re: Gimme Your Gameplan

Offense: Dispense with trying to "survive". Take risks and give up the notion of trying to sheild the QB from interceptions. He's good for at least one per game because he likes to make big plays and he trusts his arm. Do the same. 3-4 wide vertical passing plays, NOT DESIGNED RECEIVER OR SPOT PASSES, at least 10 times. If nothing else this decompressed a defense which is CERTAIN to cram 8 players in the box every play.

Oh, and hit them in the mother fricking chops. This is the best defensive interior in the country? They're going to have to prove it.

Defense: More of the same. Mingo and Sam don't have to worry about a "mobile" QB so they can afford to be more aggressive. Watch TE/RB screens, quick slants and dump passes over the middle. Be aggressive with the receivers. Hit them off the LOS to throw off their timing routes.

Hit McCarron early and often whether he has gotten rid of the ball or not.
