What are your expectations for your team this year? 
With good health we will be competitive in the upper half of our division.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success? 
Young guys up front need to sustain blocks for Simmon. QB Flud or Navarette need to find rhythm with young WR’s. Faraco and Thompson will be leading the way for Simmon.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success? 
Inexperienced secondary must hold their own. Need pressure form experienced guys up front. Solid LB work from Simmon and Thompson should be important.

Players we should keep an eye on? 
Simmon. He is going be one of the top players in the league as long as he stays healthy.
Thompson is a physical force and Faraco will be an all league candidate on both sides of the ball. Anxious to see young guys Wolfe and Santiago on the front lines.
