Outlook: The Rockets have thirteen starters returning for a squad that finished 2-8 last season. Coach Richard Cerda will rely on RB Gilroy Hewlett, while Daniel Contreras and Romount Beasley battle for the starting nod at QB. On defense, LB Michael Perez leads a group of five returners who will dare opponents to try and pass. Line play should be solid. Improvement is possible.
