On offense, WRs are talented and deep with Clayton Cooper, Rhett Ballard and newcomer Taylor McClain. Defensively, Linebacker play is strong, led by Matt Pierce. Skill position talent may come from newcomers with QB Cadden Cowan and RB Xavier Sanchez. Turner thinks that if QB play is solid, and the defense stops the run, the team will be in for a good year. Turner believes that a good start to the season is critical.
