Use the WR dump downs and screens to replace the pounding of the run game, if you are gonna stay in the gun, just do the delayed draw on occasion. I don't think Hue can commit to the run so don't even try.

Ravens are vulnerable with the te down the seam. Devalve, Njoku doesn't matter, work the TE down the middle and it will occupy those talented safeties and free up your playmakers on the outside.


Defensively, I throw anything and everything at Flacco. this OL is in shambles and don't pretend that its very good. You attack attack attack and have your big boys cram the middle. New members of the OL have trouble communicating and this is how you push them into missed blocks and allow big plays.

Peppers should be in single high leaning towards Maclin.

1. Put pressure on their OL ... stunt, blitz, shift positions, etc. This is a big weakness for them.

2. Move Kizer's pocket and use his mobility ... something we didn't see against Pitt. I'd expect more of it.

3. Commit to the run game. We can't expect to throw 35 times a game.

4. Use double moves on the outside and keep an extra TE to block. Their secondary is suspect;

I go with quick outs, slants, crossing routes, and screens to frustrate their stunting D. When they back off, emphasize the run and burn them deep with play action.

I'm with you on D. Blitz, blitz, blitz. It may leave the corners exposed but it will rattle Joe and should force mistakes and turnovers.

Play physical, tough, smart and penalty free. Since I'm the coach, I'm taking money out of pockets for false starts, and for holding/block in the back penalties on special teams. Any money I take from a special teams player I'm taking from Tabor too.

They did well in the first game and should continue in this game to use the entire, or most of the entire playclock, even in the first quarter, to shorten the game, allow the defense time to discuss on the sidelines, and the offense to find out what to do next too.

The Browns' on offense, should not snap the ball with more than 5 or 6 seconds on the playclock, even in the early parts of the game.

- Accept that this might be a battle of field position and not making mistakes.

- Commit to the run game and pound away regardless of how many 3 and out's it might generate early. Do NOT end up having Kizer throw the ball 40+ times.

- Out-physical them - swarm to the ball on D and prevent anything deep and over the top. Smack them in the mouth (legally).

- Lot of 2 TE sets - and when we do chuck the rock, use play action and some roll outs and use those TE's.

Have Coates/Williams running deep to back off the safeties and get the ball in Coleman's hands early and often on short stuff and hope he can break one. Try to catch them with a post/sluggo combo after they get used to Coleman in the short game.

I don't change much on D from last week. Make them nickel and dime us down the field. Don't give up the big play. Swarm to the ball.
