1. Stop the running game and force your opponents to throw when you want them to throw.

2. Harass the quarterback by:

A. Sacking him.

B. Pressuring him.

C. Flushing him from the pocket.

D. Forcing him to pull the ball down.

E. Taking away the inside throwing lanes.

F. Squeezing the pocket and getting into the quarterback's face.

G. Forcing the quarterback to throw a high trajectory ball.

6. Hard work.
