Tempo

[mazda1]

The thing that scares me most about Indiana is their offensive tempo. We're a bit banged up on the d line and I expect a drop off if we have to have more subs to stay fresh. We've shown we can give up big plays if tempo starts to work against us.

Imo our best defense against it will be our ability to run the football. CJ's health is a concern, but I' m more worried about responding to the tempo.

We've played a number of "tempo" teams this year.

Tempo just leads to shorter possessions if you cannot convert points. Thankfully the Hawks have been able to control field position and be stingy in the red zone.

Hopefully we'll see more of the same.
