2020 Offensive Outlook: Important to find solid replacements to replace two senior linemen. We pride ourselves on physical play up front and controlling the clock with our ground game. To be successful we need to be efficient with our scheme and improve the big play potential.

2020 Defensive Outlook: We will have a solid returning group of players. I feel this is where we stand to have the most improvement. They were a very young group a year ago and where we were most vulnerable. I am hopeful the experience and trust in their assignment will allow us to be much better. To have a great year we have to be better against elite teams defensively .

2020 Special Teams Outlook: Replacing a kicker
