The Wasatch REVolution football organization is taking the final step to prepare for the season opener vs. last season’s defending RMFL regular season champion – the Utah Shock.
The final practice for the REV takes place on Thursday, April 9 at 6 p.m. at Marv Jenson fields on 10300 S. and Redwood Road. (1700 W.)
Defensive Co-ordinator Ev Matagi has a major challenge in front of him with one of the RMFL’s highest powered offenses. Offensive Coordinator and Head Coach Eric Drage has a gargantuan challenge in front of him with securing the right personnel in game situations.
Look for the REV to come out fired up in this game as they prepare for – what could turn out to be – the biggest game of the season in Week 1.
Also, look for a 2-deep depth chart to come out on Friday – after Thursday nights practice.
Shock @ Revolution
Chances of the Revolution’s full roster being present for their home opener? 0%. Chances of the Revolution to build serious camaraderie this season? 0% Chances of Golden getting on the chat room next week and throwing out excuses as to why “so and so” weren’t at the game? 100%. The Revolution easily boast the best collection (on paper) of talent the RMFL has ever witnessed. If the roster is true, most Junior Colleges wouldn’t want to play them. Chuckypita has one year of RMFL experience under his belt and knows what is needed to win a championship. I expect great things from this defense as Coach Everest has single handedly almost put together his full defense from year’s past. Add Ragin and Shoda to his repertoire and this group of players (defense) should be banned in 48 states. The biggest question for the Revolution (besides the validity of their roster) is how will the offense come together. Whalen was dominant at BYU but never scared teams in the RMFL/MLFA. Toby Christensen was another solid BYU receiver (slow white guy with great hands) but has been out of commission for almost 10 years. I have serious doubts about their offensive line and the team’s unity overall. The Shock on the other hand have all the unity a team could ever want. With the return of Mr. Everything their receiving core may be the best in the league. Just what J.Kjar needed, more weapons to throw too. They showed us last week that they have the running game to go along with a fearsome passing attack but with an injury to the Diesel (J. Christensen), they may be forced to return to their passing attack. With rain and wind in the forecast, this could prove troublesome against a defense as fast and aggressive as the Revolution’s. This game will be closer than it would be had they both played in mid-May but the Revolution get the edge with their supposed-talent alone. Revolution 24 Shock 20
