Here goes:

 

When I have the ball: I think the best way to attack yrtb's defense is the same way the Pats beat the Steelers - spread them out and have Brady hurt them with the hot routes, quick read, 3 step drop type passes. I think his team has a pretty fearsome front seven, but I do think his linebacking corps is a little suspect in pass coverage. Orakpo and Matthews are unreal pass fishers but have not proven to be good in coverage. Even if yrtb finds a way to slow down my wideouts, Hernandez and Forte are matchup nightmares catching the ball out of the backfield. I think draws and trap plays will be my best bet running the football, to try to use the defense's aggressiveness against it. The secondary is pretty good but I think DRC and Otogwe have regressed quite a bit and will have problems matching up with my skill guys.

When yrtb has the ball: it's pretty clear what yrtb's offensive strategy is going to be. Pound the rock until the defense sells out on the run and then go over the top with Orton. Problem is, I think my defense is perfectly set up to beat that kind of running attack. With Ngata, Vilma, and Dansby, I think Peterson/Foster are going to have a lot of problems running between the tackles. I will stack Wake/Greenway on one side and Woodley/Long on another, giving me a balanced pass rush while also protecting against the run with guys who are sound, fundamental tacklers. Unfortunately for yrtb, he selected a coach who is allergic to the running game and will no doubt try to have Orton get it to his tall WRs. I think if the offensive line can give Orton time, he could have success against my defense but I am confident Capers can come up with a defensive scheme to slow him down. The guy invented the zone blitz for crying out loud. My strategy is simple - make Orton grind out 10+ play drives to beat me and not give up the big play. I'll believe Orton can do that in a big spot when I see it.

 

Prediction - BP Spillers 24, yrtb 17

While I understand that my linebackers may not be the best in pass coverage, they will stop the running game and get to the quarterback, and I don't think Kilo's offensive line is good enough to give Brady enough time to get the ball to Colston and White. Although they are a dangerous 1-2, I don't see any of my CB or safeties declining, as they all are relatively young, and I think that Otogwe and Branch are really underrated

 

On offense, while Kilo has Ngata in the middle and great linebackers, Arian Foster and Adrian Peterson put up yards on a consistent basis, in the middle and on the outside, regardless of the defense they are facing. They will beat up the defense and then Orton has four tall and speedy targets to run deep and run slants all over Kilo's secondary

thats actually not true about AP and Foster, both have had games where they've struggled, ad bad numerous bad games last year including one vs arizona where he had 19 yards on 13 carries and if AD and/or foster struggle i don't see you doing very good with orton who is not that good of a QB, the broncos are a horrible team and hes putting up stats on a horrible team.

 

im going with thekilo 28-10

I see TK moving the ball at will on yrtb's defense. Cole should be a non-factor, and that will hurt whichever OLB (Matthews or Orakpo) is on his side. I don't trust DRC and Porter against TK's WRs, and I see Brady having a huge day. I also think that TK has a very good strategy with his running attack, as draws and traps will do a good job of countering what is sure to be an aggressive defense.

 

On the other side of the ball, I think yrtb will have some success in the running game, as he has an excellent offensive line, and great RBs. But if he falls behind, yrtb will have to go to the air, where I think he'll have little success.

 

TK's team by 2-3 scores.

Kilo

 

y228 summed it up very nicely. yrtb most likely wouldn't be able to hurt kilo in the air and would have to throw the ball a lot because I see kilo jumping out to an early 2 score lead.

Realistically here, Kilo's defense was built to stop YTRBs. He's got a real strong front seven who will be able to limit the run attack, and I don't feel as if Orton is good enough to beat this defense on his own. He's going to need to make some plays, and I don't think he's really the guy who is going to get knocked on his ass and get right back up and make a first down. Brady will shred YRTB's defense with screen passes to Forte and Hernandez, and I think he'll have success going over the top. Kilo's offense is perfectly balanced here, two well contrasting backs, a mid-level/posession guy with Colston, and over the top thread in White (best 1-2 duo in the league by far), a good slot guy in Nelson and a very underrated guy in Cotchery.

 

The Kilo by double digit points. Neutral field I could see the spread being 7+.

Final: 4-0 TK
