At QB, it will be either Mason Arevalo or David Gonzales, with Jeramy McDonald the man at RB unless someone else steps up. On defense, play at LB should be strong, with Chris Proctor and Christian Clark leading the way. Play in the trenches, especially on offense, looks like it will be good, and that will give new skill players an opportunity to succeed. There are reasons to be optimistic, but some questions still must be answered.
