LIES AND DECEPTION

What are lies? To tell a non-truth, to exaggerate a story. Deception, to deceive, not real, unbelievable. You may ask why is this important? well lets see why. Their have been many observers are doubters that say the Xpress are not having a team, the Xpress do not have players, they are even saying that the Xpress do not have Quality athletes, WELL ALL THESE ARE LIES! Those same observers want many to think that a particular organization is the best thing since slice bread, and that their are no problems in that organization. WELL THAT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME DECEPTION! The Xpress does have a team, the Xpress are 40 + players strong, the Xpress have recruited and signed many rookies, and Veteran free agents. The team is faster, stronger, and more athletic then any other team I have ever coached at this level. The season is only 7 weeks away, and the Xpress have 2 pre-season games in the next 5 weeks. So for all the outside observers and all the doubters come check out the Xpress as we take on the Dallas Warriors, and the Grand Prairie Titans on January 31st, and February 7th. AND DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR POPCORN!

LOCK AND LOAD

First day of practice in shoulder pads has ended, and even tho we didn't get a true chance to let the players display their hitting abilities, we did manage to get some excellent conditioning work done, I think the new gadgets that we brought out gave the guys a true test. and the players showed that all of the previous conditioning work paid off, all of the players performed admirably, and I was totally impressed with the results. Wednesdays practice brings a new obstacle we will hit hard and often. We have plenty of Wide Receivers and we will only keep 6, but which 6 we don't know just yet, word of advise, if you have not gotten your equipment, you better get it asap, you are quickly falling behind. I was totally disappointed in the players who don't know the route tree, and you know who you are, and the message that I am sending, is this! If You Don't Know The Route Tree By Wednesday Dec.3rd You Will Not I Repeat You Will Not Be Allowed To Work In The Offense Until You Know Them! This Also Includes The Quarterbacks! You guys just had a week off to study the tree so its no excuse for not knowing it! this lets me know that you are not taking this serious! Defense is looking pretty good, we have a lot of work to do but I am truly confident that the Defense is going to be very fast and very aggressive, with Derrick Blount being moved inside to tackle from strong side defensive end after gaining 20lbs in the off season, and defensive lineman of the year Robert Teal back the Xpress defensive has gotten faster, and stronger. With the departure of Diondre Shamlin being lost in free agency, the Xpress went out and signed Rookie John Kersey. And with the return of veteran Olu Ebo who came into camp 15lbs heavier, and Latalo Kefentse, the defensive line is going great havoc on opposing teams Quarterbacks, this will also take pressure off the Xpress secondary and make them more aggressive in coverage and create more turnovers and improve on the 9 interceptions the secondary had last season. As for the Linebackers, Sam Crawford looks to be the front runner at MLB, rookie Quentin Sarpy looks like he will man the strong side and with the signing of rookie looks to be the front runner at weak side Linebacker.Each Linebacker should finish with at least 50 tackles, a feat that was only accomplished by 1 player last season. To all of the players Remember to keep your head on a swivel! Lets continue to keep the numbers up in practice and keep your eyes on the Magnum Cup!
