It’s time to Derby in Milan, after last year’s thrilling semi-final the Rhinos and Seamen will meet in week 4 in Divisione 1.
Both arrive unbeaten with Rhinos (2-0) who are still looking for their offense to hit it’s stride. In last week’s victory against Parma, the Rhino defense and special teams led the way allowing the team to conquer the Panthers. ,This week head coach Chris Ault expects better performances by quarterback TJ Pryor, who is the Rhinos all-time passing leader, and his receivers corps.
Their opponents, the cross-town Milano Seamen (3-0), enter with wind in their sails. The Seamen breezed through the first three weeks of the seasons, sending strong messages scoring a combined 131 points against the Roma Grizzlies, Bergamo Lions and Ancona Dolphins. The Seamen offense boasts a duo of dangerous recievers, Italian national team WR Stefano Di Tunisi and the U.S. import Reece Horn. Italian-American quarterback Luke Zahradka has connected well with the duo, but also has a strong backfield trio of Binda-Bonparte-Raphael to hand the ball of to.
On defense, the Seamen’s newcomer Paul Morant has had an immediate impact, evidenced by a pick six last week against the Dolphins.
