What exactly did Caldwell do last week that prevented Allen from hitting the QB?

We sure as heck are not going to blitz more when they have a top 3 RB in the NFL.

He rushed with his base four and kept the linebackers away from the LOS. Cited this a few times all over the place on the forum.

Very vanilla approach defensively. In obvious passing situations they can shift/stack one side of the LOS to give Allen an opportunity to get away from a free blocker.

This is the game to do it. It's Matt Ryan. Not Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen.

You can still blitz and not get burned on the ground. Fully expect screen efforts made in this one and I fully expect Walker to be looking for another INT.

To sit back though and let Ryan have all day to throw it would be a massive error. You're going to have to bring some stunts and overstack.

Reich's going to be aggressive early. Just a feeling. Especially on 1st down. Caldwell has to be ready for it. Fatukasi, Oluokon and Lloyd should be swarming to Taylor. They still need to do some things scheme wise with Allen and Walker though.

Again, base four could not cut it against Wentz and Ryan is not going to break tackles and then run downfield and break ankles. You have to get after him and you have to put him on his [BLEEP].
