What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We are going to need some players to develop into playmakers for us. We are losing several talented offensive players from last season, along with the best athlete I have seen at Jenkintown, Johnson John. We do bring back most of our offensive line and have a few players competing for starting spots on the line. Adon Harris and Iman Jackson did a great job last season with the ball in their hands and we will continue to lean on them. If the offensive line continues to get better and develop, and we do a good job taking care of the football we should have some success this season.
What does your defense need to improve on from last year
We are hoping depth on the defensive line allows us to rotate some key guys and keep them fresh. We have a few players that got some experience on defense last year that we will be looking to take a step forward this year, including Alexander Williams and Jordan Dill. Darrell Chapman had a solid season defensively last year and we are hoping he will build on that. Alon Harris was incredible at linebacker last season, if we can get a similar effort out of him this year we should be in decent shape defensively.
