The Bolts O-line was a little shaky to begin with and they lost a starter (Fluker) against the Lions.  We need to use all sorts of stunts (twist, loops, delayed rush) when we blitz because if we bring blitzers and don't get to Rivers he will burn us.

I definitely agree. We need to confuse him with different looks. But we also need to get pressure with our 4 man front. I think our D will be jacked in our home opener. A lot of hot QBs have come in to PBS and been shut down by a healthy Bengals defense. I'm expecting a good showing.

On O we just need to find a way to get the ground game going so we can control the TOP and keep Rivers sidelined. Win the turnover battle and TOP battle and we win.
