Great idea Dr. D. Bench Bulger and start Fitzpatrick with max protection. Two TE's, ( Walker on one side and Goldman on the other) fullback & Jackson. Run the ball with a 65 to 35 run pass ratio. Fitzpatrick is much more mobile than Bulger and would have more time to hit big plays downfield rolling out of the pocket or scrambling if he had to. If we could get up by a score or two, the Bears will need to pass. Stack eight in the box on defense and force them to throw to keep from going three and out. If we could win the time of position battle we'll be in it at the end.
Lovie runs the bend but don't break defense, we'll need to break that in the redzone to have a chance to win it.
If Haslett has anything left in that bag of tricks he's got hiding in his closet, he's going to need them this week. Rams should blitz at least 20 times in this game with a variety of defenders. Would like to see more stunting by our d-line to create havoc with their blocking schemes.
Ok...there's the blue print, go gettum boys !!!!!
