(S29) PT 1 - Training Camp

[Rise of Smitty]

After a disappointing season in which the Sarasota Sailfish were unable to defender their championship the crew came back ready to work. The defense is flying around the field, the offensive line is working together to build chemistry, and most importantly Tre'Darius J'Vathon is preparing to take over as the primary wide receiver on the outside. After back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons, J'Vathon is finally being entrusted as the top receiver on the food chain. Former running mate Michael Witheblock is nearing the end of his career and has made the transition to linebacker to cover up some of the holes that were created during free agency. So now the pressure is on J'Vathon as he is the veteran of the crew and along with James Angler has the most chemistry with quarterback Mike Boss Jr. Due to this J'Vathon has taken on the mentor role as well as needing to work extra hard on the little things in his game as he prepares for the new season. Training camp has been all about working on his endurance as he sat out a healthy amount of plays last season in certain running formations. Now he is going to be used in almost every formation and every down so J'Vathon has been working hard on his cardio. It seems like such a small part of the game but J'Vathon is going to be counted on more than ever on the offense so every single detail becomes elevated in importance.
