Defensive challenge first four games of 2014

[iamhubby1]

I know that folks are disappointed with Hardy. But...let's not suspend him before due process is over. Too many folks have him gone already. Their frustration is clouding their judgment. Ah well, this is the Huddlez after all. Let the knee jerk over reacting begin.

Hellz, if, when he and JR sit down and talk about this. Hardy may just sweet talk his way into a long term deal. JR loves to back his guys. If he trusts them that is.

From what I have been reading he won't get that jury trial until early 2015.....doesn't happen over night. He was convicted and the Commish will want to make a statement (along with Rice).....no way they are waiting that long.

Players can't be punished until convicted, Hardy is still going though the process.

Not worried about the defense, Addison/ealy can help pick up the slack. Lets just hope we can get the offense on track

[PanthersAlv]

I am not very worried about the defense. I don't see Hardy being suspended by anyone until the whole situation is completely over. He'll play. He might even be more focused. which could be trouble for other teams.

 

Addison I think will be fine as a backup as well. With Ealy in on rotations and such. I don't see that big a fall off. Especially with the interior of the Dline coming in with more knowledge and a year under their belts. Vets in the secondary for the most part, and our LB's... I think we'll be ok there.

What rock have you been living under? Goodwill has suspended many players before a trial or conviction.

There is a very real possibility that either the Panthers or the nfl suspend Hardy for a portion if the season.

I don't believe they will. per NFLPA issues and such. Not to mention if the jury comes back saying he's not guilty, and they have already suspended him, that's money out of his pocket that the NFL will have to deal with with lawsuits I'm sure.

I'm nto saying it's right or wrong... but, I don't see anything happening until the court case is over.

 

but that's just me I guess.

i won't be too much concerned about the Bucs and Steelers offense.

What's next? The Salvation Army does the next CBA?

I wouldn't call that a murderers row of games. It does feature zero teams that finished above .500. With the Bucs specifically, they are debuting a new coach/system/QB so I would think they might be at more of a disadvantage than we will. A lot is going to hinge on how quickly the new units gel for us for those first four games.

Phew that Lion offense could be scary. Megatron, Bush, Golden Tate and add Ebron.

Better get to Stafford in a hurry.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Yeah the Lion's offense is the only one that scares me in that stretch. Though the Bucs might if Glennon gets time in the pocket.

glennon's been dethroned by the new regime. mccown is the starting qb.

Bucs- New QB, new Head Coach, new system....their recieving core is scary, VJax is a stud and Mike Evans was a beast in college, along with their new giant TE, they will pose some problems, however i feel being the fist game of the season for the QB and head coach our defense is just too much for Josh McKown who i feel was more a product of the system in Chicago...the offense cant come out and lay an egg though, Lovie knows defense, we cant fall behind early.

 

Lions- i will admit im scared to see what megatron does. I feel this is the game that most concerns me early. Getting pressure on stafford will be HUGGGE! we cant let him sit back there and dish it to calvin and ebron. Their defense doesnt really concern me, Kahil and the interior oline will have to have a big day on Suh but as far as the secondary goes hopefully kelvin has a coming out party

 

Steelers-the biggest thing im worried about here is getting thrown out the game for talking poo to the idiotic yellow towel waivers that are sure to infest the Bank. Antonio brown is a stud, but other than that i dont see much to worry about. They will prbly try to establish the run with Bell and Blount  but our dfence shut down better backfields! Big ben will have to make some magic happen to avoid playing from his back the whole game. Dont let antonio get behind our secondary and contain the run

 

Ravens- Smitty will be fired the fug up to thrash us, but lets be honest i dont see him lighting up the scoreboard or running free past any of our guys! jacoby jones is a speedster and torrey smith is solid but once again neither one jumps out at me and says we should worry! Flacco got his big money and laid anaegg last year! once again defensive pressure will ruin him, i expect a repeat of last years preseason game when it counts this year! no revenge for smitty! maybe some blood for the fight he will no doubt casue, but much love to smitty i will be in Balitmore to see him one last time!

 

Just a few thoughts on each game, i really hope we start fast this year and dont get down early! i see us coming out of this stretch 3-1, with detroit being the only snag but who knows at this point, i feel we have a better recieiving core all around tthan last year and the secondary, imo, is a bit better if not on the same level as last year! im really interested to see what Goddfrey can bring to the CB position

[FearTheCats]

I don't see Hardy getting a suspension until after the jury trial. It's not entirely impossible we have him for 16 games let him walk and then whatever chump gets him will have him suspended some games next season.

This times 1000.
