Defusing him starts with limiting his options. The Broncos must generate pressure, but it has to be prudent in nature; they can't simply fly off the edge, because then Wilson can squirt past the inside shoulders of the edge rusher and offensive tackle and take off for a lengthy gain.
"We might have to play the slow game with Russell," outside linebacker Shane Ray said. "We might have to pin him up there [in the pocket] for a while, and then -- boom -- maybe in the third or fourth quarter, then we start getting some snaps or some pressures."
"You've got to have extreme discipline," inside linebacker Brandon Marshall said. " coverage, we're going to have to cover a long time. Hopefully the rushers will get to him -- and I think they will -- but we've got to cover well and when he scrambles, we've got to try to get him down. He's fast. He's quick. So it's going to be a tough challenge for us.
