Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?
Matt Skeffington (WR) – Very athletic with great hands
Justin Criss (LB) – Big, Strong and Fast for his position
Shaylin Bond (WR)- Quick off the line with great hands
Tyler Overlin (SS)- Can play in the tackle box as well as in coverage Daniel Morford (SS)- Smart and instinctive on the field
Jacoby Cunningham (QB)- Dual threat quarterback that can hurt you with both his feet and arm
What type of offense can we expect to see in 2016? Up Tempo-Try to score as fast as we can.
What type of defense can we expect to see in 2016? Fast and physical defense that causes turnovers.
What will your team do well?
Offensively we should throw the ball well. Defensively we should have great team speed.
What are the questions marks for this team heading into the 2016 season?
The biggest question mark will be how well the defense is going to play this year. We gave up a lot of points last year. Can some of the new comers step up on defense and execute when we need them to.
What’s something about this team worth noting?
This year’s team will be fun and exciting to watch. I think a lot of people will be impressed with the new guys filling some key roles this year.
