Seattle game will be a good litmus test for our offense

I am not sure how I feel about opening up against one of the leagues best defenses All the questions about Shula, Cam,our OL and wide receivers will be answered on Sunday.

 

Two of the knocks on Cam are finding other receivers not named Steve Smith and his accuracy especially under pressure . Lets hope Cam will show patience and not force the ball which results in turnovers.

 

Shula"s test will likely result from Seattle's run defense. Can Shula shake his reputation from Bama and Tampa and come up with packages creative enough to sustain drives? 

 

Most everyone agrees that out OL appears less than talented enough. Does G-Man know something he is not telling us? Or is this his idea of a bad joke?

 

If Lafell disappears is Rivera smart enough to pull him in favor of Hixon, Ginn, and Edwards? I hope so.

 

Will Steve Smith be ejected for breaking the face of Sherman before the game is over? More than likely

 

If this depressing please remember our defense can win games.

Our biggest problem under Rivera has been slow starts. Seattle is highly regarded across the country as one of the top power house teams. Since it is game 1, Seattle can expose us for what we are. Seattle is a hard hitting hard working team so we will know if Rivera has prepared us for battle this year.

Will we compete this season? While a win or loss won't guarantee a good or bad season I think this game will be a much better gauge of what Shula will bring and what our offense will look like this season.

I actually like it.

Sherman is gonna talk his way into getting burnt like Fred Smoot use to do with Washington... Poor guy ... Smoot never recovered after Smitty burnt his azz and literally broke his ankles.

Sherman isn't Smoot.

at this point, you gotta give Sherman the edge in that matchup.

Smoot was with Minny when he got his soul butt fuged. Jesus Smitty went nuts.

Yeah...lol that was the beginning of the end for Smoot. Steve destroyed and exposed Smoot for talking to much noise.. All signs point to Sherman being that same big mouth corner. He is a better defender but that trash talk is not gonna help him against Smitty.

I don't give any CB the edge against Smitty in this league. The better they are, the better and more angry Smith plays.

The 34 year old version?

Sherman is one of the few I would. Heck, he might be the only one.

Sherman is just a good matchup for Smitty on top of being a top CB.

He is physical and he wants Smitty to get into the extra junk.

Score is Sherman 1, Smith 0.

Sherman couldn't of kept with the 2005 era Smith but that means nothing now

Espescially at 34. He reminds me of an older guy playing pickup basketball. Uses his body way more and pushes people around.'

 

Hey Panthro!

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
