In the passing game, a starting QB must be found, but whoever gets the nod will look the direction of WRs Jesus Lopez, Matthew Gutierrez and Tight End Jamie Gonzalez. The offense line has a couple of key players back, but more help is certainly needed. On defense, Corner Gilbert Martinez will lead an inexperienced group that needs a playmaker or two to step up.
