Amateur to Professional Developmental Football League

AFTER SITTING DOWN & TALKING TO HEAD COACH TIM VESSEL OF THE LOUISIANA TIGERS SEMI-PRO FOOTBALL TEAM ABOUT THE UPCOMING SEASON INSIDE A VERY TALENTED #APDFL LEAGUE, HERES IS SOME OF THE COACH RESPONSES WAS AFTER QUESTIONING.

COACH TIM THIS IS YOUR TEAM 1ST TIME INSIDE THE #APDFL, WHAT DIFFERENCE WILL YOUR TEAM FACE IN TALENT & SKILLS MATCH UP VS COMING FROM YOUR LAST LEAGUE?

HC TIM: WELL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY EYE SIGHT WILL BE "SPEED" VISE VERSA COMING FROM THE "GSFL" TO THE "APDFL" TO ME IS SPEED, I THINK THE PLAYERS ARE MORE FASTER & PHYSICAL VS THE GSFL, NOT TAKING ANYTHING FROM THE GSFL LEAGUE, BUT IT'S MORE OF THE SPEED OF THE GAME & PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE THAT THESE PLAYERS AND TEAMS HAS TO OFFER ON THE GRIDIRON.

COACH TIM YOUR OFFENSIVE LINE HAS TO BE A PLUS FOR YOUR NEW ROOKIE QB, WHAT EXPECTATIONS CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE OUT OF YOUR OFFENSIVE LINEMEN & WHAT VETERAN(S) WILL BE A HAUL TO HELP OVERCOME YOUR OFFENSIVE UNIT BLUES?

HC TIM: PEOPLE & FANS CAN DEFINITELY EXPECT TO SEE ALL OFFENSIVE LINEMEN HOLDING BLOCKS MORE THAN IN THE PAST, WE HAVE WORKED HARD AT PRACTICES ON SUCH DETIALS AS PASS PROTECTION, RUN BLOCKING & SO ON. WE HAVE VETRAN LINEMEN RETURNING #72 REGGIE BROCK WHOM CAN BE A THREAT ALL ACROSS THE OFFENSIVE LINE, "HE'S JUST A NATURAL" BORN TALENTED OFFENSIVE LINEMEN WHO UNDERSTAND HIS JOB ON THE LINE, WE ALSO HAVE 2 DUAL THREATS TACKLES #100 BRANDON JOSEPH & #69 JEREMY CASTLE, WHOM BOTH ARE LIGHT ON THEIR FEET & REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF MICHEAL OHOR OF THE BLINDSIDE, BOTH TACKLERS CAN DEFEND A "DE" AS FAST AS HE CAN BLITZ & ALSO CAN MAINTAIN THE CONTROLMENT OF THE CONTAINMENT OF THE "DE", HONESTLY I PREACH TO MY OFFENSIVE LINE THAT THE ONLY PLAYER WHO CAN BEAT YOU IS "YOU".

COACH TIM AFTER VIEWING FILM FROM YOUR LAST YEAR SEASON YOU HAD A DUAL THREAT QB, BY THE NAME OF JOHN CHESTER, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN STYLE OF PLAY & YOUR NEW STARTING QB EARL BUTLER & JOHN CHESTER? 

HC TIM: WELL LOL JOHN CHESTER IS JUST A PURE BORN NATURAL ATHLETE, I MEAN HE'S A SCRAMBLER & A PASSER, QUITE FORTUNATELY JOHN CHESTER IS NOT WHAT WE WILL CALL A TRUE DUAL THREAT QB, HE"S NOT A POCKET PASSER, MORE ON THE STYLE OF A MICHEAL VICK HE WILL KILL YOU WITH HIS LEGS & MAKE A DEFENDER COMMIT TO THE RUN & BEFORE YOU KNO IT THE BALL IS PASSED 20-25 YDS DOWN THE FIELD BUT NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE MR. CHESTER.  BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO EARL BUTLER HE'S NEW TO MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL BUT "HE'S READY" NOT GONNA ABSOULTE SAY THIS WILL BE A PIECE OF CAKE FOR HIM OR EVEN A WALK IN THE PARK BUT HE WILL HAVE & BRING THE SAME STYLE OF PLAY TO THE GAME AS JOHN CHESTER DID A YEAR AGO. A LITTLE BIT OF A ADVANTAGE THAT HE HAS ON CHESTER IS HIS HEIGHT, I TRULY BELIVE THAT EARL BUTLER HAS A STYLE OF PLAY AS "CAM NEWTON" HE SITS WELL IN THE POCKET HE LOOKS FOR HIS OPEN RECIEVER & IF NOTHING IS THERE, EARL WITH HIS GREAT QB AWARENESS TAKES A STRIDE JUST AS CAM NEWTON DOES AND PICK UP WHAT HE CAN. I WILL STATE THIS THE TIGERS QB UNIT WILL BE 100% READY THIS SEASON.

COACH TIM YOUR BALL CLUB REACHED THE 2ND ROUND CONFRENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME LAST SEASON,  HOW FAR INTO THE #APDFL PAYOFFS DO YOU AS A HC THINK YOUR BALL CLUB WILL GO?

HC TIM: I WILL STATE THIS ON THIS ANSWER "THE SKY IS THE LIMIT" FOR THESE GUYS ITS HOW BAD THEY WANT IT, AT THE END OF THE DAY OUR COACHING STAFF HAVE A JOB AND THEY HAVE A JOB IF EVERYBODY DO A CLEAN JOB WE WILL BE LABELED AS "CHAMPIONS" IF SOMEONE CALLS IN FROM WORK & MAKE THE NEXT MAN DOUBLE WORK WELL WE WILL BE CONSIDERED AS THE TEAM WHO FANS WILL STATE HAD A PRETTY GOOD SEASON AGIAN.

COACH TIM THE LOUISIANA TIGERS HAD A SET OF GUYS WHOM CALLED THEIRSELVES THE "SMASH BROTHERS" COACH WHY & HOW DID THEY EARN THE RESPECT AS SUCH A NAME AS THE SMASH BROTHERS

HC TIM: WELL THE 2 GUYS WHOM YOU ARE REFERRING TO IS "HERBERT BELL" & "DE'ANDRE JACKSON" THESE GUYS EARNED THAT NAME BECAUSE THEY ABSOULETY LIVE TO IT 110% OF THE GAME THAT EXCATLY WHAT THEY DO LOL THEY REMINDS ME OF A LITTLE CHILD RUNNING WILD. WHEN IT COMES DOWN INTO COMPARRING THESE 2 IT"S HARD. I'VE BEEN ASKED IN THE PAST WITCH ONE IS THE BEST & MY RESPONSE IS USUALLY THE SAME ALWAYS "WITCH EVER ONE MAKES THE TACKLE OR PLAY" IS THE BEST IN MY BOOKS BUT PERSONALLY "MY WIFE" SAYS WHENEVER #22 & #23 IS ON THAT FIELD TOGETHER IT'S REALLY "SUPER MARIO BROS" TIME #SMASHISLAND

COACH ITS BEEN A PLEASURE TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU ON THE BEHALF OF MYSELF I HOPE YOU AND YOUR BALL CLUB A GREAT SEASON AND ROAD TO VICTORY
