Former MOSO player Brandon Williams will now have a Super Bowl ring after the Chiefs won the title Sunday.

What are some of the things MSSU will need to figure out this spring to continue on their upward projection?

Offense: 1. QB!! How will the young kid that finished the season progress.
2. They have to find some playmakers at WR. From what i saw last year they struggled to catch the football and create separation.

Defense: 1. They have lost a lot of production especially from the LB group with the graduation of Jordan Jr and Booker, who will be the guys to replace them
2. They have to find some consistency in the Secondary

Special Teams: They will have to replace the entire specialist unit with graduation of Long Snapper (name?) and K/P Williams

They got the supah kicker out of nixa.

My two biggest concerns are the WR and LB corps. If we have better playmaker who can get open, that will help the young QB continue to progress. LB were the key to our dense the last two years. We lost not only a lot of talent and experience, but also a lot of leadership on that side of the ball. We'll have to see who can step up and fill those voids, with other members of the defense needing to take on some leadership roles.

Jordan Jr. leaves a huge hole to fill.
