However, the available defensive ends are Cam Sample, Myles Murphy, and Joseph Ossai who will need to play out of their minds to contain Lamar Jackson. It’s going to be up to DJ Reader and BJ Hill to pressure Jackson along with the secondary who needs to plaster the Baltimore receivers like glue.
Hear me out
I actually think we’ll contain Lamar better tomorrow because of this.
With Trey and Sam we are likely to ask them to do more things because they are beasts
With the guys we’ll have tomorrow we know for a fact they aren’t gonna do much so we won’t ask them to do all the shit we ask our starters to do. So it’s likely this changes our gameplan and we have zero tape out on how we play things without Sam AND Trey.
This is gonna sound insane but I’d give up on sacks on 1st and 2nd down. Wouldn’t send one blitz. Id tell Ossai and Murphy to just contain Lamar and contain the edge on runs. Then do your usual Lou plays or rushing 3 on 3rd down and all that.
Make Lamar take a king sized shit on us by passing. Dont let him out the pocket and keep a body on WRs.
Hopefully this leads to bad throws or tips at the LOS by Murphy and Ossai.
