Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

NFL Week 2 Open Thread

Northwest fans get a couple lopsided-looking early games. Cincinnati at Green Bay has the makings of a blow out. Us southbound few get to see what Seattle passed up on. Mark Sanchez defends home turf against the New England Patriots. Without wishing any specific harm to Sanchez, the Jets or their fans, it would be nice if Seattle did not pass on a franchise quarterback.

I inferred that aerozeppelin was assuming UW was guaranteed to go undefeated the rest of their schedule up until they play Cal on Dec 6. That;s quite the assumption, considering this is College Football and upsets happen. You now, like yesterday.

I hope Sark can stay around for a few years. I’ve already assumed that it is a forgone conclusion that he will eventually take over for Pete Carroll but it would be nice if he didn’t jump ship to a step in between.

Cole and Red--that's 660 pounds!

I love Mebane. It really is too bad to have him out for this game. BUT this is almost better, for this game. The 49ers will run, run, run. With Kerney, Cole, Red, and Redding this line is simply massive. There will be no big runs today, mark my words. It will also help compensate for Hill’s loss, especially if coach decides to start Hawthorne for him…if indeed the Niners want to run like crazy. This lineup, at least for the start gives our offence time to go out in enemy territory, in SF, and make some plays. At half, the game is in the air, so we need to be ahead!

by Christopher Mattix on Sep 20, 2009 12:18 PM PDT reply actions  

There's still the question of whether they'll play at the same time

There’s a good chance Terrill and Redding split the DT pass-rush duty (or not).

by ninjasocks on Sep 20, 2009 12:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

Hopefully Not

If this was Marshall I’d see Terrill starting. But I think Gus and Mora see playing Red and Cole together as a plus, at least on obvious running plays. Hopefully they play together quite a bit and then Redding/Jackson slide inside on passing.
Personally I am a little surprised Terrill is still on the team…

by Christopher Mattix on Sep 20, 2009 12:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

Of course

Loosing Mebane is huge, but we may be able to make up for it with Red, in the running game aspect. But it obviously slows down the whole group.
And Herring will likely start, they could probably compensate by playing Milloy as the run-stuffing Safety this game as well.
