Team NotesTE Roush a reliable target, 70 catches past 2 yrs
New HC Reich a one year interim HC
HC Taylor fired by Luck for behavior issues
QB Brown some exp, #1 Daniels left (Aub)
RB awful LY, Daniels was lead rusher. Not ideal
Def returns a ton, but a disaster LY.
Former QB Luck now GM, oversees HC/staff
