What are your expectations for your team this year?
We are excited to show what we can do over a full season. We believe we are strong upfront on both sides of the ball and have some explosive playmakers outside. We feel like our team has put in the work in the offseason and we are ready to go 1-0 each week.
When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
We want to establish the run and use tempo and explosive plays to push the pace. We think we will be able to put ourselves in position to score every week.
When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
We believe in rallying all 11 to the ball. If we are able to stop the run and play as an 11 man unit we will be successful.
