Outlook: The Rockets won six times last season, but they have a lot of key players to replace in order to hit .500 again in 2008. Luis Luna played some at RB last season and will be asked to expand his role this year. Miguel Edwards is back at WR, and he is a top threat in the passing game. At QB, Patrick Meisenbach will learn on the fly. The defense is led by Juan Chaparro at Tackle and LBs Eliseo Dominguez and Julian Gordon. A lot of questions must be answered to have great success.
