-Wrap up on defense and gang tackle; can’t let them bully us for extra yards - Kirby won’t hesitate to roll the dice on 4th and less than 5 if they are down.

They did it last year when they were down,

1. Move the chains. No pre-snap penalties. No negative plays on 1st down. We got a qb that's on a Steph Curry-like heater. And that Goergia secondary is a little bit leaky to put it in polite terms. Lean on what works, the pass game, and see if we can bust 2 or 3 runs off it.

2. Mix in some tempo. My god, we snap the ball with milliseconds to spare every play. Makes the offense predictable.

3. Get Stockton off schedule. 4 sacks in 3 games. Minimal pressure. That ain't it. Wommack has to get in his bag and generate some pressure. He has to factor in Stockton having decent wheels. I suspect they're going to keep dropping Russaw into coverage instead of just rushing him off the edge, so I'll stop whining about it but somehow we have to make these guys uncomfortable.

4. Get off the field on 3rd down. This will be the most telling stat. If the defensive snaps are in the 60s it will have been a good day. If they're in the 80s, there will be hate mail.
