Under jags new leadership it very clear they gonna do everything in their power to limit bortles exposure trying to avoid all his dumb ass turnovers. He threw 20 passes last week and I suspect if the coach has it his way he won't be throwing more than that too often!! Jags gonna be pure ground and pound with fornette leading the way but ivory will get 5-10 carries as well. Jags can go this route and attempt to win low scoring games thanks to a defense that could very well be among the best in the league.
Not sure wtf titans were thinking last week game plan wise, 1st with the onside kick to start game then letting Mariota throw it more than 40x while basically forgetting this a smash mouth team at its best. One would assume they would take a look at themselves this week and get back to that style as no way do they want Mariota throwing that many times vs jags pass rush and those very good corners.
Without Robison jags don't have the weapons, the qb, or the desire to try and take advantage of titans suspect corners. Jags gonna continue tryin to establish their new identity as a power rushing football team, while they will have success at times this gonna be a offense titans d can get lot of stops against.
All that is saying this game is gonna have a ton of rushing attempts, lot of punts, and the clock should be moving quickly when these teams do move the football.. who wins this game I have no idea, what I do know is i don't think it gonna take more than 20-21 points to do so. Game reeks of a 20-17 type game. Don't want to let number fall any further as I think the high side would be 43 if they happen to tie up at 20 and next fg wins. That my high side, I think there a great possibility it ends on 37 or even lower..
Dallas -2 (2x).. this is not a overreaction to week 1 this is week 1's dominating showing on Sunday night confirming what i already believed. The boys are one of the best teams in football and all the ridiculous hype about their demise was misguided and quite frankly stupid. On Sunday night dal did not go 3 and out on any possession, every drive finished in nyg territory! Yes they had some problems finishing and per usual the playcalling around the goal line was questionable but let's remember despite gmens offensive issues this a very good defensive unit that the boys simply pushed around.
Donks are not built to deal with a road grading oline and elite rushing attack. Yes their run d looked good against the chargers, this ain't the chargers. Boys big beef up front will be more than miller and co can deal with, donks will be forced to bring extra defenders into the box and then dak will do what he does and make plays off the threat of run game.
Defensively Dallas not great and this where I won't overreact from Sunday night as they played excellent but they are better than given credit for and once again are facing a weak oline this week. Their bend but don't break style will give up yards to Simien but will also force some mistakes as he tends to make some very ill advised passes throughout the course of a drive..
Second week in a row we against the donks as clearly I think they getting a little too much respect. Chargers were a little overwhelmed early as the atmosphere was insane dint expect that to happen here.. this week what may very well be the best team in football pretty much just having to win, sign me up. Let's call it 26-20 boys.
