Outlook: It will be interesting to follow the Indian QB situation, as the past, present, and future are all on the roster. Returning signal caller Kyle Stacy put up ok numbers last season, but newcomer Ryan Black is the future, and he may see time this year too. Terrance Canady will be a top target in the passing game. There are a handful of solid candidates to play on the offensive line, while the defense will be led by Antwon Johnson and Justin Jones at LB and Jimmy Gray and Jeremy Chappelle in the secondary. The QBs need help around them on offense. The defense needs playmakers to emerge.
