I love 'em too
Can’t wait for Follett to drive his helmet through that yellow target on their chests.
Me too
Really, just downright dreadful… closing in on the same level of awful as the Broncos and their striped socks.
and it looked like their helmet was some shade of mud brown. hideous...

Thanks for the updates, Sean!
I’m excited about the addition of Corey Williams. Jonathan Wade looks like a guy who could help us too, even if he doesn’t start……super fast cover guy, great fit.
Quote from Mayhew about Corey Williams:
"Corey is going to be a great addition to our defense; he’s a very solid run-defender," said General Manager Martin Mayhew. "Also, what I like about him most is his ability to rush – he’s a really good pass rusher.
"That was an area where I thought we really struggled last year and Corey is going to help us there. I think he’s going to be a big part of our defense this year."
