Going into season 2 there is a lot more hope around our roster. We were still 0-4 in the preseason but the talent is starting to show up anyway. We once again have a couple rookies on the Green Page and QB DeAndre Henson leads the page.

QB: Henson 54/73, is a very good player, even if he struggles some with timing and hitting mid range passes. His numbers werent great last year due to carrying the team but he is a talented QB. Ethan Bernard 20/43, returns as a backup and Omar Thomas 10/29 will fill the 3rd string role.

RB: There has been an addition here but we will still see a committee approach. Byron Winslett 37/42, led the team last year and likely will again with his strong elusiveness and enough power to run inside when needed. Corey Rasberry is a stronger runner but less likely to make anyone miss. He will get a lot of the goal line work. The one drafted player, 6th round pick Patrick Rodgers, combines both power and elusiveness with decent pass catching skills but lacks any big play ability.

FB: Marcos Hoffman 34/42, will be the guy again here and other than some run blocking ability offers little.

TE: Another spot with some talent added Amos Perkins, 36/43 and Joe Becker 33/38 are joined by 7th round pick Gabe DeLamielleure. Gabe brings some route running savvy to the table where as perkins is the better blocker and Becker is well rounded but does not stand out anywhere.

WR: A position with some excitement here Rusty Cooper 38/52 will be bringing great route running and the best hands in the group after being picked in the 2nd round of the draft. He will join big play threats Danny Clements 47/56, and Bubba Wason 41/49. Myles Orenstein 35/38, another deep threat, will likely be relegated to return duties. Jacob Breeden, 33/40, and AJ Browning 17/40, offer some possession ability.

C: Frank Lehan 33/44 looks to hold off UDFA Cooper Vergara 16/48.

LG: 6th round pick Diego McKenzie 21/40, will get the first crack here and is a well rounded prospect. Kenny Weber 31/37 is a solid pass blocker if nothing else and is waiting by to fill in.

RG: 2nd year UDFA Dexter Mota 33/44, is better than nothing here and is a solid run blocker. Behind him Leslie Howard, 25/35 is a better pass protector.

LT: The strength of our line Gilbert Dodge 44/57, looks to anchor our line. Behind him is fill in Lorenzo Barnard 26/31.

RT: Nickolas Alexander 43, is a solid run blocker. He will, for the time being, hold of Gerald Delgade 26/42.

P: Dominic Howard 46, returns offering solid directional punting and hang time.

K: Morris Alcott, 37, returns despite a mediocre at best leg.

LDE: Rookie Dashawn Mallow 41/72, looks to own this spot stealing it from last year's 2nd round pick Tyrone Kelly 48/53, who will play a rotational role. Mallow just offers more pass rush ability.

RDE: Clarence Boone 42/51, will likely split work with Kelly here playing most of the passing downs while Kelly plays running downs. Luke McDaniel 31/32, looks like the one to lose the most snaps in this rotation.

NT: Raymond Conner 60/78, was the key to anything this defense did last year and that will continue. Charlie Cooley 27/44, will back him up.

SILB: Gene Correia 46, benefited from playing right behind Conner last year and will do so again. Expect him to rack up tackles. Daquan Burge 29/37, may get some playing time though likely at the other spot to start with Braden Burnett being hurt to start the season.

WILB: Braden Burnett 50, will be the guy here once he returns but for the time being Burge will likely play running downs and rookie 6th rounder Marty Perkins 21/33, will play in passing situations as he can rush and can cover.

SLB: 1st overall pick Justin Aleman 38/83, can do everything and will from this spot. He will be an every down player. Riddick Shillingford 20/35, can fill in defending the run.

WLB: Rookie Taylor Cates 51/61, is a natural pass rusher and will fit well here. We are eventually expecting a double digit sack player at this spot. Adrian Arteaga 32/44, is a solid player too and will get some pass rushing work.

CB: Tommy Criswell 53/64, is our CB1 for the time being but UDFA Amir Baglien 39/63 brings a lot of intangibles to the table. Stan Howe 45, is another solid press cover guy who is good in the nickle. Jeff Stacel, 42, is a pure man cover corner. Julian Cutting 19/48 is a playmaker against the run and with his ball skills. 5th round pick Camden Warhurst is another pure man cover guy.

SS: Johnnie Cash 21/30, was a punishing hitter but looks like he lost out to UDFA Joseph McCrary 20/36, to start.

FS: Josiah Troupe 37/44, is solid against the run and can man cover which arent huge positional skills but he is better than Elliot McIntyre 22.

LS: Reginald Olechowski 12, is a solid long snapper.
