All we need to do is shut down there passing game. We need to Blitz Warner put pressure make him throw turnovers. We need to play aggressive against them on offense too pounding the ball with Grant / Jackson / Green get them tired and all.

Blitzing Warner is exactly what we shouldn't do.
That says something, coming from me, as I'm Rex Ryan's biggest fan.
Anyway, Warner will pick you apart when you blitz him, but he has the mobility of a statue. The key is getting pressure with 4. He'll force it into tight spaces, he'll throw it up to Fitzgerald.
With Clay going against guard-turned-tackle Jeremy Bridges (A journeyman guard, at that), I like our chances. Brad Jones on Levi Brown is a match-up I like, as well. It's pretty safe to call the man a bust by now and he can't handle agile rusher. Exactly what Jones is.
In short, their tackle situation is as bad as ours was the first half of the season.
We should be able to get to them Warner with 4, 5.
Boldin being out would be a huge plus for us, If he's healthy enough to play then they can run alot of 3 and 4 wr sets which then brings Bush into play. That right there is the scariest part because everyone and their mother knows they will attack Bush.

Breaston on Bush would've been horrible. I loved our match-ups at the start of the season. Harris on Boldin, Woodson on Fitzgerald and Williams on Breaston. Perfect counter group.
Woodson on Fitzgerald is still intact. Williams on Boldin is a questionable match-up, with how physical Boldin is. Bush on Breaston would've been horrible.
I like our chances again, though. I'm carefully optimistic about having Bush on Urban or Doucet. Williams on Breaston is a match-up I like, as well.
That said, I think we're playing a lot of zone, anyway. I can't imagine that we'll go after their receiving corps the way we did in week 17. We where in their face, playing man, leaving Woodson one on one with Fitz half the time.
I would love it if we did, though.
