"It's time for Tommy to step up," Orlando City coach Adrian Heath said. "We've been through it and we've spoke to him, that he's not a young boy anymore, he's got experience at this level. If he wasn't capable of it, we wouldn't expect it, but we do. … He's got to be pushing these [other defenders] every step of the way. I think he can be a starter in the MLS, but a lot of that will be determined by his attitude Monday to Friday and the way he approaches training."
