Arthur Smith and Charles Mouton have great upside running the ball, and Justin Davidson, Travis Porter and Ryan Viaclovsky will try to open up running lanes for them. A starting QB must be located, and options catching the ball are limited. The secondary looks like the strength of the defense, though there is hope at linebacker. Improving on a 2-8 season is not impossible, but it will be a challenge.
