Lest we forget that SP was a sponge in his time with Parcels. He has Demonstrated that he knows how to play small ball. And in these last 4 weeks he has done it beautifully. Let’s hope today he paints his masterpiece
Small Ball typically boils down to effort and timing. Taking what is given and being aggressive at the right time. Putting guys in the proper position to succeed. Momentum and field position are crucial in these types of games. We have had a few bungles on play calls that could have cost us over the last month but for the most part, Payton has done a wonderful job of managing these type of games and keeping the boys focused and making the plays to close out games.
That being said, I truly believe that we are going to go into this game with a statement to make. We may not need a lot of small ball this week, could be a real ground and pound, beat em up type of game.
