I disagree with you.  I think that he's going to pick us apart no matter what because he's really good and we haven't shown the ability to stop a competent pass offense in quite some time especially on the road.  I think that the only thing blitzing him heavily is going to do is potentially turn modest gains into touchdowns.  Our key to stopping this team is going to be red zone stops and turnovers.  Stopping the run will be paramount because we have to limit at least one dimension.  We'll have to mix our coverages to try to disturb his rhythm and certainly we'll blitz here and there but blitzing won't be some cure-all.  Once Fisher gets hip to the fact that we're bringing a lot of pressure he's going to identify the mismatches in the middle of the field (they are there in abundance) and crush us.

There's no scheme that's going to prevent "bending."  We can blitz all day--you think that'll stop these guys from moving the ball (ie us bending)?
