I think Fangio is the type of coordinator that is frothing at the mouth to put Stafford on his ass early and often. Stafford doesn't have the rep of being the most durable quarterback. And like you said, he doesn't have alot of experience with different looks, which Harbaugh and Fangio I'm sure are planning to exploit.

The detroit rb's are not the best pass protectors. I expect us to exploit that.

I honestly can't see other than maybe our o-line, any glaring weaknesses the Lions can exploit.

Yeah but at the same time I like what we've done so far which pretty much has been letting the front 7 push through without sending the whole kitchen sink at them. Because when you do send a huge blitz guys like Stafford have too many options to dump it off quickly. However, we have been lucky that that has been all it has taken to pressure them, if their o-line is really good we may have to try different things.

Too tall... playing the line is all about leverage. The lowest man wins.

I don't know if they are really good, but they have a lot of experience. There are a couple of guys on that line that have been in the league more than a decade, so it might be hard to fool them.

This, cuz we keep deferring.

Getting the ball back after halftime is always smart.

Thats a pretty big one though. I also think they will try to do what they have done all year. Just throw it up and let them go get it. Our secondary isnt really that big and Whitner is only about 5`10. I see them trying to get CJ matched up against Whitner whenever possible. If we double CJ then we will likely play over/under with the CB and safety. The saftey of course being the last line of defense. I see them targeting Whitner all game long and picking on him. This might be a good week to play Goldson and Smith at safety. Whitner is more of an in the box safety and Det isnt much of a running team. Dont be surprised if Whitner doesnt play as much this week.
