Got 2 leagues, Mahomes in one (2-0) & Wentz in the other (1-1).

I will say this, Allen would be my starter until he had a bad game over Jones, Randolph, & Newton. He gets plenty of chance to run the ball, and for fantasy a QB who has legs is going to offset any INTs faster than a stationary in the pocket guy.

Real talk who here thinks Rocker and Weinke won’t be here next year? They didn’t get extended like Nieds, and this is the last year of their contracts along with YAC.

Weinke I think might stay put, unless an OC gig comes calling I think he wants to establish himself a bit more as a QB coach.

Rocker is most likely the one to leave of the 3....although YAC has already had people coming after him, so he might get poached.... I mean the dude has made each group he's coached look better than they were the year prior.

As a team we had 1275 receiving yards to WR group in 2017, YAC comes in and in 2018 it's 1818 with worse line play.
As a team we had 1579 rushing yards by RBs in 2018, YAC has taken over and after 3 games we're at 467 already with a higher YPC for each RB so far.

Could see them all moving along. Nieds is less likely, but he might get a big bump to move somewhere else.

Depends on how this season goes, I think.

Started Cam the first 2 weeks only to watch him look like the same injured guy from last year. Allen will get the start from here on out.

I honestly believe that the primary reason people don’t think we can win Sat is because there’s a gator on the side of their helmets. I’ve yet to here a coherent argument as to why they are so great or as to where they are so strong. Literally the only argument I’ve seen is “dur, their Florida, dur”. That means literally nothing.

1. It’s in the swamp. Always tough to win there even when we were rolling.

2. Jabari Zuniga is one of the best edge players in this class, already has 3sacks. Jonathan Greenard is generating a lot of buzz too so this will far and away be the best pass rush we have faced so far.

3. Mullen loves to isolate LBs on TEs/RBs in the pass game...this is probably our biggest weakness on defense. I think physically henry T can do it but that’s a big task for a frosh. Bituli and ignot will be targeted a lot especially with Pitts and perine.

4. Who’s covering Van Jefferson? Obv answer is Bruce If he’s playing but Burrell has an awful pass coverage rating. Also we’re gonna be in a lot of cover 3 and cover 1 which will give their QB easy throws to TEs/RBs/underneath.

5. They have only given up 3 sacks this year. OL isn’t maulers but they have done fine in pass pro...can we get to the QB?

6. Do you honestly trust JG to go into the swamp and win?

Good thing I have the #1 waiver this week. He was gone before this. Will Grier time???
Click to expand...

Yo if it was a keeper league I'd suggest watching Grier closely.

That Panther skill player group is so stacked, a QB with a quick release and desire to throw and not run would have some serious weapons.

Trask can run a little, but he isn't fast. It is true that their front 7 is the biggest advantage. That said, JG has had a clean pocket all year. We really don't know how good our OL is. We really don't, because they haven't really been tested as they will be on Saturday. At the same time, we've got road graders on this OL right now. We can and we will run the football against them imo. If we have success running the ball, its going to be difficult for them to pin their ears back and come after JG. Plus, if they have to stop the run, they'll load the box, and hello Jennings and Callaway. They will make plays.

I picked the Vols to win in the prediction thread, even though I don't expect them to. But I will say this, if we had a better QB, I'd expect to win on Saturday. I would. We need JG's best performance to win and he hasn't showed it to us all year that's why I don't think we win on Saturday. But if we had someone else, literally almost anyone else, I'd expect to win. I'll put it this way, if KY had our skill players, they would've won easily last Saturday against this Fl team.

big if on us being able to run the ball......to the point where we can have real balance on play calling. even against BYU, that outside zone was the bread and butter. we're not good up the middle, between the tackles. and florida has better speed than BYU defensively so i don't know that we can repeat that outside run game this week......

they'll defend the run first. make JG predictable in the passing game. at least that's going to be the goal.

that's a tough match up for us. we don't have to necessarily win it, but we need to be able to at least hold our own.

Mullen also said both CJ Henderson and Jabari Zuniga could be available on Saturday. Last week, Henderson sat out due to an ankle injury

...Ventrell Miller and Amari Burney, who is expected to be back after missing two straight weeks.

From today

In what world would you take our DB's over UF's? I have even stated they are not what they typically are, but still much better than what we are trotting out.

Our Teams and WR's are the only definitive advantage I see.

agree on the quality here. their front 7 is a big advanage...the biggest advantage either way in this game.

Crouch, HT, Harrison and Bituli. we're not ALL SEC yet, but i can see these LB's making a game of it. i think it's a big deal to have HT and DB in the middle for us. we're faster outside with Harrison and Crouch, than we've been in a while at OLB. i look at this is a win some/lose some. especially when we're subbing.

4. Who’s covering Van Jefferson? Obv answer is Bruce If he’s playing but Burrell has an awful pass coverage rating. Also we’re gonna be in a lot of cover 3 and cover 1 which will give their QB easy throws to TEs/RBs/underneath.

i think this match up feels better if bryce plays obviously, and if our front can do anything from a pressure standpoint. and if CJP is going to commit to being aggressive, i expect a lot of pre snap diagnosing going on. may lead to some mistakes, but i i don't see a bradyesque dink/dunk all game long coming either. some of this is what could maybe lead to some turnovers for us???
5. They have only given up 3 sacks this year. OL isn’t maulers but they have done fine in pass pro...can we get to the QB?
Click to expand...
i think that's a function of getting rid of the ball and Franks being able to run/move around. i think Trask can do similar things, and i still think Trask running is a thing and will be something to watch. would be an easy way to make us commit more to the run game, and take a little pressure off their o line. this is something that will be worth watching....can we affect the QB at all??

6. Do you honestly trust JG to go into the swamp and win?

uh...no comment?
