This year's team will have a lot of shoes to fill on defense and offense. Yes, we have some great talent returning in the back field but we need the strength on the line too!!Speed and vision are a gift, but "team-work" has to be learned. Don't think we will air the ball out to much, however, the backs we do have can catch the ball under pressure. I would say look for more speed than strength next year. I hope we have both the strength and the speed. Right now is the time that the boys should be "beefing up" in the weight room and start getting serious if we are to have a chance this year. I think Ivan will key on a back that has the ability to block for a runner and carry up the middle to take the hard hits. Bender, did a great job last year. But he didn't turn out to be the back that hits the middle with the ball that we are use to. SPEED SPEED SPEED!
