So we know what happened the past few times we played them. They dominated the possession and hogged the ball all day. So if you are JDR, how do you come in attacking them on defense?
It may sound crazy, but I'm stacking the box early and often. 1st, 2nd, & 3rd down. Crowd the line taking away the run, make the OL have to guess at who to block and put defenders in the lanes on short routes, pick plays and screens. I make the WR's have to beat our CB's all day long. If they do, good for them. I don't have much faith in the Chargers speed at the skill positions and I like our combination of DRC/Harris/Champ vs. Allen, Green, Royal and Gates.
