“There is a lot more knowledge on the defensive line going into the game,” Jefferson said. Jefferson feels that Hughes has already made contributions to the defensive line in ways besides communication. “Then when I look down the line of scrimmage, I just have to nod my head and he knows what I’m saying.” “You have to look to improve and get on the same page with each other,” Hughes said. It’s also something that they work on every day in practice. Hughes and Jefferson have been working on their chemistry since training camp began May 20 in Saskatoon. When they are looking for me, they forget about Willie because he’s so slender.” “Where other teams might see him, they might not see me. “We complement each other in ways that other teams can’t do,” Hughes said. Jefferson, 27, is 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds. Hughes and Jefferson bring different attributes to the table, including their dimensions. “We want to get a couple of sacks for the rest of the defensive line and make it hard for whoever the quarterback is.” “We’re looking to add to Charleston’s total of sacks and put a couple on my list,” Jefferson said in advance of Thursday’s game against the host Ottawa Redblacks.
