    truelife 6-0 is our goal

    he has been extremely helpfull to our defense anda force to be reckoned with. i am glad he is on our team and not anyone else's. However i have seen instances where i would like him to have a little more control. i see plays where he just goes air born flying over defenders only to just miss the ball carrier. Now don't get me wrong i love his recklessness and the way he plays but on some occasions he needs to just take on the blockers and let others get the tackle
