Tony Nguyen took some snaps at QB last year and now will take over full time. Eric Rojas should be a top receiver. Who will start at RB is a question, but veteran Alex Buckley will be the blocking back. In the trenches Marcus Feree, Jairo Perez, Julio Ramon, Mike Nguyen, Nick Bigelow and Ty Gomez are well equipped to get the job done on both sides of the ball. Buckley doubles as a talented LB who will lead the defense. The Sharks have some talent but repeating a ten win season is a very difficult task.
