For the London Royals, being an expansion team, there weren't as high expectations as the more established teams. The main focus for the team was to field a competitive team. Despite their record, currently at 4-8, the Royals were competitive in nearly every game. In six of their eight losses, the Royals lost by two scores or less. Adjustments to defensive schemes and moving positional players proved to be effective as the team was much more efficient on defense The Royals also touted the #2 total offense and #1 rushing offense in their conference. Although there were positives to the season, there's a lot of room for improvement. The two areas for most improvement would be turnovers and special teams. The Royals struggled mightily on special teams and were never able to correct the problems. On the offensive side, the Royals need to add more weapons in the receiving corp. The Royals had only one receiver with over 300 yards receiving and a league low of 5 total receiving touchdowns. Adding some receivers would help balance the offense and keep opposing defenses honest. The Royals should have a good foundation for the coming seasons addressing these issues may turn the Royals into Ultimini contenders next season.
