Lawrence would have a feast in this one but IC has a decent counter to that with a RB in to pass protect. I get that point for a number of position groups, but DB and OL are the two groups that play a vast majority of the snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change the fact DBs are one of the positions that are rotated most often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whicker Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I don't get the thin DB thing. If you've got 4 CBs and 3 S, you've got enough DBs for the game. Starting safeties and corners play 100% of snaps minus goalline. They may rotate in and out of the slot, but it's not standard for a 5th CB to come on the field to give the #1 guy a rest. I like Berlin here. The injuries are just too much for Ivory Coast. Jake Fisher has played 20 snaps this year for an O-line that's not considered good, and I think those were mostly 6 OL formations. Dion Dawkins is an okay NFL starter but as PR said, he's going up against a very good one here. I think their weapons generate offense against the Berlin secondary, but their O-line will not hold up for a whole game. Berlin has a pretty good offense IMO. Tyreek and Tredavious is a good battle but Tyreek is one of those that needs more than just a shadow mention in your gameplan. Tyreek will get some. Malcolm Jenkins Butler (according to writeup) is really really bad and I don't like Ivory Coast's defense as much without Mack. You need more than a shutdown corner and one pass rusher if you're going to shut teams down in this league. I vote Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have to lean with IC here. Dawkins is a poor BDL starter, but not dumpster fire bad, even considering he's going up a great pass-rusher. Fisher and Dawkins next to each other though? That could get pretty ugly. If I was IC, I'd have considered moving Fisher to RG and Martin to LG, I know it's moving two players, but at least you limit having two liabilities next to each other. Other than that, I kind of like IC's offense to have some success. Some solid weapons and Luck's looking good so they can put some points up, even if not a great deal. Berlin's offense doesn't inspire me a great deal. The new additions & youngsters are performing above expectations, but they're still hamstrung by the injuries all over and the QB situation. IC might be missing Mack, but it's still a decent enough D without him. For this reason I have to lean with IC, who even if they don't put many up, do enough for the win. IC 17 - 13 Berlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
