That said, If I was playing them. I'd put my second string to start the game, and then spend the first quarter collecting late hits, pass interference and personal foul penalties. I would make sure that every skill player got hit on every play, as hard as I could get them hit. Then I'd put my starters in and spend the next three quarters playing catchup, hoping that I knocked them silly enough to throw off some of those timing routes. Hey, if they're going to score anyway, might as well make 'em pay for it.

Talk about being unethical...and you would probably lose your job for this.

You do remember we're talking about college kids, right?

you do realize that you are allowed to hit people without drawing penalties right?

Have all of the Raiders' plays already memorized from the previous season?

Film study but mainly have your LBers and safeties occupy the passing lanes.

This, this is just sad.

Beat them down physically. Hit them , lay on them as long as posible, run them, make each play an effort for them. And hit the QB often.

I think a situation like the Steeler's nickel that Dick LaBeau runs. You need two beast DLs, and two tweeners who can drop into pass coverage as easily as they can punch you in the mouth, guys more like a Thad Gibson, less like a Cam Heyward. This gives you an option to rush 2-4 on any play with out bringing extra. Disguising stunts and other things would help as well. But even if you put pressure on Harrell 50% of the time, he can still have the other 50 to go big. Crabtree has to become a non factor. If that means letting him catch it to annhilate him, and scare the crap out of him, that's what it mean. He's big, strong and fast, and a comfortable Crabtree is bad for any D. If you don't shake Harrell with a good rush and shake Crabtree with a couple vicious hits it's going to be a long day.

There's a Hokie blog that has a pretty good suggestion on how to stop TT.

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. You need MORE defenders than normal, not less.

hire their head coach and then hope his replacement is dumb enough to keep everything the same?

[Bucky Katt]

Send the starting center to Tijuana?
