Gameplan coming off the bye

[Bilbo Saggins]

Be prepared to win with patient, sustained drives. Have Joe Burrow prepared to emulate the most boring and vintage incarnation of Tom Brady. More Doug Flutie and less Brett Favre this time around. For play calling, I'd be tempted to run it straight at Watt, maybe do some designed roll outs to the weak side so that someone can try to lay a nice trap block on Watt early in the game. Short passes to Hurst/Boyd on first down and then running it on 2nd and 3rd could be a good recipe. Defensively I think that alternating between cover 2 man and cover 2 invert could be a good approach if the front 4 can take care of business. They're going to try to force feed Pickens - I'd think that Apple with safety help should do alright. Freiermuth is a pest  - hopefully Flowers and/or Wilson can stay on top of him.
