    8 in the box, here we come.

      So beat them deep until they back off. So goes the chess match.

        Exactly.

        The deep threat is important when you have a run-heavy offense. Tyrod Taylor can throw the deep ball very well...we've all seen it.

          Yes - if you can do it. The 8 - 3 is essentially a 3 down linemen set, with 5 others standing up and confusing the QB as to who is covering who, or who will stay home, who will rush the QB and make him pass too quickly? Will some of the 5 drop back and jump routes? Will the CBs press the WRs at the LOS? How good are one's WRs at beating that immediate press?

          JMO, when your opponent starts playing 8 in the box against you have either a run game that irks them, you have decided that said run game is what you choose to feature, or you have a passing attack and pass protection that doesn't particularly strike fear in them.

          As you say - chess match.

                  I don't think they have the players or game management skills to do that.

                    Game management issues yes. Personnel. They have that. That's why Rex gets labeled as a poor head coach. He doesn't use the talent he has.

                      If they can't throw short, can't throw long, can't run inside, and can't run outside, then the only thing left to do is wait for hockey season.
