Twelve starters are back, including stud LB Justin Gauntt. Fellow LB Robert White returns, and they'll be joined on defense by Safeties Micah McCoy and Joel Jernigan. Corners Semaj Holderness and DeMontre Davison help make for a very solid secondary. The offense will hand the ball to QB Ty Taylor who played primarily WR last season. Robert White is the new starter at RB. Both sides of the ball are going to need the lines to step up and show consistency, while the offense needs newcomers to adjust quickly to new roles. Talent is present, but a lot needs to happen quickly to compete from the get go.
