They ran short on time with Pictures... This coaching staff is the best when it comes to controlling the a team. Everybody already has the devils dead in the water. I would not be surprised if they run this schedule. This devils team could be the best in 20 years. Defensively there gonna be hard to run on.. offensively if they find the right mixture of blockers there gonna be unstoppable.. It will all depend on the team as a whole. yes there problems but there not going to kill the season. Well should not at least.. Aug 26 will find out what this team has!!!!
reddevil90, I feel you may be getting a little ahead of yourself here. Although size is not going to be a problem, there are holes to fill on the offensive line. We have a new starting quarterback who has yet to face anything resembling a pass rush or a blitz. We have two new starting linebackers and new kids in the secondary, a secondary which was exposed last season by teams that could pass the ball. Special teams, particularly kick coverage and kick return were a trouble spot last season. We were fortunate to have athletes last season returning kickoffs and punts who made big plays sometimes on their own because the blocking was not there. We still need to tackle better. We need to be more aggressive on defense. Right now I am staying cautious despite the fact that this team has the potential to be a good one. Senior leadership is a concern I have. The coaching staff can only do so much. The seniors have to step up. If this team stumbles and loses an early season game and does not have seniors leading, it could spell trouble.
