Yes, that is how every offense will likely try to attack our D early in the game, and if the game is tight or we are behind. It is really the only way to go with our all-world DL and secondary. Our LB core is unproven and the weakest link, though they are not horrible.
That is why our best defense is our offense scoring early and often. You can't play smashmouth and dink/dunk if you are 14+ points behind.
Goff and the offense have to start much faster than they did last night. Once we finally got ahead in the second half and Gruden tried to open up the playbook, our D killed 'em. Shut them out, created turnovers and even scored. Wade made some brilliant adjustments as well, as usual.
