2021 Offensive Outlook: Offensive success will come through hard work and off-season preparation. In order to have success, we need to limit mistakes get the ball in the end zone. We have playmakers and spreading the ball around will be key. We should be able to stretch the field horizontally and vertically. Upfront we are experienced and strong. We go as the offensive line goes. If we find consistency in the pass game and balance we should be set up to have plenty of success
2021 Defensive Outlook: Our defense returns a core of linebackers that will anchor the team. We have experienced all over the place on defense which will help us get lined up and play. The defensive line will be able to eat up blocks, while the secondary tries to smother the opponent’s pass game. Limiting big plays and creating turnovers will give us an opportunity to be in every game.
2021 Special Teams Outlook: The key to special teams is being consistent and finding explosive plays. We have some good return personal coming back that will give us a lift with field position. Our kicking game needs to improve and help with field position, especially after scores.
