To blitz or not to blitz Griffin today....

[arglebargle]

Good question. RG3 seems to do well against the blitz, making it a risky call. Perhaps the Cowboys will do a bit more of variety on who will be the 4th rusher. Looking at their stats and their WR corps, maybe doubling Moss and going for a steady 4 man rush might be the best choice.

there you go

Morris opens the game up for giffin stop morris and we limit rg3 sure rg3 will make some great plays and scramble away a few times but hey he did that against carolina and they didn't allow a touchdown for 59 minutes

Bend don't break. Make RGIII string together 10+ play drives without miscues to get points on the board.

Last thing I wanna see is the back of Scandricks Jersey on a Cov. 0 blitz and Santana Moss celebrating in the endzone.

Garcon is finally healthy and figures to be the main cog in their passing offense going forward.

Still, their passing game doesn't concern me. Their QB running for huge chunks of yards does.

He's probably wrong like usual, or deliberately trying to mislead. Blitzing Griffin leaving man coverage for him to take off and run sounds crazy. I'd play zone all day to keep all eyes on him and try to make him methodically march the ball down the field.

Garcon is nowhere near healthy, he's playing in bigtime pain and still contemplating surgery.

If he beats us today it'll be because of those kinds of plays.

They should run more delayed blitzes today to get him to commit to a run lane. It will help contain his running, and will work to speed tempo up a bit for him. Doing this would put a lot of pressure on the corners to hold up early on in routes.
