| What does your offense need to improve on from last year? |
| We need to be more consistent. To do that, we need to stay healthy. I we can, we should be able to move the football well. This is the most talented group of skill kids that I have had in my 8 years at GA. Our OL will be young, but what they may lack in experience, they will make up with athleticism. It should be a fun group to watch grow and develop together. |
| What does your defense need to improve on from last year |
| We need to stop the run more consistently. We did that well when we won the Inter-Ac championship (shared with MP) in 2016. The last 2 seasons have seen a drop off from the ability to be consistent run stoppers. If we get back to that form, we should be a solid defensive unit. |
| What are your overall thoughts on this years team? |
| I really like our kids. We have had good numbers for our summer training programs. We have also been a tough matchup for teams in our pass game leagues. It is still way to early to give accurate thoughts on what we can be but I think this team is off to a good start. |
