My O Line suffered badly in ageing and I had to go out and trade for a starting Centre but thankfully managed to get one, then went looking for various back up players and traded out a receiver.

Pre season game was tight affair where I rest a lot of players to gain experience for new players, especially rookies.

The Rays were predicted to really push on this season, after an amazing draft, some decent trading and the fact that they had an active coach for really the first time in their history.
