We Found Him

The one guy outside the NovaCare complex who will agree with our offensive coaching staff:

Madden: Birds must come out throwing

“Offensively you have to go for points,” Madden said. “You’re not going to play one of those games where you do ball control, you play good defense, use your special teams and play for good field position and all of those things. The decisions you’re going to make during the game have to help you score 40 points.

“I think that means a lot of throwing. I think that means a lot of throwing on first and second down because you have to get yardage in big chunks. That means getting first downs. That means when you get down there in the red zone — and I’m not a big guy for going for it on fourth down — but I think you have to go for it on fourth down because you have to get touchdowns instead of field goals. It has to be a very, very aggressive approach because offensively, they’re going to take a very, very aggressive approach to you.
