Two concerning matchups vs Lions

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. 

Quote

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

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
