so i'm really looking forward to this. These guys have a lot of history going against each other. They always went head to head in high school and college practices. How do you guys think this match up goes? i don't see michael making some blocks and hardy making some good plays i feel like one man will dominate the other the whole game knowing each others tendencies throughout the years. Will it be like when gross faced peppers for the first time? Gross pretty much washed him out and i consider both HOF caliber players. I know peppers had a pick but yeah pickles was under center.

I suspect we give him some help.  I also think Oher continues his season of solid play.   Biggest issue likely will be if Cam tries to extend a play too long.  Dallas likely to athletic on the line for Cam to get away w/ some of his stuff.

Hardy will likely have a big day regardless of what we do. Dude is way too familiar with our offense and his opponent in Oher not to be. I expect him to be calling out all of our plays pre snap in this one.

Spoiler: We still win

I don't feel like he knows too much about our plays TBH...

I agree here. A lot has been made about how the offense is run more by Cam. Shula has said they couldn't get that installed until late last season due to all the surgeries/injuries to Newton. With Hardy having the year off, how much of that did he actually see?

I'm not sure why it seems like so many people think Hardy is so familiar with our offense.  He's not.  He'd be more familiar with opposing NFC South offenses that he was actually preparing to face twice a season while in Carolina.  The Carolina offense was the one he was least concerned with as a Panther because it was the one offense he definitely wasn't going to face on the field.

its not like he was hanging out with the team during practices or going to games. dude skipped out and went to a strip club when he first found out he was deactivated rather than staying with the team.

he's only aware of himself. he might have a solid play or two, but beyond that i'm not worried. neither greg hardy nor tony romo is going to decide this game. both will be shut down for the most part.

That's a pretty ridiculous statement considering  he played against our first team offense for like 5 years.

Four years I think.  I don't think he practiced with us last year, except perhaps in preseason. 

I am not all that worried about him knowing or not knowing the playbook.  Players move around all the time, so I am sure the teams prepare for this.  Godfrey played for Atlanta last year and probably knew our plays as well as anyone, yet it did him and them no good whatsoever.  Knowing player tendencies, especially our offensive linemen might be of greater benefit.  But then the reverse is also true in that our offensive linemen know his tendencies.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
