Our defense has to be good to compete in the West Suburban Silver. We have the best four defensive linemen in the Silver.

I don't have to repeat anything this year. I tell him what to run and there's no questions about whether it will work or not. He's a senior now and much more confident, a leader.

We need to get those two games and build some confidence.
eight establish guys line running seven
I think we will be able to establish the running game. If you can't, defenses put seven or eight guys on the line and really come after you.
