Last year, he threw for 1,100 yards and will look to improve that this year. Lance Bell played a decent amount at RB last season, and he should get more work this year. At WR, Chase Amick and Cody Price will see a lot of work, as will Devin Freeman. The defense has LBs Richard Tackett and Trent Mack leading the way, with youngster Doug Gentry also a factor. Michael Gamble will lead the defensive effort up front. There is talent on the roster, but drastic improvement on last year's four-win season will take a lot of work.
