FUSE TV - 'LFL' Game 9 Preview: Revitalized Heart Look to Turn Season Around vs. Bliss

The Omaha Heart and the Chicago Bliss are having two completely opposite seasons so far this year. This Saturday, Chicago plans to head into Omaha, take care of business and get to a 4-0 record. Meanwhile, the Omaha Heart, that will hardly resemble the team that took the field in weeks 2-4, look to put their first points on the board this season. It was a nearly tragic, three-game run for the rookie-filled Omaha Heart in their first half of the season, as they gave up a record 190 points and failed to reach the end-zone. There is no doubt that Chicago and Atlanta circled their remaining contests against Omaha as a win.

Once Omaha took their third loss this season, on May 2nd in Atlanta, it was time for head-coach Dontae Allen and the Omaha Heart to figure out how they would regroup during their six week break and give their loyal fans something to cheer for. It took a league and team effort to bring in the necessary talented and experienced players that would give the Heart a new look and revitalize the young team. Omaha was able to acquire quarterback Anonka Dixon (Miami previously), wide-receiver and corner-back Heather Hudson (Baltimore previously), and defensive-end Leekplay Paye (Minnesota previously). Anonka Dixon during her short career with the Miamai Caliente, became one of the most electric and exciting players to watch in the history of the Legends Football League.

Omaha was missing leadership on both sides of the ball and it appears that they will have that commanding presence with the new acquisitions and returning players from seasons past. Their new starting seven offensively and defensively, are probably the best set of talent Omaha has suited up during franchise history. After the announcement of Omaha’s acquisitions, the Chicago Bliss quickly realized that their two remaining games against Omaha would no longer be a cakewalk. With the unknown on how Omaha’s new players are going to gel together, Saturday’s game is highly anticipated.
