He has 15 starters returning, including RBs Christian Noya and Jose Hernandez. They will run behind veteran blocking back Felipe Calvillo and linemen Josue Lopez and Diego Mollono. Newcomer Miguel Bustos steps in at QB with veteran Luis Gallardo a top target. Positive steps are likely, but key defensive playmakers must emerge, and the offense has to do better.
