It's been a difficult season in Norfolk, but nothing we weren't expecting. Any time you have as many call-ups as we've had, you're going to have growing pains and that's what we've experienced this season. The coaches and our front office have done a phenomenal job of even getting us where we are right now and I actually think we've overachieved based on our roster. The good news is that the group of rookies we have are looking like really strong contributors for the future and we've used this season to really grow as a young core together. We know that the future of Norfolk will be decided by how well we play and we've absolutely embraced that challenge. I never like to lose, but this season we've definitely been able to focus more on the process and trying to improve day in and day out. We knew this would not be a "results" season but I truly think we are built to last for the future. We'll be back in the playoffs in short order and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see us hoist another Ultimini in a season or two. Between Forty-Two, Delacour, Teboat, Salamanca, and Rune on offense, and me, Shack, and Rogers on defense, we are built to compete from the opening snap next season. We'll miss Seawolf legends like Jaxon-Waxon, but the veteran leadership that players like him have instilled in the young 'Wolves has been invaluable. I have no doubt that this is just a minor hiccup on the road back to greatness in Norfolk.
