Istanbul Janissaries Season Preview

As befits their core teams, Istanbul’s strongest suit are their linebackers, but there is fantastic talent throughout the side. The Janissaries should be in contention all year, especially if Franco Harris can prove he belongs at this level.

OFFENSE

3WR1RB – I Formation

While the offensive line is quite good, the danger of the team is more in their ability to protect Ben Roethlisberger, giving him time to find the dangerous trio of Antonio BrownJohn Stallworth, and Hines Ward.

DEFENSE

4-3; 5-4; 2-4

There are stars at each level: Joe Greene up front; Ray LewisJames Harrison, and Greg Lloyd at linebacker; and Ed Reed and Jack Butler at safety. Throw in a very deep complementary squad, and you have potentially the best defense in the league.

COACHING TENDENCIES

Slight Passing; increased long passing game.
