What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
Our offense needs to spread the ball around to all our athletes. We have athleticism throughout the roster and we need to get touches to everyone. Our offensive line is going to have to step up and lead the team. With a move to a more diverse passing attack, it will be up to the line to give our qb time to throw the football.
What does your defense need to improve on from last year
We need to create turnovers on the defensive side of the football. We need to rally to the football every play. We can’t settle for one or two people making tackles. It will be important to get a pass rush and force double teams in order for our linebackers to run free.
What are your overall thoughts on this years team?
We have been very happy with the excitement of the team. The players have bought in to a new coaching staff, a new offense, and a new defense. We have been very happy with the play of our athletes and feel that a lot will depend on how our lines on both sides of the ball come together throughout summer camp.
