Rome Eternals

 

Offense 

Tempo 

Fast fast fast.  Ivory Coast lacks depth up front so  we are aiming to tire out the first four of the  roster. 

Toting the Rock

While our base is a three wide, we will run a good amount of two tight ends this game taking Cooper off the field.  We want to run directly at this defense who doesn’t have any big fat guy run cloggers up the middle and a LB corps that is more suited towards stopping the pass.  

We start the game with Gurley be we also will rotate in Mack and Lindsey liberally to keep fresh runners attacking the defense weating them down.  Up front, we have one of the best lines in BDL and we will lean on them to push us to long drives chunking out yardage in an old school football manner.  Later in the game we plan to take advantage of an overzealous defense with some counter runs and sweeps when they start stacking the middle

Passing

We will run a fair amount of play action from the success of our running game.  Ivory Coast has a good corner group so our hope is to catch the youngsters starting into the backfield and hitting some deep shots.  We catch a break with PP7 suspended so we like our wide receivers in most matchups here. If we can get one on one with White, we are gonna take some shots there as he really struggled last season after a great rookie year.  We also will be looking to hit Howard or Eifert over the top on a sneaking up defense and Lindsey out of the backfield against a tired LB squad

Up Front

Obviously IC has some big time pass rushers but we probably have the best tackles in the league and hopefully beating on the edges all day wears them down.  We plan on chipping mack and sliding our line towards the other edge to buy us more time in obvious passing downs. Our rbs serve as excellent check down options against blitzing 

TL/DR:  Run heavy hurry up to wear down thin defense.  Attack middle of line, chip edges and trusting the talented line.  Hit some deep shots and crosses off play action. Ball control

 


Defense

This week we face Matt Ryan and a solid running tandem led by Nick Chubb 

Unfortunately for IC, Trent Williams is holding out so I'm guessing they are starting Andre Smith at LT.  Smith is a huge downgrade and we are gonna send blitzes from that side often to make sure we get him in one on ones.  Ryan can be deadly if you give him time but he's not much of a creator so rattling him is the key to success 

On the outside we will be playing majority man one deep safety.  We feel our corner talent is the best group in the league. Humphrey will be on Jeffrey, Jackson will get well Jackson or Anderson while Amukamra gets Samuel.  If both the speedster are out nrc gets whichever lines up in the slot. 

Hicks is in charge of Chubb out of the backfield while either LVE or Swearinger grabs cook depending on who is blitzing.  Boston plays the cover one role for us. 

This defense allows us to put Swearinger in the box to help against the run while up front we have a great run stopping line with Dunlap Mccoy and Tomlinson. Our rotation is much deeper this season including ziggy ansah on an edge with Tillery and ioannidis pass rushing down specialists.  We will rotate our ends and tackles pretty frequently this game to speed past Andre Smith on the outside. If IC keeps a player in, his cover man gets the underneath robber zone. Two te Milano hops on the field. Our offensive tempo should allow this strategy of fresh linemen to have its best success against a tired o line.  

We will per usual mix in zones blitz, base zone and occasional cover two man just to keep the offense guessing 

Tl/dr. Blitz the Andre Smith side of the field, rotate lineman frequently, cover one heavy with S in box to help against the run
