You can also adjust protection.

Or roll Teddy out, away from Clemmings's side.

agreed
i don't know what Norv was to do with that.

Maybe a screen pass?

This game I believe should probably be at least 10-0.

Now the home team gets the ball back and is one Julio Jones play on an injury riddled secondary from having the lead. Great.

Norv sees Clemmings is having a hard time, yet again. He has to put a TE over there. Give Teddy at leasy a second where he knows he wont be hit. You cant throw the 1 second passes every time. Get the waste of Space Wallace out of there and let CP (or Wright) stretch the field. At least they wont keep trying to run over the defender. teddy needs to work on the deep ball, even i can see that. But he literally has no time. What do you want him to do?

Oh, yeah... we must have missed those slants, screens and rollouts on that last drive.

While I'm glad they're up at halftime on the road, and I love this defense, you're not going to hold a top 10 offense down for long. The misdirection plays were working and they can continue to utilize those but honestly we're dead in the water if Diggs is the only receiver that can be reliably counted on. At some point, you need to switch up the personnel no matter how much you paid for a guy to be here.
