While the skill positions appear to be strong (especially at WR with Jonathan Rodriguez and Freddie Sanchez), the offensive and defensive lines will have to develop quickly in order to make a strong playoff run. They do return more than league and city rival California, tough, so expect the Lancers to be in the thick of the fight for the Del Rio crown.
