What does your offense need to improve on from last year? 
First and foremost, we need to replace a 3 year starter at Quarterback. We have a 3 guys that we think will be able to battle for that position during the Preseason. We are strong stable of running backs that compliment each other very well. We are returning 4/5 of our starting offense of line from last year. I expect us to have a lot of continuity starting the season. We think that we are going to be able to pick up where we left off last season.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year *
This is our second in our 4-3 scheme. The kids really did a nice job executing during our 4 game winning streak. I expect us to be able to play faster this year because their will be familiarity with the scheme and the terminology. We are returning a large number of players that saw time in the front 7 of our defense. This will allow us to bring a variety of pressures. We need to replace 2 key players in the back end of our defense. We are excited about the guys we have fighting for those spots.
