Been a while but we are gett8ng spanked. Brenham RB just too good

He’s good but the big difference is their o-line is good and ours isn’t. They’re bigger, but also better. Our problems aren’t just because we’re smaller. Our o-line is just bad.

Brenham is what we had the last few years. Big on the lines and able to execute.

It’s like watching us from the last few years. Similar scheme too. 

[FrodoNDN]

Yep, not always gonna be the big dog, but we can learn and move forward with better game plan. We still have potential

Brenham team reminds me of the '22 and '23 PNG teams. 

[FrodoNDN]

They are good. We are ok, just not where we were. Have an opportunity to c9mpete and learn. Can't dominate forever, but I think we'll bounce back

Well, it'd be easy to say that the 3rd quarter is PNG's nemesis so far this season, we've been outscored by a total of 68-14 per MaxPrep box scores.  But the truth is that we're a smaller team all-around, and just a good team this year, and struggling to be any more than that.  It'll make for an interesting district race. 

Always a good competitor, but last night we were over matched, unlike any game I've seen since the SOC game in '24.  When and if we clean up some mistakes, and the o-line develops, then we'll be better.  There was one play where it looked like our whole o-line just stood straight up, and a defender came straight through to tackle the QB, like a play you'd see at the peewee level.  The D-lineman that played against the Brenham left tackle (6' -7", ~275 or so) did the best he could I guess, but the D-line as a whole really struggled more than any game I've seen so far this year.  

Will they bounce back and make it a race in district?  We'll see.

The o-line standing straight up is something I’m glad someone else noticed. Their technique is just bad. The o-line teaching has regressed.

PNG is a more explosive and better on offense as a whole with Gohkle as QB1…. May be time to make him the full time starter for a game

I agree. These coaches know what they are doing and it has shown in the past. This year has been a bit different then those past teams. We are smaller in size in the trenches and you have to adjust as to how you execute the plays.This is what is going on right now in preseason and these bleacher coaches who think they are better coaches then the ones on the field just need to keep their opinions to their selves. This set of coaches are going to make these adjustments and put the best product on the field they can with this group. This is how it's been done in the past it just wasn't as obvious as this year. That is what these bleacher coaches don't understand and it shows that they don't know anything about putting a team together with different players every year and adjusting to that groups abilities.
