And quicker out of the gate.
Exactly. I don't have much data other than 30 years of watching football, but I would like an extremely aggressive game plan early.

I feel like grinding in and trying to establish the run early is less effective in a game like this because that style favors an injury plagued defense who will be on home turf and hyped out of their mind.

I think all the adrenaline works against you when you are a DB all alone in coverage on some deep shots.

Kind of like I want the deeper shots to open up the run just like Chicago found success at.

Makes me worry a bit about that field. It's grass, right?

Historically the turf has been very shallow rooted and comes up easily making footing bad on cuts. We will have to watch the first few plays to see how it is anchored.
