So what do you guys think our strategy will be for containing Watson? There's the "mush rush" approach and then there's the "go get him" approach. I'm not sure which one scares me less. On the one hand, I feel like Saban and company, in past years have given these types of QB's TOO much respect. The mush rush has allowed some of them to stand around back there long enough to make plays. Sometimes I think we have the best athletes on the field and should just turn them loose. On the other hand, Nick Saban is pretty good at football coaching stuff and might know what he's doing. I guess I'd just like to see Williams, Allen, etc putting Watson on his arse behind the LOS all night. But, can they do it?

Send the rush after him, make him scramble. If he decides to tuck it and run have Reuben Foster and Reggie Ragland waiting on him.

I loved seeing us keep the Safeties deep vs Sparty.

Spy him, and go get him. Bring the heat.

Can someone explain to me why I should be worried about Deshaun Watson on the ground? He's got like 1k yards and 12 TDs in a rinky dink ACC reg season schedule.

Cam and Johnny burned us and the rest of the SEC and had over 20 rush TDs and several hundred more yards than Deshaun. That;s they type of QB that has given us fits.

We hardly had any film on Cardale, and certainly not anything of him doing his best Newton 2.0 gash down the middle and into the red zone.

So, someone, articulate a reason as to why Deshaun Watson is good enough to sniff the taint of this defense.
