philadelphia shut down

heading into this weeks game against high flying jacksonville bulls,we knew we had tough match up but morale was high after great victory last week and several big players returning from injury what followed was not pretty.the bell offence was systematically shut down and held under 200 yards total offence.with our offence being completely overwhelmed we needed the defence to perform a miracle but sadly here in usfl miracles have to be earned :) and the potent serio connected on a deep heave to win the game.its not all doom and gloom though we seem to be finding our identity defensively and as long as teams know they are in for a tough game whilst sorting cap mess thats all we can ask for.

this week we will look at full backs for the bell.surpringly we had 4 guys tied up long term and to be frank all are pretty underwhelming the veteran of the group is dahlquist with 12 years exp and rated 71 as expected for his age,his physical skills are regressing and ideal scenario would be him retiring as we dont wanna have to cut him as cap management is top of our agenda next couple of years.sneider is another guy the wrong side of 30 and we really cant see what the previous regime liked about him,another guy we want off our books as soon as possible but still contracted next couple of seasons.perez is next guy up and again pretty poor physiocals and main skills,another 2 year contract so unless miracle happens he will be back next season.finally we have 4th round rookie wright signed up on decent salary through 4 years so hes become long term starter by default.average phyicals and attributes by slewing down progression wise so hes only gonna become less valuable.overall this room needs serious work but ontract lengths mean we might have same group together next season
