In the second year of coach Danny Lauve's system, the adjustment period should be over and returning talent is in the fold. "Athlete" Justin Lee is a player to watch; he must be contained. Tight End Stevie Haywood is another offensive option. The offensive line is in pretty good shape too. On defense, four starters are back, and that unit must tighten up to lift the burden on offense. Things are on the upswing.
