Beason to start and Munnerlyn to play #2

[rayzor]

Scheme wise, sure. Munnerlyn vs Williams? LOL

i don't think we'll see that enough to really threaten the game or be much of a problem.

VJax must be double teamed and taken out of the game. Just totally eliminate an option for Freeman. Our LBs can control the middle and the run game.

[bleys]

We shall see... their OL at least needs to be average this year, if so Munn 1on1 with Williams and try to double VJax IF that run 1st, set up the pass turns out effective...

Nothing to sneeze at in that scenario... Obviously we'll find out on Sunday.

Hard not to be excited about Beason starting. I know it gets me ready to see our defense!

Not really worried Captain is starting.

This is nothing new.

Please let Beason be healthy this year.

I do not want to witness him go down in a heap or come up lame in the opener again.

exactly. the front 7 being upgraded makes me feel better about this.

Munnerlyn getting burned is also nothing new. Just sayin

May CJ and the Edwards wall get push into the pocket consistently to make Freeman scramble or make quick throws. That line will be Munnerlyn's best help.

Giants probably didn't think they would lose bc of the Ogletree Romo connection. I mean if you were game planning against this D....would you not put a heavy emphasis on the Williams/Captain matchup. Hope to find a way to get VJ on Captain in a dream scenario?

Giants probably didn't think Cruz would forget how to catch either.

Two predictions for the upcoming game and days following:

1) One of our linebackers will get a pick on Sunday. All 3 have the ability, provided we can get occasional pressure from the DL.

2) On Tuesday or Wednesday, we will sign a vet CB, and move Campbell (the safety, not the OT) to the practice squad.

Basically some person(s) think last year's Mike Williams is guaranteed to show up this year aside from him supposedly having a good camp and coming back in great condition compared to last year...

Assuming they get a run game going (yes I think we should be able to stop it, yet to be seen this year), means the defense will be facing a lot of playaction since the wideouts will face single coverage. I'd like to think Gamble could handle his own against VJax but that could be a pipe dream vs his size/speed. Rolling coverage to him leaves Munnerlyn 1on1 with Williams and no one should feel good about that scenario. Consistently moving the chains leads to points.

What I depend on Rivera/McDemott to do is find a way to keep that run game from happening, if anything. Then they can get cute with various schemes in pass coverage...

Obviously Shiano's goal of run 1st has to be effective. I like our chances but the thought running around that Munny can handle Williams 1on1 is not going to happen.

A lot of situational talk there, but that's why they play the game.

Wouldn't be surprised if TB opened the game up with a play action deep pass to VJax. All this talk of pounding the ball and a 6'5 man child at Wideout...I hope captain brings a jet pack to get up there

this isn't foxball. we'll adjust/adapt.
