How do you contain WF offense ? Is it containable ? For now we don't have the talent to get QB sacks and really WF's offense with it's quick reads and seems like always ahead of the chains offense makes it hard to put them in 3rd and longs . So can we give ourselves a better than 50% chance on 3rd downs ? Maybe.
The chances of getting to the QB is slim tomorrow but if Hartman plays. They are NOT going to call plays to put him in any danger so it's going to be a lot of WR screens , power run, quick slants , and occasional deep ball 80% of the time down the sideline for 50-50 balls. VU to have any chance has to be able to get to 3rd and 5+ to have any chance. Yeah VU will score points but I don't think anybody thinks we can win a boat race tomorrow. Defense will be the difference tomorrow. Contain and gamble I think will be key.
DL: RPO offense. Hartman will not run tomorrow so focus on RB and forget about getting a sack but would rather keep your eyes on the QB and get them hands up to throw off the timing and arch of those slants . 3rd and long get you some but other than that be disciplined .
LB: Someone has to be the spy in the backfield at all times. Motion man, RB, and a occasionally blitz on 1st and 2nd down. The others have to play deep and read and react and make a otherwise WF 8 yard play only 4 or less. WE HAVE TO GET to 3rd down.
DB's : Play as tight as you can and make them throw the perfect pass down the sideline. If you get beat so what they earned it move on but shut down the WR screen and quick toss.
Safeties: Will be the key along with the LB's. Safeties have to be our gamblers and be ready to make the break on balls or help with the screen game and make the sure tackle. Anchor Down Men It's an opportunity you have earned ! I'll be there !
