2024 Outlook:
Offense: Offensively we need to Raise the Bar this season. We must protect the football, get off the ball quick and be fundamentally sound up front, and we must execute at a high level.

Defense: We need to play with a relentless effort defensively this season. We must be confident in our alignment and assignment and be physical and fundamentally sound tacklers.

Special Teams: We need to control field position with our special teams this season and be solid in our kicking game.
