[QUOTE="Incubes12, post: 342089, member: 1689"] Here's my rundown of your offense vs. our defense: 1. LOS - if Pouncey is out, you are going to have trouble with our front 3, especially with Raji up the middle. Raji is having a breakout year and a career postseason. He's a big, strong guy, and sticking a backup in to block him is not only creating a matchup problem in the center, but also runs the risk of a botched snap or two. The way we mix up blitz packages, we can have Matthews coming in, or dropping back, and the same thing goes for Woodson. Jenkins should be good for at least 1 sack and a few hurries. 2. QB - here's where I think you can counter our blitz and our push at the LOS. Ben has been known to do well under pressure and outside of the pocket. If he can avoid our blitz and our pass rush, he can have a field day as the D becomes vulnerable to big plays if the pass rush doesn't get enough pressure, or the pressure is avoided. I know Ben has the capability to take advantage of that. He's accurate, has a big arm, and can run...all three characteristics that make for a VERY dangerous QB outside of the pocket. If we hit him a few times and rattle his nerves a bit (not injure him, just make him nervous), we can control this. 3. RB - Where you really have our number. Our biggest issue on defense this year has been bringing guys down. Powerful running backs just keep pushing and our guys can't get them to the ground. Mendenhall has shown a lot of promise this year, he's got power, some breakaway speed, and good moves (dare I say, like a young LT?). He's dangerous, but if Capers plays it right, we could be able to limit his yardage. If your play calling catches Capers off guard, Mendenhall will have a field day. 4. WRs and Secondary - This is where our major strengths on defense lie. Tramon Williams has emerged as a truly shutdown corner. Right up there with the likes of Darrelle Revis and Nnamdi Asomugha. His play has been phenomenal this year, and I think he can keep Wallace in check, maybe giving up one big play because heck, the guy is fast. Woodson and Shields will cover Ward. Woodson is pretty good covering the possession receivers like Ward, and as long as he's in coverage and isn't blitzing, Hines will get frustrated. I don't know much about your third WR, so I'll leave that up to speculation. 5. TE - It's been an issue for us all season because we all too often leave the middle of the field wide open. I don't see that changing much during this game, and if Ben sees that, Miller could have a huge game. All in all, our teams made it this far because they are the best of their respected divisions. We played (and beat) all of the best teams in our conference, all highly touted teams (Eagles, Bears, Falcons) that we took down on the road. We're here because we're the best, and we match up well against each other. This is going to be a GREAT F****** GAME. [/QUOTE]
