Week 1 - Cats vs Seachickens GAME THREAD - prediction and disco
Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2019 9:15 am
So many question marks going into Week 1. I'll just start right off and predict the loss. Maybe its close because the Seahawks are in week 1 as well and may have issues of their own. But they have a nasty home crowd, a new DE in Clowney, and seasoned star at QB and seemingly enough weapons to get the job done.
On our side of the field we have chaos from top to bottom. Our #1 LT is out until December. Our replacement LT, who was supposed to be our #1 LG is now in concussion protocol for an unusually long 4 weeks and likely wont play. Our new backup LT is a recycled Fat Albert who will be going against Clowney all day. Our LG was just cut and resigned. Our center is not new, but new as the starter. And the right side of our line.....lets just not go there.
Our running back situation is ok, our WR situation is not. Ross is supposedly running full go and will likely play some. Andy was quoted as saying Ross looks really fast. We'll see. Beyond that its the Tyler Boyd and Alex Erickson show. Oh....we have Eiffert now! That will fix everything, right?
Defensively about the only thing we can hope for is a sack on every play. Once anyone makes it behind our Dline its a touchdown. I think we either have to win by a shutout or we lose every game by 100 points. Needless to say, I am underwhelmed by our LB situation and secondary.
So it really comes down to coaching. What can the Zac-Attack do with all of this chaos. Did he come from LA with a hat full of rabbits? Is Lou about to invent a new defensive scheme using 8 DLineman and 3 safeties?? I'm hopeful that at the end of this game I can look back at a team that has some interesting possibilities, a lot of scrappy play, few mental errors and finds a way to put points on the board. A 17-13 loss here would actually be a bright outlook for me headed into Week2.
So where do you stand, what are your concerns, what are you watching for? Welcome to 2019 football!
