Spread and shred or test the middle?

Post by stillthere » Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:07 pm

If the game gets played on Tuesday with the lack of D-line Baltimore has would you spread them out and force the limited numbers to continually rush the passer to wear them out or do you try to take advantage in the run game? I think it would be smart to gas them early and pound on them late. If you are worried about Snell and McFarland in blitz pick up then take them off the field and go with the 4 WR and Ebron set (or 5 wide) forcing the Ravens to declare coverage a bit more.

It could work the other way as well Rawk Pawndin all game long until the front of the D is just catching chest shots late in the game. Sprinkle in deep shots.

First three plays will be Snell up the middle for 2.

Snell on a slow developing outside run that will lose 3 yards

Ben throwing short of the sticks to JuJu.

We WILL be easing in.

Prime Time match up, because we're playing in it.

Snow and wind for the game. Calling for 4 to 6 inches here in Youngstown.

Playing against a team without a ton of starters, that will barely be able to field 40 players....in a blizzard ==> expect Ben to throw it 60 times.

Ben comes back, Tomlin doesn't = CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
