Q. What are the key things we should know about your offense?
A. We run a multiple offense that utilizes a lot of formations both under center and in the shotgun. We adapt our scheme to fit our personnel.
We have a veteran group on the offensive line with several players having varsity experience. They are Ty Marinelli, Logan Koehler, Dalton Hammer, Alex Ardle and Alex Quaglieri. We are hoping their experience will help the team improve on its ability to run the ball from last season.
On offense we are looking to quarterback Cory Croll, running back Tyler Jackson, wide receiver Christian Pinnock and running back Devon Turner to be playmakers for us this season, along with others.
Q. What are the key things we should know about your defense?
A. We are going to run an attacking defense based on a four-man front. Positions on defense are wide open, but we look for the secondary to be much improved this year with the help of Jovani Datis-Cordero, Tyler Jackson, Andrew Szerencsits, Christian Pinnock, and Mario Delker.
Our defensive line also has a lot of varsity experience with Logan Koehler (Jr.) leading the way. We are also looking for big things from senior d-lineman Casey Danner, Ty Marinelli, Dalton Hammer, Alex Quaglieri, and Jared Schmall.
Q. What are the key things we should know about your special teams?
A. We are trying out guys in the next week. Hopefully we can find someone from this. I am a new coach, so a lot of things are up in the air.
