Arizona's O-line

[CharlottePanther]

Not great but not near as bad a couple seasons back when Kevin Kolb was the QB, that O line was beyond terrible, imagine Byron Bell, now imagine Byron Bell at LT, RT, C, RG and LG, thats how bad. Their O line single handily made Kolb retire from the game, i remember catching a couple Cards games that year and that dude got absloutley wrecked

Veldheer is good and their RT Massie is solid but the interior is their obvious weakness..

[B.BERSIN]

LT - Jared Veldheer  6'8   321lbs

LG - Ted Larsen 6'2    305lbs

C - Lyle Sendlien 6'3   308lbs

RG - Paul Fanaika 6'5    327lbs

RT - Bobby Massie 6'6    316lbs

 

That's a bunch of no-names even compared with ours.

This. They have a solid unit that can protect but not so great at paving for the rush.

Pressure them up the middle and control the edges (which is what we are good at.) advantage us.

[Rise of The Hive]

They are in trouble then.

Veldheer is pretty fuging solid. 

 

I think we can create pressure though.. I see Thomas Davis having a sack or two off a blitz. Im not that worried about Floyd actually.. even though hes their biggest weapon. I just don't know who we will put on Fitz... I see Norman on Floyd. Bene on Fitz? Fitz can still pull some moves on a rookie.

Fitz has had very rough season and I just hope it continues. He's lost a step and always gets the opposing teams best cover back. He's only had two games with 100+ yards receiving and only 2 touchdowns on the year. He's not even a number three receiver in most fantasy leagues.

No doubt he's slowing down. But this is the playoffs.. he still has made big time catches. He has major experience, and him vs a green rookie could have the major first downs they need to sustain a scoring drive. 

 

I just hope we don't have Harper trying to cover John Brown over top.. hoping colin jones and tre boston can shut him out. Hopefully we are in the backfield before a deep pass can be thrown.

Jesus, Lyle Sendlien's been playing forever it seems like. He's got to be pushing 40.

It will take a really good performance for 'zona to beat us. This is the best matchup we could have hoped for to move on the playoffs.

If zona is hoping on long passes to get ahead of us they are in for a rough day.

I can see Star & Short doing big things against their interior OL.
