You shouldn’t have asked the question if you didn’t want to hear the answer. Special Teams (ST)
1. No more 45 yd and 49 yd kickoff returns in a single playoff game to a team with a losing record. no more 30 yd punt returns in a single playoff game. ST kicking strategy and coverage schemes have been a problem the entire season.
2.Clueless to make the necessary ST adjustments.
3. Our most explosive tackling machine special team player #32 is no longer on the team roster.
4. PNG will face D1 players fielding kickoffs and punt returns that are the best open space runners in the state with speed and power to burn. Yet PNG ST will not change and continue to put the ball in their hands. It’s about to get ugly real soon.

I don’t like it when outsiders disrespect and bully PNG. Indian Nation fans are always a pillar of strength and support.
But when Indian nation fans are deprived from attending a game due to a decision to play a 6PM Thursday game in the work week. Why ? Why would PNG ever agree to that? Hello, Thanksgiving holidays are next Thursday week did PNG forget!
What’s the difference between this and a home on home flip for a Saturday game. Surely the underdog Kaufman team would take that coin toss. Indian nation would travel and turn that into a “home” game. Did you forget.
PNG has the veteran experience in venue selection. Why is PNG letting others outmaneuver and bully PNG. Liberty Hill would never have conceded to such an outcome.
example of a “chaotic” year. Only superior PNG talent has prevented this season from going off the road and into the ditch up to now.
I drive 155 miles into Port Neches on Friday to attend hone games in person to support the team on the field and the students performing in the stands and on the field at halftime. Doing Kindergarten math that’s 310 miles round trip for every home game this season. I could be a TV zombie and stay home. But the players, band, indianettes, cheerleaders deserve a verbal acknowledgement / appreciation for their hard work.
New Caney is a much shorter hop for me and no Houston traffic to battle through. I personally have no “Dog” in this road trip fight. Sorry for the pung Nederland Cousins.
I don’t ever want PNG to be “road kill”. With Indian Nation fans in attendance we can and do impact the game. Why would others go to such great lengths in fear to minimize its impact.
Maybe we lost a coin flip regarding the day/date of the game? Maybe it was a venue selection problem and we lost a coin flip. Too many varibles to guess what happened. Thursday, Friday, or Saturday doesn't matter. Here's to the Indians showing up and kicking them up and down the field. Here's to PNG fans showing up in force, being loud, and enjoying another W. GO INDIANS!
Next man up. The opportunity is there for someone else to make an impact. GO INDIANS!
People get on here and complain when the pooch kick the kickoff. Complain when they try to kick deep. It is as certain as death and taxes. We do not have a kicker capable of putting it into the end zone every time so let's all hear what your suggestion is?
32 is no longer on the team for very good reason no matter how many tackles he made on special teams.

Fans will be fans. Few high school kickers can send it out the back of the EZ. Doesn’t matter where the ball is kicked if the KO team gets down the field, stays in their lanes and someone makes a tackle, all is good. It’s amazing how all the problems go away when you have playmakers out there.
I’m just glad the NCAA and high school haven’t adopted the weird NFL kickoff rules.

They will eventually get rid of kickoffs altogether. Followed by punt returns. Idiotic.

The following is a scouting report from a young man who played against Kaufman this season and won. His team was a 4A-D2 team that ended the season with a 5-5 record.
Love a good jet sweep, they’ve got a helluva receiver #15 big man, qb does well under pressure. Defense has big linebackers, no pass rush at all, our qb had all day, gotta be able to run power pulling thre guards in the run game, pretty good against the deep ball.

This opponent was Lake Dallas, and their game vs Kaufman is on youtube. Based on watching this game, I would say we should be able to move the ball against Kaufman on both the ground and the air. On offense, they were a big play team in this game. Not consistent on either the ground or in the air, but enough big plays to make a close game of it. Their QB has a strong arm but does not seem particularly accurate. He is mobile but did not appear to be a major run threat during this game. They threw a lot of short passes of the screen and/or play action type. They have a decent running game but we have faced much better many times this year. After watching this game my previous conclusion has not changed: if we do not take them too lightly and play relatively mistake free, I feel relatively confident we will be moving on to the next round. My biggest concern is probably ST, as we have had problems with allowing big returns all year and they do have some speedy backs. As much as I hate pooch kicks, if we cannot get that fixed that may be the way to go.
