In a shootout against the Outlaws, the Brass outscored them 43-41. Shane Swanson had one of the best games in Brass history running for 70 yards and a touchdown to complement QB Rusty Hilger&#8217;s 5 touchdowns. The Brass look to build on this momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Player Spotlight<\/strong>: Gregg Carr, OLB. Carr came to the Brass from Las Vegas during the offseason. He&#8217;s paid immediate dividends on the defense. He leads the league with 33 tackles. He also added 1 stuff, 1 forced fumble, and 2 passes defended. If they find some other playmakers to put around him, look out for this defense going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upcoming Games:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">March 2<\/span>: at Memphis Showboats. The Brass look to follow up on their first win of the season with their first road win. With Memphis struggling, the Brass can potentially improve to 2-2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">March 9<\/span>: Michigan Panthers. The Panthers look tough this season with Jim Harbaugh revitalizing the team. But, they&#8217;re coming to our house and we need to defend our house.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">March 16<\/span>: at Jacksonville Bulls. An important division game that could go a long way to determining standings and, dare we say it, playoff seeding. Maybe too early for that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">March 23<\/span>: at Los Angeles Express. Another game against a current division leader and potential playoff team. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">March 30<\/span>: at Pittsburgh Maulers. The Maulers lost Brian Sipe and lost their soul. A good way to end out the road trip with a win and come back to a rocking Superdome!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Our thoughts<\/span>: Only Michigan and Los Angeles look like tough games. With this recent success, the Brass could win 3 out of 5 and come back home with a decent record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fan Corner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come by before the game to listen to Featured Fan Reggie Monta\u00f1ez play his trumpet with his quartet. He will be in the home end zone, as well, leading various chants and cheers. Get your picture taken with a Brass legend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fan bus trip to the March 16 game at Jacksonville is filling up fast.
