Now we have Dre (who flashes and has good to great games sometimes, but is inconsistent), possibly a banged up Hall, and Dennard is out for the year. We have a lot of inexperienced guys out there.
I am talking more about pulling your safeties back some more, and not letting anyone get behind them.
I would maybe pull a LBer and go extra Safety or CB. The Pass Rush will be key here, we will have to get to Ben, and MAKE him throw quick, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be able to throw a 40 yrd pass, no matter how good the pass rush is. So I think we should keep at least one safety back to make sure that Ben doesn't have that long ball as an option. If he does get a guy open, then that safety will have to make the play to prevent it from going for a TD.
that's the key for me...to be honest both Reggie and Iloka (really need him to play) are normally pretty disciplined at staying over the top of receivers but i think thats really got to be the priority in this game with our CB situation
If Bryant gets 1 on 1 with Hall on the outside at any moment i think Big Ben goes deep so we better pray we have deep safety cover. Hall is super smart and competitive but he simply has not got the wheels anymore.
Normally i veer towards more aggressive approach and would love to blitz more but i think whilst it may be frustrating we're going to have to try and make them go the length of the field and be more prevent.
I'm hoping reggie/iloka come up with an deep interception at some point
