Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4n Jaguaareja vastaan, on joukkue monella tapaa uudistunut viime kaudesta. ECG on uudistunut niin pelaaja, valmennus kuin my\u00f6s organisaation tasolla. Jokaisella osa-alueella J\u00e4ttil\u00e4iset ovat pyrkineet luomaan iskukykyisen ja vahvan ryhm\u00e4n I-divisioonaan.<\/p>\n<p>ECG:n pelaajistoon saapuneista nimekk\u00e4impi\u00e4 ovat varmaankin pelinrakentaja Jabari Harris, takamies Xavier \u00c1ndre, tukimies Joonas Luokkakallio, linjamies Stewart Keenan sek\u00e4 laitahy\u00f6kk\u00e4\u00e4j\u00e4 Toni \u00d6hman.

Useita vuosia upeaa ty\u00f6t\u00e4 ECG:n per\u00e4simess\u00e4 tehnyt Samuel Orvomaa on siirtynyt joukkueesta t\u00e4ll\u00e4 er\u00e4\u00e4 sivuun.

Samat tutut musta ja keltainen ovat luonnollisesti joukkueen v\u00e4rit, mutta pitk\u00e4st\u00e4 aikaa joukkue l\u00e4htee kauteen keltaisilla pelihousuilla.

How do you think this team has changed and progressed during this off season?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8221;This year we have a different attitude here at ECG. We have added many new experienced players on both sides of the ball that will help us<br \/>\ntremendously. We have installed new offensive and defensive systems that<br \/>\nwill allow our players to not play out of position, but too their<br \/>\nstrengths. I&#8217;m impressed with how far we have come this offseason. I&#8217;m<br \/>\nready to put my Giants up against any team knowing we will fight. There is<br \/>\nstill much time to prepare, but I&#8217;m very excited about this team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you expect from the new but experienced players for this team such as Keenan, Luokkakallio and \u00c1ndre?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8221;I expect them to bring the leadership that the team has been lacking in the<br \/>\npast. Each of these guys have been stand out players just last year in the<br \/>\nMaple League. They play with heart and they are vocal leaders. This is<br \/>\nexactly why they are here, to create a new standard of leadership for this<br \/>\nteam.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the teams situationnow as there is less than two months until first kick off? Where will you focus on for the remaining time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8221;The team has progressed tremendously. We are getting more key players to<br \/>\ncome back from other countries, injury, and some military duty. We have<br \/>\nbeen putting a lot of focus on special teams. That is an area of football<br \/>\nthat is greatly overlooked here in Finland. Last season, many games for the<br \/>\nGiants were lost on special teams. The team was one win away from being in<br \/>\nthe finals last year. It came down to a punt return by the Bouncers in a<br \/>\nclose game late in the season. A win in that game, the Giants are in the<br \/>\nsemifinals, with 2 wins over the bouncers! The Bouncers went on to win the<br \/>\nIron Bowl. Thats how important special teams are. We will continue to focus<br \/>\non being solid on special teams, along with shaping our offense and defense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tule kes\u00e4n alkaessa katsomaan kun ECG iskee j\u00e4lleen I-divisioonassa!!
