Rationale for victory in next post...

[yankees228]

My defense vs. B22407's offense:

 

I think this is a very good matchup for my defense. My entire defensive scheme is predicated on getting to the QB, and that's exactly what I would be trying to do in this game. Ware and Harrison rushing Vick off the edge should do a very good job of keeping him in the pocket, along with Antrel Rolle and Roman Harper playing up in the box from time to time, and also applying pressure by blitzing the C gaps. Because of B22407's relatively weak receiving corp, I should be able to load up the box, and prevent big plays in the running game. All my linebackers are very disciplined against the run (except for Ware at times), and will do a good job of staying in their lanes and keeping containment against Vick and Johnson. I'll show some cover two from time to time, but I trust Hall and Joseph (and Phillips playing centerfield on passing downs) to handle pass defense when Vick is able to get the ball away cleanly.

 

My offense vs. B22407's defense:

 

B22407 made the mistake of drafting 4-3 pass rushing DEs (Umenyiora and Williams), and playing them in a 3-4. Osi would be completely ineffective in this defense, and it would hurt Williams as well. That will severely hurt his ability to rush the passer, and should help my pass heavy offense. My primary offensive set would be 3 WRs (Holmes, Nicks, and Royal), 1 TE (Cooley), and 1 RB (Bradshaw or Bush), and with Rodgers having time to stand in the pocket and allow the play to develop, I expect lots of success in the passing game (also remember that Reed may not even be in the NFL in 3 years). I also think I could have some success playing bigger sets on offense, because B22407's defensive line is almost a guarantee to struggle against the run.

 

Special Teams:

 

Neither of us have a significant advantage in this department, and it should hardly be game changing.

Can't you read Suns?

[suns]

Can't we start voting when both people say something

I don't think this was agreed upon, but I also think it's a good idea.

[italstallianion]

I am not in charge when it comes to this, but I'll give Suns a pass since boston22407 essentially forfeited.

[TheKilo]

I think Y228 wins this matchup pretty easily. His defense is tailor made to stop Vick and his offense will move the ball at will on that defense. Like my matchup with suns, I think Y228 would be favored by 10+ on a neutral field.

Y228

 

Defense wins this match up against Bostons very weak offense.

[italstallianion]

I think that going too deep into this one would be a waste of words. Boston22407 has some nice players, but he built his team like one would draft a fantasy team (not a real team) and it shows when it comes to mismatched defensive players, offensive numbers over offensive talent, and the "when in doubt, pick guys from your own team" mentality"

 

I think that a few of boston22407's picks were among the worst picks in the draft (TO comes to mind) and I think that y228 is one of the ONLY people who really crafted his defense to fit the scheme he wanted, even if I'm not as big of a fan of the 3-4. I just think that this matchup isn't fair.

Y228, superior Defense vs a weak Offense.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm going with Y288, I think his defense dominates this matchup, not only that, but B22407 has a defensive alinement with players playing out of position. For example there is a huge difference in 4-3 defensive ends and 3-4 defensive ends, so I think Y288 would also be able to put some points up on his defense and ultimately win the game pretty easily.
