10 steps to today's win:
1. Screens. It's been woeful in 2010. Baltimore is a pressure defense. Goodson is the best screen back we have. Davidson will call it in the first two series, with success. Last week, we actually threw a WR bubble to Gettis. I suspect more of that.
2. David Clowney. Slot, and will outmatch his opponent with speed and route running. 100 yard day.
3. Baker: will keep Baltimore pinned deep today. With that, a surprisingly loud crowd will cause false starts with a new RG (Tony Moll), and will force Flacco to burn some time outs.
4. Gamble: time is now. Got paid before the GB game in 08 and has yet to live up. Time to make plays with the ball in the air.
5. Johnson Inside: again. Will a new RG, try this. Give Brown more snaps at LE, and line CJ up beside him. 2-3 sacks from CJ today.
6. Play your assignments: be steady, and smart on D. Get back to October form. Stay true to your assignment, pressure with 4, and continue to put the QB on the turf. No pressure will lead to a 2:30 tee-time foe yours truly.
7. Captain: when you don't fumble, you're fucking good at PR. Baltimore has made some ST errors this year. Study it and beat it.
8. Smitty: if given time, St. Pierre should do what nobody has done since Moore v. Minnesota last year: send 89 on a 9-route and let him work his magic. Hit him with some shallow crosses and simple hitches. Feed the beast.
9. Goody: might not get 100, but is more equipped than 28 to make things happen with shitty blocking. I think you will see at least one run of 50+ from him, vs a poorly timed blitz package.
10. BSP: I'm over it. He's our guy, and I want to see him stand tall, not spazz, but also do what Jimmy doesn't--be fearless and chuck that shit around the field. Manage the clock, don't burn timeouts, and be smart.
