CFFL Q & A WITH THE COACHES - 02/05/2008

This week, our subject is Antwon Nickles of Da Agency...

Q. How long has your squad been together?
A. Last season was our first season playing together.

Q. Did most of your squad play HS ball?
A. Yeah. Most of our guys were on football teams in high school. We have a few D-1 recruits. We have a few semi-pro playes, and some natrual athletes out there.

Q. Last session your team missed the playoffs. What did you learn as a team to make a playoff run this session?
A. We just really studied the game more. We've learned that it's not always the fastest, strongest, or toughest team that wins the game. In the league it's strategy and discipline.

Q. Your team got off to a good start in week one. What will it take to sustain your early success?
A. Give our all in every game. Utilize our talents. And keep the momentum going.

Q. Your team is 14-15 players deep. With all that talent, how do you manage all those egos?
A. We try our best to play as a unit. As many egos as we have, they rarely clash amongst each other. It just feeds our will to beat the opponents. Our egos clash with theirs.

Q. Come week eight where will Da Agency be at in the standings?
A. We hope to be number 1. But a top 3 finish would not be disappointing. Seeing as how we're still fresh to this.

Q. What is the key to the Da Agency's success this season?
A. Defense. And our offense closing out drives.
