I don't think ALFMO's stats were that troubling considering what he was running into (FYI, I wish they were better.)

Morris is a constant. Jones is killing people and juking them all at the same time.

Kirk is a relative unknown without much on film.

If you're a defensive coordinator do you play the pass or the run against us the first game of the season?

I think they will play the run hard, pressure Kirk and force him to make quick decisions. They will see if he can beat them with his arm IMHO.

With their front 7, I think they will test that first and see if they can stop the run and the pass without the extra man in the box. If we run on them well, then they will bring the safety up in the box. With their front 7, you give them a chance first before opening yourself up for the pass. Especially since they can rush the passer good without blitzes, and with the addition of Suh, I think it makes it more dangerous.
