Work in the trenches is a major question mark with lack of experience on both sides of the line. RBs Joseph Mayfield and Hayden Holson should be solid on the ground, and a new QB must be worked in. Jordan Gibbs is the most likely candidate to emerge as the primary signal caller. Hargrove sums up the expectations, "We can be as good or some better if newcomers and experienced players with leadership come in ready to play on Friday nights."
