Agreed re the defense. Don't show Minshaw the same stuff. He's a much better thrower than a thinker.
Yes, I'd all but bench Dylan Jackson. You need quickness--Reid, --off the edge.
Lots of nickel--hell, mostly nickel.
You can play nickel LBs--half safety, half ILB--with both Barton and Okereke.
They're fast enough.
They are a rhythm offense: they get one good long drive and another follows, and often another.
You have to disrupt that.
They get out of rhythm, too.
Screw with the bubbles, their version of a sweep. Pull a Meeks and steal one of those throws, or make Minshaw afraid that you can. A pick on that throw is a Pick-Six.
This isn't a bad matchup for our defense--if we sit Jackson much of the time.
