Expectations
Overall,, I'd say we have one of the best staffs in the league. Their young and not even at thier potential, yet they played very well last year. With Galaz coming up and Golson coming back, the offense should be even better than it was last season. However with Mission ahead of us in the division, we believe that it will take a strong effort to take the division, which is our goal. We believe, but do you?
