Huddle prediction: who will win and why....

Recommended Posts

On this Labor day and the premier of "Houdini"on History channel tonight. let's see what kind of magicians and soothsayers we have here in the Huddle. Most on here know this team very well...it's strengths and its weakness on both sides of the ball. Playing a retooled Bucs away won't be easy. What will the final score be...and give a comment on how YOU think the offense and defense will do. This team has not won an opening season game in many moons.....can they do it in 2014?

We will win because we have a better coach and better players at every position except Safety and one of the Guards (probably, not going to anoint Turner or Amini over old man Mankins yet).  I think the offense will start off slow, one TD in the first half due to a short field and we'll all have our panties in a twist and then they'll open it up and play well in the second half.  The defense will dominate from the kickoff allowing one field goal in the first half and a garbage time TD.  Final score: 24-10.

 

edit to add score.

I see a loss due to an offense that isn't clicking right away, injuries, dwill taking his usual 3-4 games to get started, stew getting injured, and history. I see the defense still doing well and not allowing more than 21 points of not less so I don't think it will be a blowout. At the end of the day I feel special teams and a bad online is going to be the blame for the loss.

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
