On offense, go deep as often as possible, except for 3rd and long, then run.
On defense, let them run the clock as much as possible, hopefully to tire out the offense? Then, give a young kid making his 1st start this year, as much time as he needs without any real pressure from the front four and no blitzes.

Do I have this about right?
