The 1st post of the 2007 Season

Welcome to the Knights 2007 story.

Inspired by the HBO special "Hard Knocks" I decided as the head coach of the 2007 Red Squad I would keep an ongoing blog of the season, starting from camp and hopefully ending with a championship.

Camp officially starts on August 15th and the season runs to Thanksgiving. I will keep ongoing weekly update of the team progress, issues, depth charts, position battles and anything else happening with the team.

Last Names have been ommited to protect the innocent.

The coaching Staff consists of the following

Coach Jeff - 11 year head coach, Defensive coordinator. Creator of the Newport Gambler 46 (Inspired by Coach Callende)

Coach Ryan- 7 year assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and dubbed "Rain Man" by coach Jeff

Coach Jonathan.- Has son Adam on team, will be QB and Backfield Coach

Coach Gerald- Has son Peyton on team (Peyton wants to be QB) He is new to the staff. I am unsure what his strengths are.

Coach Jim. His son Jake is on the team. Jake was last years fullback. Jim will be assisting me with the defense.

I feel like I have a great staff put together. The team consists currently of 23 players. Last year this group went 7-1 and went to the playoffs, winning its 1st game but losing the conference Championship. I feel a little like Norv Turner, inheriting a team that seems to only have 1 step forward to take, but could take two steps back.
