2024 Offensive Outlook: Win with speed!! We don’t have size but do have some good athletes. Our success depends on controlling the tempo of the game keeping games close and stay balanced. The main keys are to stay on schedule move the chains, limit negative plays, have discipline and avoid penalties, resilience to bounce back after a negative play.

2024 Defensive Outlook: The best offense is a great defense. We need to build on last year we were decent at stopping the run we got to put it all together we will have a strong unit. Keys are to be disciplined, finish tackles, 11 men to the ball every down, Limit big plays and get off the field on 3rd down.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: Special teams can change games quickly, the key is to keep the ball safe on returns over everything give away possessions, limit big returns, make big plays, and change games.
