A nothing gets your attention quicker than a loss a Gilbert said. Frankfurt goes into the Barcelona game tied with the dragons for the european division Lead at 2-1 this weekend. Barcelona is on a two game winning Streak after dropping a 17-0 decision to the Galaxy in the opening week and beating London 13-7. A the big play was non existent for us last week a he said. A we have to have someone who la stand up and say a in a going to make the big play this  a the Birmingham loss was bitter for Beers to Swallow but his big players a As in really big players a have kept quarterback Mike Perez Safe in three games Perez has tasted turf Only two times this season. This with an offensive line that lost veterans Billy Poe and Eric still in the first week and relies on a relatively inexperienced Hometown kid to fill the void. Operation discovery product Gerald Olszewski of Disseldorf Germany has stepped in and proven his Worth to the team Beers said. A each game we be had a different five Guys Start he said. A Pweo re still trying to find that combination. Our pass Protection has been excellent but we need to get off the Ball quicker open things up and let Tony Baker run with the Ball. A one thing Gerald gives us is that he a a very Good backup at Center and at guard. He a a steady performer excellent pass Blocker. That a his strength. We re not afraid to use Gerald. He a a very Good player who is capable of playing at this level. He would have made this team in training Camp on his own merits not just because he san operation discovery player. A if Gerald did no to come through for me i done to know what id have done a Beers said. A i have probably jumped from the fourth Story of the hotel. Or have coach Jack Elway pushing me one or the  Beers added that despite the loss last week he Hopes Perez a accomplishments Arentt buried.

A the is a Tough and aggressive player who is difficult to handle for us a he said the Frankfurt secondary has been suspect but to listen to Gilbert there a no problem. A one of our big losses in training Camp was Cedric Stallworth which was a dual loss because of his ability As a straight cover Man and he a a very Good team  what does concern Gilbert about the dragons is not quarterbacks Scott Emey or Tony Rice. Its dragons receiver Demetrius Davis. A a he la be an added dimension to their team Well have to defend against because he missed our first game. Scott is very Good when he has time to throw so its a must that we get pressure on him. Rice is vei7 hard to contain Ana keep pressure on because of his running  a Tony Rice brings a Little different aspect to their team a said defensive Back Tim Broady. A with him in there we have to contain him a Little harder come at them with a different game of  Bicknell who has never beaten Frankfurt Calls saturdays game a one crucial.
