Here We Go Again
The Xpress make 2 more major signings last week. The Xpress signed 2 time outstanding offensive player of the year Chris Choice, and OLB Ced White, but the signings did not stop there, February 23rd the Xpress make 2 more major resigning, this time they resign 6'4 280lb defensive tackle Kenneth Mcgill and monster defensive end Dameon Collins to two year deals.
When coach Vernon was asked why is he still signing defensive players? his response was " You can never have too many great defensive players, this keeps everyone well rested and you can keep the offense on their heels at all points of the game". When we played the Dallas Bengals a few weeks ago Collins was a constant disruption against our offense, so what do we do? we go after the player that was causing that disruption and after 48hrs of negotiations we land Collins. In signing Mcgill, we talked after the season opener against the Pitbulls we work out some details and inked him to his contract on the 23rd. What does this do for us in signing both players? think about the Baltimore Ravens and their defense and then picture them adding Julius Peppers and Albert Haynesworth this will tell you what the Xpress has just done.
