Team Overview

Norfolk is setup to have a fantastic rebound season! When you look at the strengths of this team, it starts with the eight capped players. Five of those are one offense, which should provide enough firepower to keep them out of reach. It all starts at QB, with Savage returning as the highest TPE earner on the team. This will give the offense the leadership it needs. Next, a great duo at RB with Holford and Crouse should help keep the offense balanced enough to keep opponents on their toes. What I feel to be Norfolk's greatest strength is the receiving corps. With two capped players, a third on the way, and a new draftee that has been extremely active, this is the heart of the offense. Protecting all of this is led by the top offensive linemen in the league, Clifford Wilson. With two other user linemen, there should be plenty of holes to run through. The only weakness I see on offense is the TE position. However, I think there are enough weapons to make up for this. On defense, Norfolk also has a strong setup. There are three capped players close to or over 300. Anchoring the defense is the best defensive player in the league, Linebacker Sconnie McHits. Other notable strengths include Hououin Kyouma at Cornerback and Spike Daniels at Safety. While there might not be the same depth on defense, there is plenty of star power and promising rookies.
