Not wishing to see a repeat of our last game against the Huskers, I offer a couple of ideas for damage control:
1. Shorten the game. On offense, we should not be snapping the ball with more than 5 seconds on the game clock. Assuming we are at least able to move the ball and pick up some first downs, this will minimize the time Martinez is on the field. In other words, we must dominate time of possession.
2. One or maybe two players must be assigned to bird dog Martinez. They should be getting hits on him or be in a position to do so on every play. Personally, I'd like this job assigned to Tinsley.
3. Assume Martinez will run the ball on every play. I know he's not their only threat but he is their biggest threat and their quick hitter. Remember, we are talking loss mitigation here.
4. No turnovers and no freaking arm tackling.
That's all I have for now. Add your own. No negative Nellies please (that means you, Art)
