The meat of this article is right, this team needs someone that can SCA all over the place. Also, I'd like Lesesne to figure out a new defensive plan. He's proven that this isn't the case across every team he's coached at this level.

This team does have a lot of room to grow and it may be good to look at the contracts that came out recently to see where we might cut the season long trialists either via trade or not pickup up options.

Also, Schnegg and Enow have looked like big misses. Schnegg has 2 things above average (crossing and his engine). Otherwise, he does a lot of basics below pro level. Enow has yet to convince me beyond game 1 that he is anything other than a raw talent who needs a way more structured defensive coach.

In a few weeks I'll probably do an article going through the roster and rating the acquisitions, but for now I think Schnegg is all right. At fullback/wingback he has to go against some of the most expensive and talented players in MLS. Of course, DC paid top dollar for him, so "all right" is still a miss. He's had a few moments of brilliance dribbling where he really does look significantly better than average, but they're fairly few and far between.

Enow on the other hand hasn't shown any flashes, really. I guess that goal he scored in game one, but even that came after he turned the ball over with a poor pass!
