2015 Outlook:
Offense: We will have some athletic players in the backfield with Sy (Rb), Isaiah (QB) and Troy (WR) and return all league TE in Liam Trainer, but we need to replace our OL and that will take some time and we need to find a second go to receiver.
Defense: We return 6 starters and we have a number of players ready to step in. I think we should be ok here if we can find another defensive lineman and a corner to replace Nick Renella.
Special Team: We return our long snapper in Cole Learch, but will have a new punter, place kicker and KO guy this year.
