2019 Offensive Outlook: Keys to Offense this year is building depth on the O-Line and getting the ball into our playmakers hands. Need our QB to be a dual threat to keep the defense from putting 8 in the box.

2019 Defensive Outlook: Keys to defense is having some of our younger guys det up and fill the positions that we lost starters from last year. Continue to play fast and put pressure on the O-line and the QB. Get the the whole defense to the ball at every snap.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: We need to do better on our Kick offs so we can keep the other team on their side of the 30 on every kickoff. Need to block better on our punt team and punt return teams. We have play makers as returners but need to block to give them a chance to make plays.
