The San Jose SaberCats are not a cold weather team. We do not play our games in the snow, or sleet. On a bad day it may get down into the 40s. Personally I despise this. It should be cold. It should be snowing. But I cannot control the weather. Instead the state burns to the ground. The beautiful, cold, north beckons, while we choke on ash and soot. I grew up in Michigan, I played college ball in Michigan. This pansy bay area winter is a sham!
And while we may not have the luxury of a true winter, we are still a winter football team. We win games through strong defense and running the ball. Wright is still finding his footing as a QB, and while we started the season slow, these last few weeks have shown what this team is capable of. First round draft pick Toriki is showing her skills, as she develops into a true workhorse back, with over 25 rushing attempts in our past two games.
Our defense is stepping up too, with us only giving more than 20 points once in the last 4 games. With the rushing attack taking pressure of Wright, and providing better field position, the defense is able to stay fresh and strong throughout the game. As the weather cools, our defense and ground attack steps up.
As long as we limit mistakes, and control the game pace, we have the ability to stick with any team.
