XPRESS Make Major Signing
Thats right you heard it first right here the Xpress re-sign 2008 TUFL ALLSTAR nominee Diondre Shamlin to a 1 year deal. It had been rumored that Shamlin had signed with the Dallas Bengals, but that was just a rumor, When coach Truman and Mr. Shamlin talked the negotiations lasted 3 days, but in the end Shamlin wanted to re-sign with the club that he had his best season with. Shamlin led the Xpress and the TUFL in forced fumbles with 9 from his defensive tackle spot, he is 6'3 310lbs and a monster in the middle of a defense that already is looking great. When coach Vernon was asked about the signing of Shamlin all coach Vernon could do was Smile, and say oh my god! With us adding Shamlin, our Defense will be the best in the league, just his presence will make life a whole lot easier for Robert Teal Jeremy Rutherford and Derrick Blount the team should respond with at least 40 sacks! that's 4 a game for this defense, and it should take a lot of pressure off our secondary.With our different blitz packages we should be able to create havoc on opposing offenses from all angles.
