What are your expectations for your team this year?
As a team, our number expectation is to introduce and install our offense, defense, and special teams. We will need to evaluate players in each position and develop our schemes based on our skill sets. Throughout the season the expectation is to compete for inch, every yard, in every game.
When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
Our number one key to success on the offensive side of the ball will be our ability to grasp the offense and execute at a very the highest level. Our Offensive line will need to be extremely physical and our skills players will need to match their physicality each and every play.
When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
On the defensive side of the ball we must tackle…rally to the football and be the most physical unit on the field each week. Execution of out stunts, blitzes, and coverages will be key to winning the turnover battle.
