Ozen@PNG

Not sure what everyone else's kicker can do, but Nederland's has a leg to maybe get it down to the 10 or so, a reasonable 20 yard return puts it at the 30 as it is with the risk of a larger return.  Most of the pooch kicks I've seen are fair caught around the 30 - 35 so it's a pick your poison for Nederland.  Not sure about PNG's kickers leg, but it didn't appear to be too much different to where he could get it in the endzone.  Just my two cents.  Coaches do these things for a reason and it's not to prevent their teams from winning, Faircloth and Neumann seem to have their heads screwed on fairly well when it comes to coaching strategy.

I haven't seen our kicker get it into the endzone not one time. Cant say that he can't reach it, maybe I don't know, but I hste the pooch kick. Field position down deep is a lot better thsn giving them the ball at the 30 or 40 yardline.I say kick it deep and make a tackle.

[Brubaker]

Seems kind of contradictory, can't not one time reach the endzone, but want to kick it deep?

[NDNation]

We had East last year, awesome kicker.

[Bigdog]

NDN, I can't stand the pooch. I haven't seen many returns for a TD in our District anyway. Kick it to the end zone & cover your lanes. Give good teams a short field, you're gonna pay. I guarantee the playoff opponent will appreciate it. Ozen will definitely take it. Will help us with our field position issues. Thanks

 

 

I agree.  It sure didn't help us against Central and I questioned it during the game.  Now the onside kicks are a different matter.

[NDOMAKONG]

Nederland pooched every kick against PNG

[TradinUp BH]

Could be a trap game for PNG.

[prepballfan]

I talked with some players they are extremely focused and not taking Ozen lightly as they should not!!!

[19Bulldog99]

Turnovers! If Ozen has 2 or less turnovers this will turn into a shootout.

[BMTSoulja1]

Ozen - 29

PN-G - 42

[409Fan]

This game is quite interesting. I'm going with an upset folks........by saying the game will be closer than you think. A 28-42 PNG win is quite tempting to take but I'm not calling this one a breeze for the Indians

[hypewos]

Ozen have recently made some interesting changes on the offensive side of the ball that I saw against us that I think can hurt PN-G. Will they do this vs PN-G? I don't know. But defensively, I dont think Ozen can match up with PN-G.
Ozen - 28
PN-G - 42

PNG will be ready to take the frustration of last weeks loss out on Ozen. PNG 38 Ozen 20.

Central and ozen has too much talent not 2 be 1&2 not taking nothing from the other schools in that district but ozen needs 2 step it up specialy in that area of coaching

Honestly they just need to run an offense that is best suited for the players and quit making the players fit their schemes

[badndn]

Or maybe alot of folks just confuse Athletic Ability with Football Talent as a whole.

[Stattrax]

Should be a good one.....

Yep, been hearing the "Central and Ozen should dominate this district every year " statement for a long time, especially when Ozen opened.

Talent is there, unfortunately most don't understand that Talent alone doesn't WIN.

I'll take hard work & dedication over a Talented kid any day of the week.

BINGO. Thats what makes a great Football Player and there are way more Athletes out there that will never get it then there are Football Players that do get it.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Welp not going to this one after all, to close to gametime as Oregon.

I agree.

[biaplayer]

To answer you kicking it around the 10 I would consider deep for our kicker vs the 35 or 40 yard line. Is that easy enough for you to understand???

[Stattrax]

Kick it like your mad  at it !!!!!

[Indianforever]

Any possibility Giblin makes it back for the playoffs?
