Ragnarok Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 3 hours ago, Jlash said: I think without the ability to consistently run the ball (I like Cohen but he can't bang against that front for a full game) I think Hawaii's quick strike passing game could fall into some traps with IC running a lot of zone this week. Flying to the line and hurrying up quick routes can lead to a player in a zone drifting right into one of those quick throwing lanes, especially if IC does it as consistently as it seems like they will. I think that leads to a couple big defensive plays from IC that could be the game changer in a close one. IC. This is basically where I sit. No Saquon really limited what the Hawaii offense can do. But to Orca and Pickle, excellent job on picking this up so quickly. I am legitimately impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 This another one of those 4wide base things. You've bunched to one side which while it helps with the passing game it would (in my opinion) stagnate the running game because then you have safeties and a LB with free run on the RB. WRs can be a decent blocker but not quality and are often mismatched. Cohen was amazing up until this year with being the speed option of the two backs in Chi, but breaking tackles isn't his thing which is a necessary thing in four wide. They may have blocks at the oline but the rest is about churning those legs and keep going when tackled at second level. I don't see Cohen doing that especially with Elfein being forced to start.

rackcs Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I will echo the sentiments of others who said the lack of Barkley will make this team pretty one dimensional simply by necessity. The other problem is that I think that dimension will also be a bit lackluster. Those WRs are pretty rough. IC takes this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 IC takes this one in a game where Hawaii struggles to score and move the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they are they we should get 5 yards plus on the run or if they have the LB's in the box we check to the quick passes to the bunch side. Just my opinion on how things would go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Can't look past IC here. I don't think that Hawaii offense moves very far and while I don't think IC lights it up either, they move it consistently enough. 19-10 IC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
