I suspect we just overwhelm all facets of their game given a massive talent differential and a first year coach.

I presume that you mean we play them straight up. No tendency to either side.

I thought about including that option. Even if we work to shut down the run game, players like Stokes, Campbell, Daniels, Stevenson/Webb, and Lecounte are strong enough to win their job and not get beat over the top or in the red zone.

And vice versa (jordan Davis impacts the interior run game so much that it frees up other defenders to make plays inside and outside... even if we arent devoting to run blitzes or numbers in the box).

I could see us playing straight up. But kirby usually wants to take away what they do best.
