I'd almost rather put Sneed on him and see if L'Jarius can play a little bully ball with him, knock the shit out of him off the line and make him more tentative.
I don't really want to see anyone trying to stay with Waddle in space - it's not a recipe for success, IMO.
They've gotta get after Tua. The rest is masturbating.

I think this will be the way teams beat them, with an elite DL. I'm just not sure it's how we beat them. They've shored up their OL and I have little faith our DL does better than others have against them. Outside of Jones (they're strong at IOL) we're getting pressure with blitzes and hustle plays caused by sticky coverage. Their scheme gives Tua lots of quick options as well as the explosive stuff.
Out of pure spite I'd bracket Hill (love Spags but I bet he doesn’t), I couldn't stand a loss to him while he goes off for 150 yards. I'd put McDuffie on Waddle. Realistically he's a top 10 WR probably and he's going to give whoever we put on him fits. But I think it's a worse match up for Sneed.
I just want to give Tua enough doubt about the option of those 2 for him to target Gesicki and Sherfield. They'll still put up numbers but I can't see another option.
They're the only team I'm not mad keen on facing because nobody's worked them out yet. I'm kinda hoping Bills crack them given they'll need to. I'd much rather face the Bills.
I can't think of anything the media would like more than seeing Reek's Fins beat us.
