Rush Weekly Press Conference - Week 1
Owner/ General Manager Brett Richardson and Head Coach, Mike Martz addressed the media prior to this weeks opening of the Boeing Center and the Rush First Game:
Richardson on a new season: Were looking forward to kicking things off. I think we have an exciting team in a new town and facility; were very happy!
Announcing First Week Promotions: First 1000 fans at the game will get a voucher to have 10 mins with a flight specialist in one of the F-15 Strike Eagle simulators; that will be located throughout the season in the lower concourse. All fans will receive a magnent schedule.
Martz on team prep for Central Iowa: "Well, it looks like they are pretty balanced overall; nothing really sticks out that wows you. I think we need to one, not take anyone lightly; two, execute our gameplan; three, play solid defense."
On starting QB: "Still haven't made a decision; likely that both will play. I want to keep people guessing. I'm leaning one way and we will see where it goes."
On the final roster: "Well, we still have a claim out that we are waiting on to see if we get then we will make a decision. I don't really get it honestly, you either put a claim in on a guy and get him or you don't; not sure what all the fuss is about. I thought FA was first come first serve; somehow waiver wire has become a bidding war. I will let Brett handle that, I just coach em."
On preseaon overall: "We outgained both of our opponents. We did something I'm not sure this franchise has ever done, (against New Hampshire), out rush an opponent. We must have ran the ball too many times; we'll fix that."
The Rush play Central Iowa at the Boeing Center at 7:05 p.m. on Sunday
