This year Crabb should be back and that could go a long way to improving last season's 3-7 record. In the backfield Crabb will be joined by RB Melvin Rodriguez. At WR Sean Hemperley and Jimmy Mariano are top targets. The defense had key members of the secondary Philip Wildman and Dalton Harris returning. At LB Daniel Hall is back. Upfront on defense Colin Price and Blake Hendershot lead the way. It likely will take time but Howe has potential.
