Keys to this game are:

1) How much have we improved on edge defense? Can't let guys like Samuel get to the edge, or its going to be a long day.

2) Find a way to consistently keep Barrett in the pocket and wrap that kid up. Easier said than done, and he's going to find at least some yards whether we like it or not. The trick will be containing it on a consistent basis. I've watched him play on and off this year, and there are few things more aggravating than watching their OL collapse, 2-3 D-Linemen seem like they're going to bury Barrett for a 6-7 yard sack, and he somehow, someway, escapes a sack and picks up 18 yards and a first down. Talk about a frickin' momentum killer. 

If we can do that, and somehow get lucky with Speight being able to play, we've got a shot. If we can't contain Barrett, and if we have to turn to O'Korn, we could easily lose by three TDs.

To be honest, I think he's become a little predictable as of late.

He's got to show blitz and drop 7 more and show prevent and disguise his blitz more.

Jabrill is rarely getting home like he was earlier in the year. He wanders out in no man's land too often. It's like the play calls for him to blitz, but he sees he can't hit home so he just spies the QB instead.

I'd like to see more creativity and Brown become a little more unpredictable on Saturday. He's got to self-scout and come off of some of his tendencies.

Overload one side with a blitz and drop a DE off into a passing lane. I don't know...but shoving 6 guys at the line presnap and sending them all isn't working anymore.

Run that "OKIE" play Mattison used to always run where we'd show 7-8 guys blitzing and only rush 3 and the OL never knew who was coming and who wasn't.

ANYTHING. Just switch it up!
