Jackson's real headaches come in two ways these days -- 1) Up the chute when he sees a quick opening in the A gap (sometimes B gap) and just bursts through the middle and now you have guys who have lost their angles almost immediately. Those are 40 yarders waiting to happen. Or 2) The scramble drill shit that he's gotten annoyingly good at. He does get sideways and backwards in ways that allow him to buy time and hit open receivers when the back end falters.
If the wind takes away 2, gap discipline designed to stop Henry should bottle up 1. That leaves him with, what, speed option shit?
Pft - go right ahead.
I just don't know that it matters. I don't think stopping 1 is a realistic possibility for Buffalo because they just don't have the personnel to do it. I could see Baltimore doing to them what they did to Denver last week and just shoving them around the field.

I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying I don't see the Bills garbage run defense doing it.
