The offense needs to attack the edges, something we did very little of during the preseason. Bobby Wagner has great range but if we can get Mixon and our receivers on jet sweeps to the edge we can limit his impact. I'd expect to see more of the outside zone running we had been expecting coming in to the season this week. Because the Seahawks run almost exclusively cover 3 look for a lot of seam routes out of the slot and TE position, Curl/Flat combo's on the outside, and trips formations with flood concepts. Clowney is overrated as a pass rusher but with reed out we can slide to his side if we want. I'm not too worried about the pass rush though as I believe the ball will get out quick as it has all pre season.
Defensively, we are going to have to stop the run. I'd consider running a cover 4 which would get your safeties more involved in the run defense. On passing downs look for Lawson to rush from everywhere including from a standing LB position inside. I believe Jackson could mirror Lockett all game which should still give us the flexibility to spy Wilson if we need to at certain times.
