The strength will be in the running game and on defense. Lack of experience at QB, WR and in the kicking game are concerns. "I think we will be a little stronger, but that does not mean we will win more games," said head coach Tim Finn. "Last year's team won a bunch of close games. We will be more talented this year, but that does not always translate into more wins."
