Strategy:
- Do not let Cam extend drives with his legs. CAR will run him on any down and are happy to pick up only 3-5 yards with him to make for easy 3rd downs.
- Kelvin (6'5" 245) and Funchess (6'4" 225) are two very big boys. Then you have Ginn and Philly Brown who are the opposite. Need to get to Cam.
- No turnovers on offense and need at least 6 extended drives.
Kelvins gonna get his in this game. I am starting to think we match up pretty well against them. Ray Ray will have to play huge cause Olsen is the primary threat to shut down. I expect Robinson on Benjamin in Nickle. Ward on Ginn. Brock on Funchess. Should be a much better game than what Vegas thinks.
I don't know. I think we are going to be sluggish and tired. Have a feeling our defense will be looking at each other a lot. Hope they don't lose hope and understand that our team is just in a difficult situation to turn this around.
Another factor nobody is thinking about is players are going to be the most sore after week 1 than any other week since their bodies are still adjusting to playing and hitting full speed. CAR players will most likely be fully recovered by Friday whereas we probably won't be fully recovered until Monday...if we didn't have a game.
The slowness and recovery time alone will affect our play negatively. Imagine if you just did a body crushing workout. Your body is so sore 3 days later but you also need to do another competitive workout against other guys who rested a full week and a half. No way you would be at your best.
. If we can get to Cam a few times early in the game he might go into pouty meltdown mode... that's our best chance at winnning.
