Most:
1. Secondary - a lot of talent but they were below average last year and we need a few guys to step up; way too many 3rd down conversions by the opposition
2. Running back - some potentially good backs with a variety of skills, but, imo, not a single player who looks to be the clear #1; need someone to pick up tough 3rd-and-3 yards, someone to pick up blitzes, someone to be a threat to catch a pass out of the backfield, someone to be a big play HR hitter; don't know if that's one player or 3 different ones
3. Pass rushing - whether from OLB or DEs, need someone or more than one player to step up and get pressure on the QB consistently
4. Punter - geez, we were very mediocre punting the ball and, more times than not, would lose significant field position when we'd swap punts with the opponent
Least:
1. DL - a superstar surrounded by quality with quality depth behind the starters
2. TE and WR - multiple targets with experience and skills; should be fun to watch Hamden move pieces around to create matchup problems
3. OL - I'm confident that we have enough physical talent in this group and now we have a proven coach who will get them to be more consistent, communicate better, be a bit nastier and get back close to BBW level
4. QB - BVD was very highly recruited, has all the physical tools, practiced against extremely good defenses at UGa for 2+ years; he may not be a superstar but I believe he'll outperform Leary and bring back the threat of a QB run to keep defenses from teeing off on our OL; I expect good things from him
