I do not think we can win this game straight up, we need a gimmick, and that would be Kirk (or Colt)running the pistol

Yeah, there are a bunch of question marks heading into this game that make it hard to call. Many unknowns.

-Will the staff find a way to run the ball effectively?
o will the TE blocking be adequate
o if the TE blocking isn't adequate will their be an adjustment in the run game?
o will the staff stick with the run if its not working early?

-Which Kirk do we get?
o With balanced playcalling will Kirk be able to be a productive passer without the turnovers?
o With pass heavy playcalling can Kirk carry the offense without turnovers?

-Will the rightside of the OL be liability, adequate or a strength?

Defensively what will Barry's scheme even look like?

-How will the secondary perform?
-Will Hall be ready to play?
-Which Dash do we get?
-Which Amerson do we get?

-Who will be the opposite rush linebacker across from Kerrigan and can they bring pressure? (Please let it be Jeffcoat in pass rush situations)

-Can our DL and rush package look as good on the field as they do on paper?

-Will the return units finally give us decent field position with the addition of Crowder?

I'm questioning myself because I'm wondering the about the same things.

Was really worried about the running game after the Baltimore 1st half.

The gospel according to Cooley this evening was essentially if they take the running game away from us by putting 8 in the box, like Baltimore did, we need to be prepared for the typical west coast short pass game.

Reminds me of the Pats/Ravens playoff game last year. There were a couple of drives when NE didn't call a single run.

It's a pretty safe bet IMO. If you're the D coordinator for Miami who do you test, Morris and Jones or Captain Kirk?

We just need Kirk to destroy his phone and connect on passes for positive yardage and keep our offense on the field.

I'm wondering more about our D.

How much of a role will Pot Roast have with their fast paced offense? It's not really hurry up but it is close.

If we can't get off the field after 3rd downs it's going to be a long day.

I think Miami will get consistant pressure with 4. They ended Matt Ryans night real early in preseason. I haven't seen them bring the house yet.

You guys need to get something outside and quick to move the ball. You have talent with a RB catching the ball and making plays in space.

I was alive for that one but do not remeber it. I do appreciate your style though.

No need to apologize. I'm in your house.

Im guessing you were born in 1974? Lol. Me - 1971 so i do remember it, luckily. Anyhow figured you were too young to throw 1972 back in my face.
Sorry you're a seemingly decent "outsider" so welcome, and I wont post anymore pics of the diesel making monkey meat out of the killer bees.

Doesn't bother me. We did ok in the 70s also. The 70s doesn't help either of us on Sunday. I like your forum and I will stop by to say hello throughout the season. You guys are good fans. I have trecked to half of the stadiums in the league. I look forward to visiting you guys. You seem like the type of group that would share a beer with me at your tail gate. You seem like the type of group that has passion for your team but also realizes that it is just a game and we are all just fams of teams. Trash talking has its merits, but it should also have boundries.

There are places that it is not like that. Just from visiting your site, I hope you guys have the season you have hoped for....just not Sunday

Have to admit this gave me a chuckle. Atlanta now has our old OC and the right side of their line (the side trying to block Suh and Wake) are two people that used to play here who we complained about constantly... Tyler Polumbus and Chris Chester. They can both stretch run block fairly well in the ZBS but are terrible in pass protection. I feel bad for Ryan having those two starting.
