AJ had probably his best game of his career. Did an outstanding job ! Threw some good passes and showed a lot of touch. Looked very good last night both throwing and running the ball.

welp, Smith is the starter now i see. Hope PNG has an electric WR somewhere on the REZ.

I feel this game was a big confidence booster for AJ. He made some great passes and runs. Even if Walker comes back and takes snaps you have to deal with AJ at receiver. In the Lumberton game AJ went up and caught a pass with one hand. Looked like he palmed it. Great dual threat player.

Playing Lumberton would help anyone's confidence. ;)

Exactly what I was thinking!!!!

That's to bad about Walker. He is a fine young man. We really miss him at HF.

Congrats to AJ for finishing the game strong for the Indians.

He wasnt ditched in the first quarter as QB...he hurt his hand.

That's what I meant by "to bad about Walker". I read the article.

You stole the words right out of my mouth. PNG should've throttled Lumberton.

Offense not the problem... Defense line got very little pressure and secondary made lymberton receivers look like Calvin Johnson with an usain bolt twist....

[pngfan66]

D line played gap containment for the run. Also the d line had 4 sacks. I would say that was decent.

[dmeast11111]

What ever they played...not very good....lumberton is not a good team.... Only scored 8 pts all season.... 25 against PNG d....PNG Defense just not as good as years passed.... Not an insult just truth....I am a PNG fan.... Gotta do better in this district this year.....

I gotta agree defense hurt us. It was bad against them, I can only imagine what it will look like on down the road. For some reason the defense isn't what we would like it to be. It seemed like everytime lumberton ran the ball they were moving the chains. I'm not gonna dwell on it too much a win is a win no matter how ugly it is. Hope the soph qb makes a speedy recovery, but for now it is AJ 's time to shine. Hope he can learn from last weeks game and continue this week. He made some very good plays and one or two bad ones. No need to look back, ndns just need to move forward and keep their heads up and go with it.

[badndn]

Yes, Bia, I agree AJ looked more assertive running the ball. He made more good plays than he did poor plays with his arm and legs. LCMs defense looks like they are having similiar troubles as ours. Could be a high scoring afair which we have become accustomed to lately. Lets hope we outscore 'em and move to 2-0.
