Xpress make 2 Major Resigning
That's right you heard it hear first! The DFW XPRESS make to major re-signings, when the organization resigned 2007, 2008 outstanding offensive player Chris Choice, and 2008 starting weak side linebacker Ced White to 2 year deals. It was a long fought process in negotiating to re-sign Chris Choice. Choice had originally left the Xpress at the end of the 2008 season to sign with the expansion franchise the Dallas Bengals of the TUFL, after several pre-season games and a lot of missed promises that were made. Mr. Choice was called by his former coach and organization about re-signing with his former team after a week of talks both the Xpress and Mr. Choice came to an agreement, and he re-signed on Feb.16Th 2009, what does this do for the Xpress? this just bolstered their offense and gives them an excellent receiver, who last year lead the Xpress in catches with 40, second in yards with over 650, and tied for second in TD with 7. When coach Vernon was asked why did he re-sign Choice? His response was "we needed an experience play maker that can do the dirty work in the middle of the field but still has the speed to get vertical" and an experience player who could teach our young guys. The Xpress also resigned OLB Ced White who last year lead the team in special team tackles, and finished 4Th on defense with over 35 tackles as he fought through nagging minor injuries throughout the 2008 season. In signing Mr. White the Xpress just made the defense faster and more aggressive. and the Defense in my opinion was already going to be one of the best defenses in the league. White being signed also makes the kick coverage a lot stronger and he brings a good understanding to the Vernon style 4-3 defense.
