- With Sean McEvilly retired and Greg Kuhar and Tyler Lancaster coming off of injuries, you might think Fitz would be worried about the defensive tackle position. To the contrary, he is confident about the group. “We’ve got plenty of answers up there.” They haven’t had McEvilly for two years, so they have contingency plans, including teaching different guys different positions. “I feel great about that (defensive line) group…I want this group’s attitude to take over the team.”
- Traveon Henry thinks the secondary can be “the best in the nation.” Matthew Harris says “the sky is the limit” for that group. Both talked about the great chemistry and trust all the DBs have in each other. Henry has slimmed down to about 210 pounds from a high of 225 in an effort to improve his coverage skills. He said he feels much faster.
- Geoff Mogus still feels good about the chemistry of the OL, despite losing Matt Frazier (staph infection) and the uncertainty of positions. Even though they are playing different positions, they are still the same guys. Right now, the first OL from left to right is Mogus, Shane Mertz, Brad North, Ian Park and Eric Olson. Adding depth at tackle are Tommy Doles on the left and Blake Hance on the right.
- Fitz feels great about his team’s chemistry and praised his players’ effort during the offseason. They set more than 300 personal records in the weight room. As a team, he said the Cats gained 410 pounds and lost 369 pounds of fat. “And that’s just in the coaching staff,” he quipped.
