What are your honest, realistic expectations of this team.

[Jon Gonzo]

I simply desire a team that competes hard on any given night, and is hard to play against. Last year was disguisting. I want a winning program established, and that has begun. I actually expect more from ownership and the brass. This team needs a professional environment, and a pro practice facility to compete as a professional football team ought to.

This, as we have seen, adversely effects the team on the field and I think it ultimately cost two good football men their jobs.

Speaking of on the field; there are too many important positions left hanging for me to get too, too optimistic however. LT, MLB, and the health of our starting QB. I think the D-Line, and D-Backfield will surprise and I think that if Ricky has time, these receivers will too.

I believe Hamilton and Ottawa are better teams at this point. I'll call 8-10, and .500 if all falls into place with a shot at the Playoffs as the 3rd Team in the East.
