Outlook: The Defensive Line will be the strength for Alief Taylor in 2008. QB Rodney Owens and FB Demarcus Dennis will need to find some help on offense. Newcomer Jordan Are could also see time behind center. In order for the offense to find success, a RB will have to step to the forefront. Taylor will have to keep games low scoring and force turnovers in order to have a successful season.
