I had a chance to travel to Brazoswood Saturday and watch the scrimage, all I can say is the OFFENSE looks really good with Dolzel at QB the offense has improved, all running backs looked really good, running hard blocking very good passing game was great to watch.
The DEFENSE well that's another story, If Finley puts that same defense on the field come the regular season theVipers will not win very many games the defense is AWFUL they can't tackle, the linebackers need to be replaced one linebacker was the slowest linebacker I have ever seen. Brazoswood ran up and down the field on the Vipers, and when Brazoswood went to throw the ball the corners couldn't cover the safety was SLOW to react, and missed a lot of tackels.
Coach Mickey Finley I have been told MANY time that I have to give you a chance to turn things around and STOP beating you and your coaches up in the Advocate, well let's just say I will be a team player moving forward but the entire season is in YOUR hands to see how you fix the DEFENSE I know you saw everything every other person sitting in the stands saw, POOR DEFENSE, POOR COACHING ON DEFENSE,POOR COMMUNICATION ON DEFENSE, and the only thing I can say is if you play the same DEFENSE you played in Brazoswood you better hope your NEW OFFENSE CAN PUT UP SOME POINTS. BY the way your new O.C. great pick up you can see the effects of him already.
One more thing for Little Coach Finley when the other team is RUNNING the ball straight up the middle IT'S NOT THE SMARTEST THING TO BE YELLING PASS,PASS,PASS, AND THE BALL CARRIER IS SCORING AT THE SAME TIME.I thought a D.C. would be able to tell the diffrence between RUN AND PASS.
Hope to make the next scrimage in Corpus on friday to see what changed, if not I hope to read about it in the advocate. Good Luck Offense

Vipers will be doing very good to get 3 to 4 wins under their belt. If they win 4 or maybe even 5 games this year, it will be a tremendously successful year. Good Luck Vipers.

Hope Vipers dont pass the ball too often? (justmythought) have you ever seen a Vipers game? They have run the ball atleast 90% of the time in most games. Passing is what they need to do more of.

The weak spot for the team is at receiver. I don't understand how they can put last years lame cornerbacks coach with receivers. Has it not been proven he is not an effective coach? The receivers were dropping balls on Saturday and apparently the wrong routes with all the yelling going on. Offensive line looks good. I just hope we don't pass the ball too often.
