Wonder if they'll double up on AT now. The WR depth will be tested today.
But this game is different. Diggs is out. And Slay would be a waste on Treadwell. Slay is one of the league's best outside corners, but unlike PatPete, Lattimore, Rhodes, etc., he can, and has, moved inside to cover the slot. I sorta think he might move inside today. I'm very curious to see how they choose to cover us.
I have to say this game has me a little worried in terms of our passing game. That said, we should be able to run on them. Snacks notwithstanding, they give up more yards per carry than any other team. and I like our defense against their offense. The only thing that has me a little worried is that if Rhodes takes Jones, that leaves Waynes covering Golladay, which is a size mismatch.
I sorta think that Rhodes will shadow Jones and we'll bracket Golladay with Waynes and a big nickel.
