Outlook: The entire defense must be replaced, but key offensive skill position players return. The offense will have to score and score big for major success. QB Luke Hall leads the offensive attack and RB Alferdo Bennett should see a lot of work. Newcomer Brandon Jackson should see a lot of balls his way at WR.
