Xpress Re-Sign Livingston

The Xpress re-sign 2 year starter Carnell Livingston to a new 2 year deal. The Xpress released Mr. Livingston earlier in the week, a moved that turned out to be a mistake on the Xpress part, When talking to coach Vernon it turns out that a communication problem occurred which prompt the Xpress to release Mr. Livingston, when the Xpress finally talked to Mr. Livingston he informed the team of a scheduling conflict for his reasoning not making practice, in the end the confusion was corrected and Mr. Livingston was back on the active roster. Coach Vernon is very happy Mr. Livingston did not sign with another club, I am glad he is back with us! and him being moved to safety gives us veteran leadership in the secondary. With the new veteran signings we have made this year in the secondary, him re-signing just gave us a major upgrade and added speed to an already fast group.

Xpress Release Livingston

The Xpress release Veteran Conerback Carnell Livingston 10/20/09. The DfwXpress spoke to Mr.Livingston in early October an informed him that if he did not report to camp with the rest of the veterans on October 21st that the organization would go in another direction. When Mr. Livingston was a no show the Xpress got the message he was trying to send. The Xpress management spoke with Mr. Livingston at the end of the 2009 season to inform him he would be moved to Free Safety for the 2010 season, the move was being made to pro long his career, Mr. Livingston was not fond of the idea. Mr. Livingston was a starter for the Xpress in the 2008 and 2009 season at cornerback and made several big plays including a 65 yard fumble return in the 2009 season against the Lone Star Pitbulls. In the off season the Xpress signed several free agents in the secondary just in case Mr. Livingston did not report. With several veteran and rookie signings in the secondary the battles in camp have been very intense. The Xpress would like to wish him the best the rest of the way.

What Is A Strong Franchise

A strong franchise is only as strong as its weakest player! The 2010 DFW Xpress this year does not have any weak players. Last years team had several questionable players, as far as talent goes. The 2009 team had roughly 10 players that were playing football because they wanted to look good in a uniform, well those players are gone, rather it be they quit are were released, bottom line they are gone! the 2010 team is made up with more speed, more aggressive players, and best of all players that want to be coached and want to listen and learn. A strong franchise has 100% participation from its players in Fund Raising and giving back to the Community, the 2010 team has that! A strong franchise gets at least 85% of its players to practice night in and night out! the 2010 team has this! The only thing left for the 2010 team to do is win the championship and we will do this! The 2010 team is better faster and stronger then the 2009 team, we have gotten deeper, faster and stronger at running back, defensive back, and Wide receiver. Throw in the fact that 80% of the starting offensive line is back and 95% of the defensive line is back! then you tell me why this team is not built for greatness? The Offense has resigned 2009 back up QB Kevin Nelson and he looks to be the starter for 2010 he knows the offense very well, he guided the 2003 Dallas Titans to the division play-offs. 2009 Xpress outstanding Offensive Player Chris Choice, returning X Factor award winner Rashard Manning, 2009 Xpress most improved player of the year Will Smith the you add rookie Running back David Duran, Johnathan Evans and team them up with explosive running back Rocky Frank and the Xpress just might have the best 3 back tandem in the NMLF. On the defensive side of the ball, You have team and league MVP Jeremy Rutherford, 2009 team Defensive Rookie of the year Chris Hicks, 2009 All star defensive tackles Derrick Blount, and Robert Teal, All star MLB Sam Crawford, mix in rookie sensation Wesner Derosier and Strong Safety and 2009 interception team leader Demarcus Nixon and you have a team that has a chance to eclipse 2009 8-2 season record.
