Strengths: Team speed was a weakness I really wanted to improve at the end of last season. I feel our overall team speed has improved over the off-season and has developed into one of our strengths. Now the obvious hope is that it translates to the field.

Outlook: The key to us being successful is remaining healthy. We have several skill players returning from last season, this includes quarterback Dale Clayton. We once again will be relying on some young players to develop quickly and make contributions. Roster depth is still an issue but it is improving.
