IT'S That Time Of Year

Yes it's that time of year, the Xpress Veterans prepare to return to camp and see what free agents and rookies were invited to camp, and who will be pushing them for their starting positions.This off season has brought much new talent to the organization, the off season rookie camp has been great in numbers and these new accusations have shown their willingness to work hard with no complaints. The position battles will heat up,at QB, RB, LB, and DB, but competition makes for a better team, and it helps you get the best talent on the field.Each Sunday the rookies and free agents practice's bring new faces and new talent.This years team should definitely be better then last years team, not because we lost players which was only a few, but because we return 19 out on 22 starters, and because of the free-agents we have signed and because the rookies from 2009 are veterans for 2010.This is the first time that I have ever coached a team that brought back 98% of it's roster and a team that won 80% of it's game the previous year.The 2010 Xpress team is pushing for greatness and has it eyes set on being the NMLF 2010 Champion!

Xpress Makes Major Off Season Signing

At the end of last season the Xpress made it known that the organization would go hard after free agents to make the team stronger and more competitive then last season, and that's just what the organization went out and accomplished, they signed free agent DE/OLB Jody Linville to a 2 year deal. This signing was a major deal for our franchise. With all star weak side linebacker Gabriel Langley retiring, the Xpress signed Linville who was with the now defunct Dallas Bengals. He was their leading tackler and lead the team with double digit sacks. Signing Linville gives us a bigger WLB and a player that can play as a blitzing Linebacker in our 3-4 scheme or can be moved down to DE as a pass rusher.He is a player that has a non stop motor just like NMLF MVP Jeremy Rutherford and runner-up in sacks on the team Damian Collins. This signing was a major upgrade to the defense.

Rookies Report To Camp

The Xpress had its first ever rookie camp and it was a successful one! The rookies reported August 16Th, 20 rookies showed up and were greeted by the coaching staff with a 15 min orientation and a 1 and half hour of conditioning, the camp was held at Pinkston High School from 4pm-6pm the Xpress have since moved the camp to their home field located at 8421 Bohannon St in Dallas 75217, in moving the camp to our practice field the team gets it's privacy and a chance to let our fans gets familiar with where we play our home games. The coaching staff is very impressed with several rookies and feel once these rookies are signed they will be pushing the starters from last years 8-2 team for a starting spot on the 2010 roster. The rookie camp brought out 2 offensive lineman 2 defensive lineman, 3 running backs, 2 quarterbacks, 4 defensive backs, 2 linebackers and a few special team players. With the veterans not due in camp until September 13Th this rookie camp gives the rookies a chance to show case their talent before the veterans show up.
