Two concerning matchups vs Lions

Recommended Posts

Ziggy Ansah vs Matt Kalil - May need to get Matt some help if he struggles with Ziggy early on.

Golden Tate vs Munnerlyn or Shaq Thompson -  Not sure if Munnerlyn is in Rivera's dog house or not but it sure seems like it. Hard to expect Shaq to cover Tate.

Really thinking we may see a lot of zone coverage in this game.

Darius Slay is a really good corner.

He’s lined up against Larry Fitzgerald, Odell Beckham Jr. and Julio Jones. In that time, he’s allowed a catch rate of 58.3% and passer rating of 38.9

I'm not sure if they'll put him on KB or Fun Fun but it could be a tough matchup for either guy.

seriously, what the hell is going on? And we did this against two pass-heavy teams. Not sure how this season has shaped up for Detroit but typically they are another one. I I know they wanted to stop the run but I actually like Capt up around the LOS. He is pretty good at getting in the backfield and getting to the RB or QB.

I wish we had an elite FS and we could just play single high with Shaq and Capt both on the field.

Is Matt Kalil even going to play?

Slay is good but not that big.  He is listed at 6 feet even but looks smaller.  Giving up 5 inches to Funches and Benjamin.  So maybe alot lot of down the field jump balls in this game.   And by 5 inches I don't mean :Eggplant_Emoji_Icon_42x42:, but maybe that to :thinking:

Matt is gaining chemistry with the rest of the oline so he’ll be fine.. & ziggy is not the best de we’ve play’d This season this is just some more pessimistic propaganda.. 

also shaq nor captain are liabilities against slots.. this is also another fabricated narrative..

Hopefully Jarred Davis and Golladay each take one more week coming back but they'll both most likely play.

But Kalil can prove something Sunday, Pats don't really have anyone worth a damn at defensive end but Ziggy is no slouch

Ansah has been "injured" in some form or another since the early goings of last year. He has had a mostly quiet year aside from the Giants game. I'll admit ignorance, I don't know much about Matt Kalil. But unless he is as bad as Ereck "WTF am I doing in the NFL" Flowers, I personally don't expect Ansah to make much of a visible impact on this game.

That being said, if Jarrad Davis is back, then the whole defense takes on another look entirely. Crazy that a rookie MLB has that much impact on the team, but here we are...

Lol Shaq is a huge liability covering WRs in the slot. 

Throw in the fact that we are facing Golden Tate this week it’s even worse.

Not sure what you’ve been watching

    • We all remember 2023, when the Teppers were making the Pro Day rounds.  Then last year, the owner of this restaurant, blocks from Bank of America stadium, sent a message that was received by the Panthers' owner. 😡😠🤬 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/panthers-owner-david-tepper-makes-news-once-again-on-day-1-of-nfl-draft Why would an owner of a restaurant put up a sign of this nature?  Flashback to the Tepper Pro Day tour.  Brace yourselves: THE PRO DAY CIRCUIT,  2023  "THE HORROR." That is Nicole Tepper, all up in the prospect evaluation process with some motherly love and awkward post-hug expressions.  I was like, "What is she doing there?" Here is the lovely owner of the Panthers on the front row among scouts and our head coach at Ohio State's pro day in 2023. MODERN DAY:  APRIL 2025 So, have David and Nicole realized that ownership in the NFL does not make you an evaluator of talent?   Will their egos allow them to let others do their jobs?  Or should we brace ourselves to see their thrones moved to the war room on April 24, preparing for their draft day interventions?  Have they been on the pro day circuit?  Have we tarnished his desktop brass balls?  Did the bartender hurt his feelings?  Did he get the message?  Just because we don't see them, it does not mean they are not there--lurking in the shadows--hugging people and talking to coaches.  Texting stuff. "Dan, take who you want, but that Offensive Guard from Guilford is my third cousin twice removed."   We need to be diligent.  Stay focused.  Keep them away from the brain trust.  Seriously, did they get the message?  What have you heard?  Are we safe? Recently, GM Dan Morgan was asked if the Teppers were involved in the private workouts at BOA.  Morgan refused to answer, but he did stare at the reporter for 43 seconds.  This photo shows Morgan being asked about the Teppers' involvement during a recent presser: According to inside sources, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, made famous by Morgan during his playing days, was recently seen being delivered to Morgan's office shortly after meeting with the Teppers, a meeting that included a power point featuring the Teppers' top 50 prospect list.  Please post any Tepper-related news here.  Hoping there is not any.  
    • TJ Watt is stirring up social media with throwin up a ✌️. Sounds like he either wants out or knows he is out.  So. question is, if the Steelers come calling and offer 21 and TJ Watt for 8, are you biting?
