Don't believe everything you think.
What to do, what to do?????
I know our offense is going to have a definate slant to more running by Ricky and Lucas. I don't think our coaches are dumb enough to go into this game trying to air it out......my question is, What is going to be our defensive strategy?
Do we sell out to stop the pass, and let AG rack up the yards between the 20's, or do we stack the line and make Farve beat us?
The former strategy has been effective twice, against Indy and Buffalo, both teams got lots of yards from EJ and TH but only one TD between them. Both games were winnable from a defensive standpoint, in other words the game plan was what I would consider a success. It's all about the points and neither running back made any difference in that department. (*note* this is not an invitation to Bills fans to debate ....this is my opinion, if you disagree, tough, I don't want to hash this out again.) So do we run the same strategy in this game or not?
I know it sounds like a simple answer, " Of course, You shut down Farve and take your chances with Green, are you on glue?????!!!!???"
But I think, if Farve is injured, then perhaps it might be best to force them to pass the ball.
"But it's not his arm that is injured!!!"
This I know but,....it is his knee and that will possibly effect his mobility and escapability, which is not a good thing when you have one of the fastest speed rushers in the NFL playing on the D-line across from you. I think the Packers are aware of this also and are probably going to come into this game with something much similar to our offensive game plan. Run Ahman run......so, if we can shut him down, force them to pass and THEN get pressure on Farve, I think we will be able to get some TO's.
I think when it comes to defense, stopping the run should be first and foremost because of the old saying about passing the ball.......
"Only three things can happen when you pass the ball, and two of them aint good."
Of course, last time we sold out to stop the run, TrInt Green lit us up for a career day so what do I know?:goof:
Hopefully actually getting some pressure on the QB can change all that.
What do you guys think?
