This is how to handle the Riders

Though the oddsmakers in Vegas have a 12-point spread against the Bombers, there is a strategy for dealing with the Riders:

(1) Use Milt as a decoy through the whole game and run Eddie Davis ragged. The secondary will open up shortly after.
(2) Stay the hell away from Fred Perry
(3) "Pick" Reggie Hunt early and often, with extreme prejudice and maximum violence ... I know he's still gotta be hurting from that train-wreck collision with Jason Clermont last week.
(4) Stay the hell away from Fred Perry
(5) Hand the ball to Blink ... a lot. There's never been any one better than him at making something out of nothing. Funny thing is, Charles Roberts never seems to get enough credit. There's always a Joffrey Reynolds or a Joe Smith who gets all the attention as the "best back in the league." Not in my mind though. Far as I'm concerned, he's the best ever. So, feed him the ball at least 25 times on Sunday.
(6) Stay the hell away from Fred Perry
(7) Get it into Dinwiddie's head that he's not there on Sunday to "win" the game; all he has to do is not "lose" it; his supporting cast and Barrin Simpson will take care of the rest.
(8) And finally, stay the hell away from Fred Perry

HOW to counter these strategies set forth by, gangtackle, who is pretty close to right...the Blink rules are as follows...

(1) Eddie davis doesnt get tired. But in case he should happen to falter, score early and often with long sustained drives, ensuring the D plenty of early rest.
(2) Apparently 'Gang' didnt watch the west final where the doubles on Perry opened seams for Chick, the man with the motor. Tackle Blink.
(3) "Blitz" Reggie Hunt and rely on Lloyd and/or McCulough in coverage.
(4) Stack the line with DBs who can either blitz or drop off into coverage to free Freddy. Tackle Blink.
(5) Nothing we can do about Blink but tackle when the opportunity presents itself. Our front seven has played admirably in the playoffs, stopping JR and JS, keep it up.
(6) Stunt Perry inside, replacing his contain with a linebacker, and create confusion amongst the veteran O-Line of the Bombers. Tackle Blink.
(7) Hit Dinwiddies head through waves of pursuit to make him panic and forget what you are preaching. James Johnson will take care of the rest by virtue of interceptions.
( :slight_smile:and finally tackle Blink, creating lots of 2nd and longs!!!)
