2019 Outlook: Please let us know the keys about your team on offense, defense and special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year?

Offense: To be an effective offense this year, we need to be able to control the ball, and be efficient in our execution. We need to keep an upbeat tempo, hopefully causing confusion to the defense.

Defense: We need to be great tacklers and efficient on 3^rdand 4^thdowns. We want to take every opportunity in getting the ball back to our offense.

Special Team: We must win field position. For us to be successful, we also need to have some scoring opportunities on Special Teams.
