NSIAP, but here is Bobby's preview of the 2017-18 team. I was really excited to hear that he is looking to focus on the main areas where the team struggled last year. On Defense it was limiting big plays and getting pressure with 4 guys, on offense it was ball security. The only thing he didn't touch on
was offensive line woes and penalties. We were the 9th most penalized team last year. Out of 120+. That has to change. Other than that, great press conference.

I think if we improve on ball security and penalty numbers our offense is going to be top 5. Defense is what I'm worried about most. Conservative play calling coach and replacing a lot of guys who were multiple year starters. We are probably going to be even worse at getting to the QB this year. Although grantham's defense had issues too. I'm just hoping for close the the same production.

That is was makes the OL the biggest issue. With a good OL we could outscore most teams. Those that we could not we could get a lead which would make teams one dimensional which makes playing D a LOT easier.

The biggest problem I saw with the O'line was their inability to read a defense.

They could not locate their man and the next thing you know a defender is running Lamar or whoever down behind the line.

We get that corrected and a lot of the turnovers will go away.

That and also footwork issues led to them not getting in the proper position when someone would come on a blitz. Footwork was not that groups strong suit.
