Two concerning matchups vs Lions

Recommended Posts

Ziggy Ansah vs Matt Kalil - May need to get Matt some help if he struggles with Ziggy early on.

Golden Tate vs Munnerlyn or Shaq Thompson -  Not sure if Munnerlyn is in Rivera's dog house or not but it sure seems like it. Hard to expect Shaq to cover Tate.

Really thinking we may see a lot of zone coverage in this game.

Darius Slay is a really good corner.

He’s lined up against Larry Fitzgerald, Odell Beckham Jr. and Julio Jones. In that time, he’s allowed a catch rate of 58.3% and passer rating of 38.9

I'm not sure if they'll put him on KB or Fun Fun but it could be a tough matchup for either guy.

seriously, what the hell is going on? And we did this against two pass-heavy teams. Not sure how this season has shaped up for Detroit but typically they are another one. I I know they wanted to stop the run but I actually like Capt up around the LOS. He is pretty good at getting in the backfield and getting to the RB or QB.

I wish we had an elite FS and we could just play single high with Shaq and Capt both on the field.

Is Matt Kalil even going to play?

Slay is good but not that big.  He is listed at 6 feet even but looks smaller.  Giving up 5 inches to Funches and Benjamin.  So maybe alot lot of down the field jump balls in this game.   And by 5 inches I don't mean :Eggplant_Emoji_Icon_42x42:, but maybe that to :thinking:

Matt is gaining chemistry with the rest of the oline so he’ll be fine.. & ziggy is not the best de we’ve play’d This season this is just some more pessimistic propaganda.. 

also shaq nor captain are liabilities against slots.. this is also another fabricated narrative..

Hopefully Jarred Davis and Golladay each take one more week coming back but they'll both most likely play.

But Kalil can prove something Sunday, Pats don't really have anyone worth a damn at defensive end but Ziggy is no slouch

Ansah has been "injured" in some form or another since the early goings of last year. He has had a mostly quiet year aside from the Giants game. I'll admit ignorance, I don't know much about Matt Kalil. But unless he is as bad as Ereck "WTF am I doing in the NFL" Flowers, I personally don't expect Ansah to make much of a visible impact on this game.

That being said, if Jarrad Davis is back, then the whole defense takes on another look entirely. Crazy that a rookie MLB has that much impact on the team, but here we are...

Lol Shaq is a huge liability covering WRs in the slot. 

Throw in the fact that we are facing Golden Tate this week it’s even worse.

Not sure what you’ve been watching

    • They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.   
    • There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
    • I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
