The NFL regular season is fast approaching the finish line, and so is 2022. Before long, the playoffs will be underway, and more and more teams will unofficially kick off the 2023 offseason. If the fall and winter provide a platform for franchises to reign supreme atop the league, then the turn of the calendar also represents a chance for clean slates: for the reconstruction of rosters, coaching staffs, expectations and goals. With that in mind,
Brock McGinn Women Jersey we identified one New Year's resolution for each of the 's 32 teams. Whether still contending for a title or well on the way to a rebuild, every club can prioritize something in 2023: 2023 NFL New Year's Resolutions1 Be smarter with ' usage. Easy to say now in retrospect, with the star QB still recovering from a hard hit taken on a designed run against the . Certainly a huge part of Hurts' game is using his legs. But a few times in 2022, the coaching staff has leaned more on his tough running than, say, a more-than-capable backfield and pa sing game. He's proven he can be a franchise talent; now the top priority is protecting him, even if also from himself.2 Don't be afraid of the run game. Josh Allen will win and lose games -- mostly win them -- with his gunslinging mentality and unteachable power both as a thrower and runner. But things are so much easier for the when they're not just asking Allen to be a one-man highlight reel, and both and have been efficient and explosive when given ample opportunity. After combining for more than 200 yards against the Bears in Week 16, they should retain sizable roles all the way through the postseason.3 Get involved. It's pretty tough to nitpick the , to be honest, and both Andy Reid and would do just fine without Hardman. But the speedy wideout is returning from injury to give Kansas City more electricity
Joel Edmundson Kids Jersey up its sleeve, and he was actually an underrated gadget player before going down, with five touchdowns in a three-game span. Incorporating him on deep balls and red zone sweeps would simply add to their trustworthy attack.4 Don't let a playoff game come down to a field goal. Not because they haven't proven resilient in close games -- quite the opposite! -- but because fans have been through enough near-heart attacks this year. And because we're not sure Minnesota can handle the po sibility of a Blair Walsh-esque finish to a season otherwise seemingly marked by destiny. In all seriousne s, they've played things so close this year that they probably can't afford to count on such good fortune in January, when contenders like the , and will provide a true challenge.5 Ease back into the lineup. With a playoff spot locked up and already serving as a Swi s Army Knife/safety valve for rookie QB , there's really no need for San Francisco to overload Samuel and risk aggravation of his ankle injury before the real games begin. He and McCaffrey will be the bona fide catalysts of Kyle Shanahan's attack come playoff time, so it's best to keep him rested and recovering for as long as po sible.6 Leave no stone unturned up front. We're referring more specifically to the lo s of right tackle , who had found his groove especially as a run blocker before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Replacing him may be as simple as affording fill-in occasional help, but Cincy can't allow to be swallowed up as the team looks to get over the hump and exceed last season's Super Bowl bid, even if it means exploring emergency outside help.7 Keep quiet once the playoffs begin. This team is talented enough to make a real run, as per usual, but it also has a curious tendency of overhyping itself. Dallas, of course, can't be fully blamed for external expectations, which are part of the i sue here (America's Team has won more headlines than big games in recent decades). But if Mike McCarthy can do one thing besides stay out of his own way in situational decision
Rod Brind'Amour Men Jersey -making, it's convince the players to let the on-field work do the talking.8 For the love of Pete, get Lamar Jackson a wide receiver.This, of course, is a suming Baltimore retains Jackson himself, either via franchise tag or lucrative extension. The are rightly built to win on the ground, capitalizing on Jackson's unmatched speed at the position, but they need to take a page out of the Eagles' playbook and help their young dual threat develop as a pa ser by actually providing him an alpha out wide.9 Don't overthink the key downs on the big stage. The are playoff-bound for the first time in illustrious young career, even as they inevitably make things hard for themselves more often than not. This one's for Brandon Staley above all: yes, it's good and fine to be committed to the analytics, but after all but coaching L.A. out of the postseason at the end of 2021, it would be a discouraging close to a resilient year if he again gets too cute in the clutch.10 Keep in the fold. Notice we're not saying "guarantee Jones the 2023 QB job." If there's a young/rookie signal-caller New York likes and can obtain, they should make it happen. But re-signing Jones shouldn't break the bank, enabling the club to focus on more pre sing holes acro s both sides of the ball. No matter how this year ends, the former first-rounder has probably earned another shot under Brian Daboll, but this time with better weapons
Hurricanes Blank Men Jersey at his disposal.11 Dive into the QB market. took noticeable steps forward under Mike McDaniel, but he remains a questionable off-script playmaker. More importantly, his
Janne Kuokkanen Women Jersey health is a bigger priority than his football future; with at least two and maybe three concu sions this year, and an injury history dating further back, Miami simply cannot -- and should not -- rely on his availability. McDaniel's system, with such explosive wideouts, just needs an efficient QB to fly high.12 Resolve the ownership i sues. No matter what's going on in the standings, in the locker room, etc., the spotlight has consistently returned to Daniel Snyder and Co. for alleged misdoings. Fair or not, it would be better for everyone involved if a potential sale of the franchise proceeds expeditiously. That way the front office can be properly rea se sed (GM Martin Mayhew's two QB gambles in two years: and ), and a real long-term investment can be made under center without the looming specter of an organizational meltdown.13 Admit the mistakes up top. As in, if you're not gonna take your lumps and replace Todd Bowles and/or Byron Leftwich atop the staff, you'd better add a fresh voice that will inject some sorely lacking creativity into their offense, or enlist Bruce Arians to reclaim his job. The team has certainly not quit despite a drastic drop-off from the first two years with , but the frequency with which the Bucs
