LeSean McCoy is better than Kenyan Drake. Kevin Zeitler is one of the lowest graded run blocking guards and your tackles are not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Despite a better OL, I don't trust the weapons of Portland to do enough in this one to get the win for them. Seoul has a very solid D front to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Zeitler is one of the lowest graded run blocking guards and your tackles are not good. I'm assuming you are eluding to the PFF blocking grades. Schraeder is the 7th RT in run blocking. Humphries is the 10th LT. Neither Villanueva nor Tunsil rank in the top 16 at their position. Boling has a similar grade than Zeitler. Saffold has a much grade than Hernandez and Mack is the highest rated center (Paradis being really good too to be fair). I would also counter on the McCoy > Drake assessment but I'm assuming it's more opinion based than facts based (which is fine) so I won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFLukic Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 To be honest, this was pretty close to a toss-up. I know Green was healthy the previous week and his injury has come to light in the bye-week, but I can't take him being at 100%. Tyrell Williams is a decent fallback option though and can definitely cause some problems deep with Ryan throwing to him. Portland's OL does a decent enough job I feel to give Mahomes time and those weapons, outside of RB, are pretty solid for him to work with. Not a great deal of a running game, but I don't see Seoul doing too much on the ground either. Portland's aerial attack is also definitely good enough to have some success against a Seoul secondary that isn't overly inspiring. On the other side of the ball, I fw Portland's secondary but that front 7 aside from Short & Martinez isn't exactly exciting me. I don't see how they get any pressure against a Seoul OL, even if it is undermanned. End of the day, Seoul's a team fighting for the playoffs. Portland's looking forward to next year. Seoul historically have had Portland's number and I don't think anything changes here. Seoul 24 - 20 Portland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Mahomes is going to be great for Portland, but they need to give him better weapons to really unleash him. Seoul by 2 scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheltzbahr Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Seoul has a very balanced team, Portland can't keep up. Mahomes is awesome, but don't think it translates to as much awesomeness here with a much worse supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
