How I intended that to read, was that out of the 425 defense, that at times the defensive ends would be dropping into zone coverage, obviously not deep coverage, just short zone coverage in hopes of catching a quick slant or inside routes by the TE's. I was thinking that was called zone blitz but could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD4L Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 This game is closer than expected. Alex Smith was nonchalant against a very average defense. Is that one reason enough to vote against Camden? Maybe, but Darius Leonard (amongst other) are some assets. They can rush the pssser and it should come in handy v Rivers. It’s not yet that they’ve played a poor group of OTs, so Rivers might get into an occasional rhythm. I’m tempted to vote Camden and they have a few things going in their direction. 2 RB set is unnecessary w a statue, and Orlando has a lacking pass rush without sending extra people. Kamara, Gronk, and Evans are the difference makers as even without a true liability in the secondary it’s hard to cover all those weapons with a functional QB like Rivers.

pheltzbahr Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I like the idea of a 2RB offense with a Kamara type and another effective RB, but Royce Freeman isn't there yet. Going 3 wide to free up the d and unleash Gronk and Kamara would seem to work better against all but the most elite/matchup proof defenses. JLash plans well again, but I think the overall Orlando offensive firepower is too uch for Alex and friends to keep up with over 4 quarters. Orlando in a tighter game than it should be.

SirA1 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Performance - Orlando; Game Plan - Orlando; Matchup - Orlando Home team gets the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Alex Smith can't keep up, Orlando has the better gameplan despite a late game comeback because ODB makes a few plays late in the 4th on checkdowns Orlando holds on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I like Camden's gameplan for this one, giving them a slight edge. Not entirely sold on Alex Smith, but he should be able to do just enough to get his team the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnarok Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I really like the Camden game plan here as the new coaching staff in Orlando is still tweaking a few things. I think Camden has an advantage in the trenches and with Leonard and Ward growing up quick, they have a great D front to back. Both teams have a number of impressive weapons, but I think injuries to the Orlando LB corps allows the TEs for Camden to help them chew up the clock.

Whicker Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 This one was really tough for me. I hesitate to vote either way because I'm afraid I'll change my mind. I love the Camden gameplan and I like their defense a lot. If Josh Gordon gets dialed in, then this is an easy playoff team. They are going against a good team here though with a near limitless top end, and I think Orlando is given enough time to hit some of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I think the 2 RB system actually is a good twist here. One it screws up coverage on either Gronk or Kamara because redirecting coverage. And second either JLash keeps 3 CBs on the field which is a strength, brings on a 3rd LBer which would then deplete all of his LB reserves and exhaust a run focused team at the second level OR bring on additional safeties which may or may not be able to contain an additional powerback. Going Orlando as I feel it is an effective strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like the second back magically appears as a 12th man and my defense can’t adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Alex Smith's superior mobility in the read-option should be enough to give Camden the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
