I can't wait to play with Cole McCoy. As much as I'm going to miss playing with a super star like Roenick, it's always nice to see an up and comer find his confidence and stride. I'll be shouldering more of the offensive workload this season, and there should be less pressure on McCoy than there was on Roenick, so it'll be great to get him in a situation where he's comfortable without too much pressure. As time goes up and McCoy finds his rhythm, it'll be fun to watch how the game plan changes to take advantage of his skill set. Teams are probably going to begin the season stacking the box against Portland, so there should be plenty of throwing lanes for McCoy to pick apart.
McCoy also seems like a great locker room presence. He's enthusiastic and a hard worker, everything you can ask for of a young QB. Portland probably isn't the overwhelming pre-season favorite like they've been in the past, but they'll put a strong team on the field week to week and should start clicking a little later in the season than usual. As long as we make the playoffs, I think there's a great chance at redemption to bring the Ultimini back home where it belongs, in Portland.
