1- Matthew must use his legs if needed, get positive yards on every possible play, don't hold it for a guy to come open, don't force it into coverage, a 2-5 yard gain on a run/scramble can allow for the drive to continue or at least make the next down easier to work.
2- if the run is not there don't forget the short pass game, a 3-5 yard slant etc. is as good as a run play to keep the yards going positive.
3- use the up tempo game to help get into a rhythm...not throughout the entire game, but maybe on that 1st drive, anytime you get a nice chunk play, 15-20 yards etc.....
4- don't play to be afraid to lose.....if the clock needs to run out use any means necessary to keep the ball, at all costs don't let them have that ball in a close game at the end.....don't run it 3 times up the middle for instance to run down the clock.....
5-Powell may be a key to this games as well with his PR game.....I think he could well have a nice return in this one......gotta a feel for it, or maybe that's just my nervous stomach going off.
6-No needless/stupid penalties to help them offensively or defensively....play aggressive but keep it in check.
7- Hit Brady, push Brady, Smack talk Brady, Bat balls down.....
