The Titans plan to be strong in the backfield, wide receiver corp and defensive secondary forces. Returning talent includes Elias Ochoa RB/LB, Junior Alvarez QB, Carlos Hernandez WR, Jose Ochoa RB/DE, Ricky Vasquez CB, and Efrain Arroyo DE. The Ochoas recorded the #1 and #2 top rushing yards last season. Elias rushed for more than 1,000 yards and had 95 tackles/assists on defense. Hernandez was 2007's top receiver. Coach Emilio Botello told us that, despite losing his entire offensive line, the new line is stronger and more athletic. The Titans boast of having many offensive weapons along with a smart, aggressive defensive secondary. As far as we can determine, it is not an idle boast!
