As something to talk about other than the same old poo for the most part, what are some matchups you're most interested in seeing?  (this was inspired by me reading somewhere, I forget where, that "the Kalil brothers were going head to head" this week or something to that effect and me getting annoyed all over again by stupid media saying stupid things like two offensive players, whether they be two QBs, two OL, etc., go head to head).

 

Most interested

Luke Kuechly vs Adrian Peterson

 

Most feared

Jared Allen vs Bell (depends on where they line Allen up at)

 

Great expectations

Cam vs Vikes' secondary

Panthers offense versus Vikings Defense -  Given our OL woes, what will Shula dial up this week to get some points on the board? I hope he has some creative quick routes dialed up because I think the Vikings will be bring a pass rush. I hope Dwill and Tolbert wear their big boy pants because we need a running game .

You would expect Allen to line up with Bell most of the time because the Vikings will watch the tape and see that he is the weakest link.  Basically we are going to have to give Bell some help in the scheme, which may make us more predictable on offense.

 

I think we have the personnel and scheme on defense to limit AP.  I doubt they will go away from the run game even if they get down a TD to us.  As long as they keep it close, they will have a shot in the fourth quarter.  Everybody knows that.

 

Cam will need to have excellent pocket awareness in this game.  Hopefully, they will design some more check down plays for him in certain situations.  AZ had excellent DBs who held their coverage so that Cam had to hold up the ball.  Minn. isn't nearly as good at CB, so hopefully receivers will get open.  I expect Smitty to have a bounce back game and Ginn will likely be open deep.

 

Of course, it has been said many times, but Cam has to have early success running the ball (any combination of scrambles, keepers, options, dives, whatever).  This will keep Allen at bay and open up everything else.  I would love to see a game where we have more rushing yards than the Vikes.  Do it.

gregg cossell said that we should pretty much just scheme against ADP and allow ourselves to be overaggressive on defense.

 

one thing that might be a contributor to the game is what peterson is going through right now...

RT @ProFootballTalk: Source confirms Adrian Peterson is dealing with "tragic" personal situation in South Dakota bit.ly/16UUQMF

following that link

 

The source declined to share any further details, explaining that it’s a subject Peterson will address at the appropriate time.

 

On Thursday, Stu Whitney of the Argus (S.D.) Leader reported that Peterson remains in Sioux Falls, “dealing with [a] medical issue involving [a] young family member that likely will be a police matter” and that it is a “very serious” health situation.

 

No further details are currently available.  Multiple tipsters have suggested a possible link to news of a Sioux Falls toddler being in critical condition, and a man named Robert Joseph Patterson charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery of an infant.

 

my initial thought after feeling bad for the family and hoping it's not child abuse related is that we don't tend to do well against teams going through traumatic stuff.

What happens when the make adjustments at half time to slow him down like Arizona did?

 

we dig out heels in the ground and stick to our guns, right?

 

we aren't going to let some team dictate what we do just because what they are doing works.

 

we'll show them they can't make us change.

 

oye.

I expect Jared Allen to eat Byron Bell for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Bell is no match for the mullet. 

 

Kinda like Marshawn Lynch was going to run over our D. If Allen was gobbling up O linemen this year maybe they would not be 1-3 .

      fuggin can't wait for the game!

      By rayzor · Posted

      Can i just say I'm excited about this game in a way I haven't been for years.... I think it's going to be a fight all the way through. Bengals are a good team with a killer offense that everyone knows shouldn't be looking for their first win and you know they've got to be hungry. But I think we're a pack of hungry dawgs who just got a taste for blood and want some more. More than that, I think they love their coach and their big red dawg and will fight extra hard not to disappoint them. I think they've pulled together as a pack and won't back down. Will we win? I sure hope so and I think we've got an excellent chance. But, win or lose, I think we've got a fight and pride in us that hasn't been here in a long time. Let's fuggin go.

      This post literally proves what I've been saying about him and what you seem to just gloss over and ignore while saying it's a feather into his cap for his draft status. Him being a 2 way player has ZERO standing on his NFL draft prospects, as he will NOT be a full time 2 way player in the NFL, if that was even reasonably feasible, it would change things, but it's not.  If he enters the draft as a CB, then sure, it gives him a slight boost because a team could look at him as someone they could give 10-15 snaps on offense a game as a gadget player.  But his college 2 way game has less than zero impact on his NFL draft prospects as a full time WR. You can't seem to separate college impact from NFL draft prospects, they're literally 2 entirely different things, and if you can't acknowledge or understand that, then this conversation is just absurdly pointless anyways. And the comparisons have nothing to do with their game itself, just impact at each level. The Bush comparison is about his college vs NFL impact.  Bush was a complete generational collegiate talent, there's been few like him with how he could take over a game, but he was just a solid NFL player with moments of greatness. Woodson was a generational collegiate talent who also could take over games, in a manner much more similar to Hunter, but his game translated to being a 1st baller HOFer.  Which is why I say he's more Bush than Woodson, both game changers in college, but only one was also a generational NFL talent in the end. And again I have to clarify, none of this is saying he's going to be a bust or not even a 1st round talent.  It's all as to why I rank him below TWO players in the draft next year if he were to decide to play WR.  But you seem to think I'm saying he shouldn't be going until the 5th round or something with how you think I attack him.
