Make him throw the ball instead of run the ball. Make him have to make decisions. Keep everything in front of you so they have to drive the field. Once they are in the red zone, make em settle for field goals.

We do this, we win. We don't, we lose.

I agree with this

generally speaking, but the thing that makes Manziel so tough is that he isn't Matt Jones-ing it out there, he can really throw it from the pocket. He is 2nd in the conference in passing yards per game in SEC games. His passer rating is above both Tyler Russell and Bo Wallace in SEC games. Anyway, he's not Cam Newton, but he's probably the second-best true dual threat QB in the SEC in the last 5+ years. All that said, I agree you want to make them dink and dunk, not get up there and challenge them in tight man, bump and run all day.
