What does your offense need to improve on from last year? |
We tend to come out of the gates slow and inconsistent execution from a youth OL slowed us at times. We need to throw the ball more consistently and execute our game plan each quarter. |
What does your defense need to improve on from last year |
We will need to become more consistent from week to week and quarter to quarter to achieve consistent defensive success. Health will also play a huge role in our defensive production each week. |
What are your overall thoughts on this years team? |
We have a lot of special team players to replace to solidify the kick and return game. Several key starters on both sides of the ball return but, QB is a key to our offensive production. Defensively we have holes to fill with the departure of Colton Burd, Caleb Rockey, and Kyle Myers but, some young eager players waiting their turn. Senior leadership will drive this season and the success will can achieve. |
