The trick, it seems to me, is making it so they only do one thing well and everything else poorly. I'm not an X and Os guy, but conceptually, I don't think I care much about Jackson getting his 80 to 100 yards if the Patriots close down the other stuff well. The fear is if they compromise in more than one area and play only average in them. If the plan is to contain Jackson, commit, and do it, and take your medicine. If the plan is to take their chances with him but stop the other things, commit. It's going to be hard to stop him, and Ingram, out of a 3-4 anyway. Play your traditional defense and make them one-dimensional with Jackson, and then hope that having speed on the field keeps him from going crazy.
Seems to me that the stat that is going to tell the story of the game when it's over -- barring a lopsided turnover margin -- will be how the Ravens did on third (and fourth if applicable) downs. Jackson is going to pick up a few and keep the chains moving all by himself, probably no matter what defense the Patriots try to play. But try to make it one dimensional so you have options in the second half after the game declares itself.
