allentown_dieruffHead coach Kyle Beller Q&A

 

Q. What are the key things we should know about your offense?

A. We need to work on improving our tempo and getting a push on the line of scrimmage.  The players that will impact our offense are all 11 guys on the field they know they need to work together to move the ball.

Shakur lester is a big part of the offense running the ball and Chris marks is our QB and needs to make great reads.

Kasey Myers needs to have a big year at WR and RB and Mike Whitehead anchors our offensive line.

 

Q. What are the key things we should know about your defense?

A. The defense is a year older and needs to get more physical.  We need 11 hats to the ball.  The players that need to be leaders on our defense are Maverick Mercer and Brian Sutton at linebackers.

Kasey Myers and Shakur Lester lead our secondary and Justin Diominico and Badiah Haddad anchor our d-line.

 

Q. What are the key things we should know about your special teams? Who are your kick and punt returners? Who are your kicker and punter?

A. We have had more focus on special teams to help win the close games.  Our returners are Shakur Lester and Kasey Myers with newcomer Jon Jackson and also Andreh Nemeth. Our kickoff guy is Jayden Reyes, which also plays slot receiver, and safety for our team and Andreh Nemeth is our XP kicker.
