The front 4 of Detroit are awesome, the niners need to tire them out and negate the pass rush. This all starts with the 4th rounder hunter who is fast enough to run to the outside.
1. Run several running plays with Hunter sweeping left and right. This will get Suh, Farley running sideline to sideline tiring them out a little.
2. Run a reverse to make them change directions multiple times.
3. Throw screen passes to hunter/Gore.
4. Have a quick read outlet for Alex where he can dump it off for minimal gain and hope for YAC.

Well...they rotate their D-Linemen and use about 9 of them, so they aren't likely to tire out.

Harbaugh needs to wear a suit to dazzle them.

The past 6 quarters Alex has been quick and decisive. As long as that continues (it seems like the plays are starting to click) it will help negate the pass rush. Not to mention how impressive Snyder has been. I believe we have been one of the best teams at game planning this season and will take advantage of their weaknesses.

go no huddle on top of all that so they can't keep subbing all those lineman.

I like this idea, especially in crunch time....but doing this would tell me that Gore is not in the package. Not sure if you guys notice but Gore calls for subs a lot.

On Offense:
1) Alot of 3-step drops to get the ball out quickly
2) Alot of motion to find mis-matches. Especially with Davis and Walker.
3) Roll Alex out
4) RB draws
5) Spread the defense out with 3 WR sets or 2/3 TE sets so they can't stack the box. Use abnormal formations which Harbaugh is good at.
6) Very Important......."False Start" penalties.....we really need to watch these. Bears had an issue with this Monday and killed drives/field position for them.
On Defense:
1) Try to generate a pass rush with 4....occasionally sending 5 or 6 to keep them on their feet. Even if we don't sack him, but if we can close the pocket fast, thats success.
2) When CJ is on the field, keep a safety deep and MAKE SURE to stay in front of him. Not really to worried about the other WR's on the team

How did Dallas attack the Lions and how did they get their points?
