I think being the spoiler and eliminating their path to the playoff requires Whitt to be decisive this week – Let’s make a QB decision and move forward with it – I don’t think a team this putrid on offense can waste time splitting reps beyond a couple of days this week. I would hope that next week they pick a horse and ride it – build some packages around the strengths of that guy and fricking execute.
Use the weapons that have been sitting on the sidelines basically all year – Pittman, King, McClain, Ryan – spread the ball out and make them cover everyone – then maybe Kuithe and Singer might be covered one on one. The Zoobs like man coverage too so lets expose them.
We need to run the ball successfully or we will get blitzed no matter who is slinging the rock. I have watched the Zoobs and they create pressure and get home – they might kill us with pressure if we can’t establish the run to set up the pass.
Lastly – they have a good offense – somewhat turnover prone but good none the less – they use the option a fair amount and also mix in a good amount of QB run. They go heavy run at times because the QB isn’t super accurate. Hopefully we can contain the edges and bring enough pressure to get their guy to be a little wild with the ball.
I remember all the years of terrible defeats to these guys – I think on paper they might kill us but – I do believe we hold a mental edge – they have a ton of pressure on them and we should be loose – the season is over – but we take away any margin of error in their path to the playoff –
That’s enough for me and hopefully enough for the boys –
