Re: WSJ: Big Plays Are Key To App Win At DValley
I completely agree that big plays will be the key on offense. Pass rush is the key on D.
Yes, we need to sustain drives and use the clock, but if we can't spread them downfield and they're able to stack the box, we're going to have a long day.

I think pass rush on D will be key also, but once we are back there we need to contain their mobile quarterback. If he can get loose and improvise, it's gonna be a long day.

Somebody who is more knowledgeable than me list our most glaring weakness. DB's? I can't imagine that any phase on the offensive side would be at the top. Would special teams coverage be a concern in this game? Can we afford to bring 6 or 7 on blitzes and get pressure? I feel good about the O line, RB depth, tight ends and receiver depth.

Re: WSJ: Big Plays Are Key To App Win At DValley
Coverage is our weakness (many open drops for Howard last week). And that is what worries me the most currently. If we blitz (I know we will, probably a lot) and don't get there, we are in trouble.
