays out 1 afta another by the formation be for the snap. At Westfield they rely on defense. Most of the athletes play on defense thatz why their defense is always good.

Sooner or later an OC needs to find a way to put some points on the board or maybe find a JV coaching job. This is horrible. But this is not completly his fault it's not like they have a whole lot of D1 talent out there.

[Drake]

You guys need to get a little perspective. I think these teams had about 3 practices and Louisiana's team is loaded with a lot of D1 players (including alot of SECers).

[Favpack]

Let's just send SLC next year. Anyway you slice it - LA will be crowing for a year.

[panamamyers]

They are down by 24, 4th quarter, still trying to pad Dwayne Stewart's rushing stats. lol

The Houston team is not very talented. The coaches don't have a whole lot to work with.
Still, the play calling stinks, as willieg has attested to.

[panamamyers]

Not only is #2 not Rashad Mohammed, Deer Park does NOT play in our district.

[Hoodleboy80]

i agree, i think the receivers were the strong point of the offense and needed to get the ball more. sorsby was open alot, and the qbs just couldnt get him the ball, and then they forced it when he was in double coverage. the qbs couldnt get in a rythm, not only because of the rotation but also cause they would through like once every 7 plays. it was 3rd and 12 and the coaches called a trap! I know the plays are raw and its easier to run then pass, but the LA defense was just too fast and filling the hole too quickly to run the ball the whole time

[The King]

I noticed that both teams were required to run a 4-3 defense to increase scoreing. This works well if both teasm run, but a true 4-3 doesn't work well with the spread. They needed to allow the defenses to make some adjustments. Also Texas feilds other all-star teams so the Texas team was really some of the best from Texas against The Best from Louisiana.

[RidgePride]

When you match top players vs top players from each state, the game is totally unpredictable year to year.

There is just not enough time with the players for coaching to be much an issue.

[KT2000]

These all-star games should mean little to nothing as far as comparing talent. You can't throw a couple of teams together in the deep off-season and get anything meaningful from a game between them aside from seeing glimpses of individual athletic ability. The offenses usually look horrid in these games because the players and coaches have never played with each other and the play calling must be kept very basic for that same reason.

I love to run the ball,but if after hitting a brick wall everytime it's time to try something else maybe I wrong.......tell me help me out

I dont ever get really too excited about All-Star games. That's why you'll never see me predict a winner or loser in them.

I've been on record about a 1000's times saying you could get the top 50 kids from Louisiana, Top 100 from Texas, Top 100 from Florida, Top 100 from Cali and hell, even the top 15 from probably Rhoda Island and they could all play pretty even most years.

So, I've always agreed these games are about seeing individual skills and talent more than who is really the best. One year team "A" may have better individual talent. The team with the best individual talent most times will win the games.

I think Louisiana the last couple of years has had better talent in the Bayou game. There has been tons of great talent in the Houston area that hasnt played in that game. I dont blame them for one reason or another they choose not to play. But, it would be nice to see many of the better "Blue-Chips" come play in that game and show off their individual skills.

Oklahoma has about 1/4 the pure talent that Louisiana has. I'm talking individual "size, speed and power" for the next level type of kids.

[N2TheRed]

I Was On The Sideline With Willowridge Head Coach Darrell Scurlock. He Told Me Before The Kickoff That Texas Didn't Stand A Chance. I Got A Chance To Speak With Jamie Fernandez After The Game, And He Told Me Dez Bryant Was Nursing A Foot Injury. I Asked Jamie Why He Choose SFA, And He Told Me That Was His Best Offer. I Also Asked Him If He Would Be Transferring To A D-I School Down The Road, And He Stated We'll Just Have To See.

The Players Were Very Frustrated On The Sidelines, As Were The Coaches. I Got The Opportunity To Speak With A Few People That Night.

[7on7junkie]

Oil Bowl is fun because the Okies hate us with a passion.....I wish for one of the out of state games there would be a true Texas all-star team...but it won't happen

[Oiler99]

isn't it kinda ironic that pearland known for its offense, was the defensive coaches and westfield known for its defense was the offensive coachs.

The Houston All-Star team would of been better off if QB-Sam Proctor (Oklahoma) was their QB. At least him or Jarrett Lee (LSU). I dont know why neither of these kids played or if they were even asked.

[78 Spartan]

I was totally underwhelmed by Cotton Turner. His stats aside, he didn't look like he belonged physically in an all star game.

JJ McDermott had a bad night, but at least he looked like a reasonable QB prospect to me.

Louisiana's defense looked way too physical for us. It is no wonder that LSU is now a perennial national power. I think you'd have to consider Louisiana to be the #4 state in the country talent wise behind only Texas, Florida and California. And the Tigers get 90% of what they want in Louisiana.
