Las Vegas, New Dome, New Place and New Coaches!
MIKE MARTZ TO COACH DRAGONS
KAREN KA-CHING REPORTING
With a new arena, a new franchise, new fans, why not have a new coach. That is the philosphy of GM and President of player personel Jay Zippo.
"Las Vegas is an exciting city, filled with lights, fun and action. Mike Martz is the definition of Vegas for the NFL, fast, furious, lively, colorful and one of the masterminds of offense" Zippo said touting his newly hired coach.
Mike martz was the offensive coordinator for the Lions for 2 years before coming to the Dragons. Martz was let go by the Rams after being with them for 8 years. He led them to the playoffs multiple times and to the Superbowl as well. Zippo is hoping Martz can find that magic again.
"I am very excited to get rolling here in Vegas. We have a boatload of talent on this team and I think we can do some real damage this year" Martz said, "Zippo brought me in to right the ship and right the ship I will!"
When asked about some players on the Dragons, Martz replied "Dunn is an interesting prospect. (The Dragons QB) He has a great arm, good accuracey, but has alot to learn. Ronnie Brown is amazing, so is Chambers, but if I am concerned with one thing, it would be the Offensive line. They turned it around in the latter part of 2007, helping the team win 5 of its last 7 games but we need consistancy."
Martz will have an even say in the personel. Between the scouting staff, Zippo and Martz they will do all of the personel work together.
C.Foerster comes on board with Martz as the Offensive Coordinator. They worked together in St.Louis back in the day. J.Barry was released by the Falcons and the Dragons snatched him up with his solid 4-3 style of defense. and the Special teams will be headed up by Sweatman.
The Offseason has begun and we will keep you updated as the off season progresses.
