How can we best defend against the Lamar-Henry rushing combo?

Play ultra-conservative, be aggressive with Micah only in certain spots. Make them take the long way to the endzone, Jackson's inaccuracy/penalty/turnover, will eventually rear its ugly head. Don't give up the big play. IMO, our only shot.

Keeping their offence off the field is a brilliant concept.
The key is to run, run, run the ball with a 4.0 ypc.
Unfortunately, our running game canna sustain long drives. In fact, our running game is the worst in 30 years.
No way we keep the Ravens O off the field.
If a RB carries the ball for an average of 3.5 yards, then 3 carries is a first down.... theoretically.

The running game doesn't have to be prolific, it just has to exist. No matter how little yardage they get, if they abandon the run then the Ravens abandon restraint in going after Dak.

Good lad, a running offence that merely exists will put sustained pressure on our almost average secondary.
Not a good thing, me hardy.

All that, and the real answer is: Get a real GM. Our problems w/ the run point straight at horrific GMing. No way around it.

I have Diggs with the most business decisions in the run support category.
