The Leopards could be stronger in 2005 on the defensive side of the ball than they were last year. Look for Stephen DeGrate to make an impact on defense while Will Middlebrooks and Michael Reed look to take charge on offense. Phillip Blackwell could be the sleeper key leader on on offense. If the offensive and defensive lines adjust quick enough, the Leopards could be a very dangerous playoff team.
