Disguise the pressure using 4-man fronts and nickle/dime packages. Don't pressure him into running. Let him run out of options, look to run but have nowhere to go (contain). Don't get behind him on the edges, and USE MAN COVERAGE.

It's not hard. You just have to be patient and be in good shape or have some solid backups.

I don't think it is as simple as just containing and forcing him to throw.

Obviously that's the objective, but you also have to play good coverage and hurry his throws. I think that's why the 3 man front with a pressure blitz from different areas worked well.

They were basically doing what everyone is saying with the 4 man front, but not allowing him to pick an easy match up pre snap by disguising where the 4th man would come from.

This for the most part, but mix in a zone every now and then to confuse the frick out of him. THat's how we got our picks.
