Ellis improving aggressiveness
Sure he’s 10 pounds leaner and he’s added lean muscle and is stronger than he was as a rookie, but the biggest difference in Chris Ellis is the aggressiveness with which he is now playing. Head coach Dick Jauron was pushing him to be more physical in his game and he came through in the [...]
