The key is constant pressure from our Defense and watching for the TE/RB and hot read. Last night I noticed the same play Holmgren used on us with the TE...Reid from this school used the same play at least four times or more last night.
With McChuck..you must bring constant pressure but you MUST make a sure tackle because McChuck can run and weave to slip out of pressure. In addition, you cannot over pursue or he simply runs after the pressure runs behind him and next you know he is gone. The Dbs must continue coverage especially when McChuck is on the run because he likes to throw on the run and will burn you if you let off coverage downfield.
DO NOT allow TO to run behind your DBs and have your saftey in position at all times. Be sure the LB covering Westbrook glues him for the dink and dunk pass in the flat..discipline is what is needed and hopefully we have this at the time.
On Defense, the Eagles can be ran on once again, but JJ has to be ready for the quick pass because they will constantly blitz package Bledsoe. TE will be a big part of our game because Witten can get open..we just need to mix the bag in the passing game while giving a steady dose of JJ. Crayton may be the guy who gets the coverage off Glenn/Key in the passing game. We would be wise to use him to keep the defense honest because the kid can catch.
The big pass can be had on their defense as the patriots showed us and a sound running attack like Pitt gave them last year softens their defensive aggressiveness. Easier said than executed but those are a few (not all) ways to play this team.
