CD Newsletter Week 2

 

You think Tannehill is Tua? Tanny doesn't blow, but I just don't think you have to put in as much resources game planning around him as you would with Tua or any other top tier QB.

 

Based on what I wrote in the post above, would love to know what you see in that game that makes you think the Tians win. I get that the Chargers D got torched last week, but they got mainly killed on those Hill crossing routes. (I still can't believe they didn't make adjustments there.) 

The Titans don't have a WR that come close to what Hill does, and even if Hopkins plays, I don't think he's the type of WR that can take over a game anymore. The Titans might be able to run on the Chargers D-line, but it has improved their run defense this year.

My concerns with the Chargers, though, are the following:

In danger of not suiting up Sunday:  Joey Bosa, Eric Kendricks, and Austin Ekeler

The one that concerns me the most is Kendricks because I aboslutely hate Kenneth Murray, especially when dropping back in coverage. Just no awareness or instincts whatsoever, imo.

Tuli Tuipulotu, the Chargers 2nd round pick last year, has looked excellent in limited playing time last week, and in pre-season. He's obviously not starting over Bosa and Mack, but he's been rotating in and putting in pressure. I actually wouldn't sweat it much if Bosa couldn't play.

Ekeler is the wildcard because, while I have faith in Kelley & Spiller/Dotson in our current blocking scheme, I still don't know how this affects the run game. Neither is as good as Ekeler.

I just thinking the Chargers passing offense comes alive next week. I can also see the Over in play here. 

@iConsciousness

 You said "good luck with this bet"

I didn't bet it, it was just the CD Newsletter preamble for week 2.

 

Yeah, as I continued to read the newsletter, I reminded myself of the formatting... initial leans, and then plays later (which I saw). Good stuff in here, btw. 

Mr. Miracling has taken tilt to another level. 

It's been a couple of years since I've bet, and I'm still not wagering ...

some air bets for shits and giggles ...

Tenn +3

Cin -3

NYG -4.5

NE +3

Car +3

Cle -2.5

May you fine gentleman fare well this weekend

@Hugh_Jorgan

 Much appreciated 

 

Titans down 2 starters in the back half..ouch! Speaking of thin secondary's Bama gives up 3 td's thru the air in the 4th and around 350 total thru the air, so, they change qb's. 

It'l be a minor miracle if Ravens scratch out a win. 

@Hugh_Jorgan

 

I'm going all in on the AFC South (because of a divisional matchup there are only 3 bets)

Jacksonville +3.5/ML, Jeff Fishers +3/ML, Texicans -1

I deserve to go 0-3 

@Getty3

 Bold strategy. No one would ever do that with the afc south in year's past. The sharp ones see things coming. 

I'm off to go fishing. I bet Mizzou +4, won't be able to watch and I'm glad. Need a stress free Saturday before anxiety Sunday begins. 

Tannehill is trash...Charger D is worse....

Thought i had a snag this morning then get my lime rickey squirrely tail in and the sucker is almost bit in half in two places. Snakehead or Pickey for sure..guess. GL 

@Hugh_Jorgan

 What happens when you lose a Mind Bet?

@666LES

 

 

No effect .....go check out the MLB forum for a few days  

he goes into never mind mode and has a t-bone steak for dinner. 

I'm actually going to stay away from this game after hearing Kendricks will be out. And it's not so much that he's out, leaving Kenneth "K9" Murray, as the lead linebacker. It's that he'll be wearing the green dot for the first time. Not sure how I feel about him calling plays for the defense. Hopefully it pans our but he hasn't lived up to his 1st round selection.

With Ekeler out, I still feel good about the offense putting up points.

Sometimes it's more fun to just watch your team play than to have anything on it. But if there's anything I like in this game, it's the over.

 

I respect your knowledge of the Bolts, as well as your insights ... so I'm just clarifying something here ...

The green dot on defense doesn't call the plays, he simply gets them from the DC and relays them to the rest of the players.

On offense the QB gets the plays from the sideline, he relays them to the players, but then has the added responsibility of making an audible after he sees the coverage that the D is playing.

Once a QB audibles there is not enough time for the D to counter-audible

So you're saying I have nothing to lose?

A solid argument can be made to back that theory up

@undermysac

 nice write up

 

liking a lot of unders again this week,

sf/lar

nyj/dal

den/was

car/no

bal/cin

 

kinda like the over in the battle of rookie QBs....but not worth betting it with 2 rookie QBs going

 

already locked in on diggs over 6.5 receptions @1.95....peters a big talker which should get diggs motivated to put up big numbers...if he needed extra motivation...raiders secondary nothing special and bills run a pass heavy offense

 

gl fellers

 

for props

 

henry over 85.5 rush yards should have a big day vs chargers....unless chargers get huge lead and titans abandon the run....

exact same thing as above for jacobs vs bills...hes at 70.5 rush yards

 

z.wilson under 180.5 pass yards.... should have tough time vs cowboys secondary....unless boys get huge lead and play prevent and give him easy completions

 

looking at a few others

Mizzou outright win, and a great day of fishing 

Got few bad news texts while I was fishing. 

The Bears D coordinator won't travel with the team for personal reasons. Matt Eberflus will call the defense. 

Bears starting RG Nate Davis is also not traveling with the team for personal reasons. 

Wtf is going on with this team? If where there is smoke, is there fire?

Do I buy out of the Bears?

 

??

Thank you.
