1. Health
2. Feed Mixon the ball and let him wear defenses down and break big plays
3. Let Dalton go deep to Ross and AJ a few times a game. We have speed on the outside, so keep the defense off-balance for when they load the box to stop Mixon.
4. Maybe the biggest (aside from health), is the offensive line because, while they could be good, it's still a big question mark. Let's hope stability on the line this year allows them to gel and play well. I'm not even looking for an All-Pro line, but just open some holes for Mixon and give Dalton time to throw the ball.
5. Defensive pass rush because it's true that we need to stop the run first, but it's a passing league, and we need to get after the Qb, especially Ben because we need to beat the Steelers to go anywhere.
