 Fans, Ask a Question!

Here at Hillcrest Road, we are always trying to find new ways to keep you connected to the boys in blue. With that in mind, we are proud to introduce a new video feature that we hope will give you even more insight into the lives and personalities of our players. Each week, Hillcrest Road will pick two members of the organization and give our readers the chance to ask them just about anything. Want to know what players do in their off time? Who is the team Halo 3 champion? Most self-absorbed? Have a question about tactics or life in Major League Soccer? All you have to do is ask. Hillcrest Road will track down the answers.

This week's featured players will be Jimmy Conrad and Jack Jewsbury. Please post your questions in the comments section. We hope we can get to all of them, but depending on your response we may have to choose the best and brightest. Remember to keep them semi-appropriate, but don't be afraid to ask if it is something you really want to know!

  12. I'll throw out a few:

    In your opinion, who is the most under-rated player on the team?

    Have you seen the new stadium designs? Thoughts (which you are able to share with us, of course)?

    Did the players have any input on the stadium design? If so, what did you say? If not, what would you have said?

    How well do you think OnGoal is doing? (I'm sure they would want you to be brutally honest)

    What would you like to see changed as far as MLS goes?

    Aside from yourself, who is the best player for your position in the world? League?

    What's your favorite chant/song the Cauldron does? Any suggestions for new chants/songs?

  13. What strengths and weaknesses do you see in our current squad?

    What improvements need to be made to get the team on a winning streak?

  15. 1. What do you see as the missing pieces for this squad to become a playoff contender?

    2. Do you miss Nick Garcia in the backfield?

    3. From an observer's perspective it seems the midfield/forward chemistry is lacking. There seems to be little in the way of creative overlapping and multiple diagonal runs to creat space and opportunities. Very honestly- why is this?
