Edward Perkins-Loving sprinted for more than 1,000 yards and a dozen scores last year while Chris Smith gained 700 yards on the ground. Both are back among 12 other returning starters. Davy Clark starts at QB with WR Otis Mathews and Tight End Quincy Russell top targets. If defensive playmakers step up, the offense seems to have tools for a very good year.
