2019 Offensive Outlook: We will look to be as fundamental as we can in blocking and route running. As in years past we will look to spread the ball around to as many players as possible with a focus on being as diverse as possible while playing fast and with great effort.

2019 Defensive Outlook: We will look to be aggressive, fundamental and get as many players as possible to play with great effort.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: Special teams we will look to apply pressure to our opponent making this third of the game as explosive as possible for us.
