That had to be the most informative that I've ever seen Sparano:

They are serious about our Secondary, they really do think that unit will be a strength this year, and the Crocker with the 1st team news makes sense now.

On Ronnie Brown playing week one:

Sparano was not being clear on that one, not sure what he meant but it seems like he thinks Ronnie has more confidence issues then physical ones.

On the tight ends:

Wow, Peele is reduced to "one of those other tight ends"..

David Martin has the lives of a cat, like a specialist left handed relief pitcher, you can stay on a team if you are a Te who can get open deep consistently.

 

good read as well.. Im just tired for Preseason lets get the real games going after this 3rd game!!!

 

Two extra regular season games would be fantastic. The best way to do it would be to have them be randomly generated from the remaining teams a team could possibly play.

 

I'm rooting for you Mauia, go and get it!

Excellent Q&A though. Probably the best I've read from him.

 

I sincerely believe that next year this is going to be a good team. We'll be alot better this year (although we still might now win a bunch of games) but I think next year all of this young talent will start to develop and we'll get another couple of impact players. It is a good time to be a Fins fan.

 

I agree 100%. We should be a playoff team next year for sure.

 

I think it depends Suncoast, one of our problems is we have all new players on opening day this year compared to last year.

(Pennington, Hagan, Ginn, Fasano, Long, Smiley, Thomas, Grigsby, Williams, Carey)

The only constant will be Samson Satele.

On defense we have 7 new starters on Defense some playing slots for us they never played before like Roth and Allen.

And a new ST unit, at kicker Carpenter, and the coverage unit.

All of that change makes it hard to predict how we will do, the only thing I feel confident in saying is that we will be a very very phyiscal team, and in the S. Florida heat, who knows how many wins that could give us?

 

Well... he is currently obsessed with SPecial Teams. He mentioned it THIRTEEN TIMES in a 15 minute Press Conference.

Rightly so, it's our weakest link based on the last pre-season game.

He is motivating this roster (especially the bubble guys) to show us something on STs.

This hurts Mauia's chances and helps Boomer.

And might cost me a 12-pack.

Come on Special Teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

TE position needs to be addressed.... hopefully in the draft next year if we don't find some hidden gem in FA. :up:
