It all starts with tackling Travis Etienne. They do a great job getting him matched up both in the run and pass game with backers and safeties, and he’s one of the best “after contact” players in the entire country. He breaks more tackles than just about anyone. They know that, so they scheme him to get 1 on 1 with a defender, he makes them miss more often than not, and that’s all she wrote.
Tackle that kid. It all starts there. If we miss 5+ tackles on him, he’s gonna have 200 total yards and when you add Lawrence’s ability to throw every ******* pass right on the money, you can’t beat them. Nobody is beating them with both those kids doing what they want. And you’re not gonna stop Lawrence throwing down the field. He’s too special. So limit Etienne’s ability to get into your secondary. Tackling is absolutely paramount.
