2018 Offensive Outlook: We first must remain healthy and be able to establish the play action passing game and complete short passes to build confidence to stretch the field.

2018 Defensive Outlook: We must stay healthy and limit big plays. We must hold teams from scoring inside the red zone, create turnovers and make the initial tackles.

2018 Special Teams Outlook: Find a consistent Kicker, Punter and Long-Snapper
