This was a whirlwind of an offseason for Beau Montgomery. It all began with the San Antonio Marshalls being eliminated in a playoff matchup that many expected them to win. After the games were done, it was straight to scouting and team meetings in preparation for the draft. Beau was approached by a few teams before the draft but when the dust settled, Beau was a member of the Colorado Yeti. Montgomery flew into Colorado immediately after the draft to began preparations for the upcoming season; during this period, Montgomery underwent his controversial surgery to alter his bone structure so he could position swap.
The Yeti were woefully thin in the secondary, a fact which Montgomery brought up at his first meeting with his new managers and he went one step further and offered up a solution; Beau would switch from linebacker to become their top outside corner. Now, this does not fix Colorado overnight but it does offer a glimmer of hope for the future; a team without shutdown corners will, in fact, get shut down. The Yeti has a high powered offense that should see them in the mix for that last playoff spot but the difference could come down to how the young defenders figure out their roles.
