The offensive line has key players back, including Nate Clements and Dra'lyn Thomas. On defense, Nowell Hall will lead the secondary; he will be joined by Marvin Green. The defensive front should be anchored by Charlie Brunner. There is room to improve on last year's 5-5 season, but playmakers on defense must emerge.
