Obviously I’m oversimplifying this, but if we keep McMillan in check (below 70 yards?!), do we win the game? Fifita is very good, but does he have other potent weapons at his disposal?
I agree. An old Rick Majerus trick that worked so well in BB, take away the main player and make others beat you. McMillan can be contained with bumps at the line and hand off, deep and short double, and safety coming late all mixed in with base defense looks to give Fifita something to think about. Scalley will mix in some thing to contain or pressure Fifita. Outside of the two the rest are not likely to consistently move on offense.
McMillan is NFL quality. So use the Belichick take the best player out plan. Arizona depends on the big plays to score. Make them earn it with long drives.
They destroyed our defense and shut down our pathetic offense last year. They have confidence they can do it again as reflected by their media. We need to come out early and show them we are a different team. Revenge game written all over this one.
