Who would you consider your biggest competition in the ASFC going forward?
After dominating the regular season, why do you think you guys fell so hard to OCO (aside from "coming out flat")?
Where have you seen the biggest improvement so thus far in your game?
1. I have no concern of those players leaving. I like to think we have a tight knit locker room and I've gotten no sense that any of those players want to leave. Plus, why would you get off the ride now? We're hitting our stride right now, doesn't make sense to jump off a moving train. Those players are huge reasons for our play so I'd hope they want to see where out potential is.
2. It's the Otters. Having a young star quarterback and running back is huge in the NSFL. Their defense is top notch as well so I don't see them going away. The Outlaws aren't even in our thoughts and the Second Line had their time, let them go ride in the sunset and try again in a couple of seasons.
3. We actually didn't come out flat, not at the beginning anyway. The first half went really well for us. Our defense was strong and we held the lead. I have no idea what happened when we came out of the tunnel for the second half, but everything fell apart. The offense just fell off a cliff. We couldn't get the ball to our playmakers and drives just kept stalling. Our defense forced enough punts for us, but we couldn't keep them off the field long enough to recover and I think they were just exhausted. The offense really let us down in that game, myself included.
4. To be honest, the only improvement in my game has been in the red zone. My touchdown numbers improved and I understand that's what matters most, but outside of those numbers, everything else was underwhelming. I'm big and strong enough to get separation in the red zone which gives Christ a target to hit every time. I'm going to work with Christ in the off-season to work on our timing and hopefully see some improvements.
