Key Matchup: Van Roten vs. Donald

[MHS831]

Look for Wade Phillips to exploit this mismatch.  However, the Panthers SURELY have a plan to help VR.  I expect to see a lot of Manhertz beside Williams (so Williams can block down) or I expect to see Armah in the backfield with only one job--taking the first blue helmet that emerges from the OL left.

Manhertz makes the most sense, but we shall see how they deal with it---hopefully Ron had flashbacks of Von Miller in Super Bowl 50 eating Remmer's lunch this week and realizes that you cannot ignore a mismatch up front. 

On the other hand, a solid run game and quick passes are the key for the offense.

Nobody has talked about this much--i have simply said our LG situation bothers me more than LT---Van Roten is key to our success today if left one-on-one with the Don.

I am very worried about pressure up the middle. Norv needs to get the ball out of Cam's hands quick.

This is gonna be hard to watch.

The heat is going to slow down Donald.  He won't be able to sustain his intensity after chasing Cam around.

Yikes

Hoping he won't be able to go 100% all game in this heat.

And this is exactly why im not giving this staff a pass if this cost us in the long run. How do you go threw the entire off season and dont think LG needs to be upgraded?  Van roten is a legit backup has no business starting in the league and oh wait you play the best damn interior linemen in the league week one. Wade Phillips lined up von miller on remmers in the superbowl for a reason.  Expect the see same today, this coaching staff is just unbelievable.

If VR goes one on one vs Donald Cam better be getting rid of the ball quickly. Need to run the ball right at him, negates his speed.

More like the key matchup is Van Roten and whatever other lineman that will be helping him every snap vs. Donald

He should never have a 1 on 1 battle with Donald

Aaron donald vs anyone single coverage is a mismatch.
