Offensively:
Look for Cutright to have a few catches. With the speed and talent of our wideouts he will be open alot this year. Look for Freeney to have a few more carries this week. Coach said he looked good in practice this week . I would like to see Freeney and Horne on field together more and more. Horne is versatile and can line up all over the field as well as of course at the I back position. Putting them both on the field keeps more weapons in opponents faces and moving Horne around will open things up even more for Freeney. Question, what kind of blocker is Freeny as i see him more the FB type if they both line up in the I.
Panther fans we will score points this year yes we will. We are loaded on offense.
Defensivley:
Look for Heideman and Koebcke to play better and make a few more plays. While I am sure you have all been reading how good these two guys are, and rightfully so, they both did not play well this past week. Both were missing tackles and Heideman in particular had runners slip thru his grasp on more than one occassion. I know it was the 1st game but as a LB you just don't miss tackles not acceptable. On a better note Heideman has a great motor he is a hustler. Koebcke looked out of sync last week.They are leaders of defense and will play better this week. I am holding judgement of our OLB's as one is 1st year starter and other is learning new position fair to say look for both to play better this week though. Look for UNI to blitz more which will get pressure on MN's QB and clog running lanes best way to attack wide open offense is to go at it and create confusion have to be careful because downside of this is big plays can happen. Look for our db's to have at least 1-2 picks. As we relentlessly pressure the opposing QB this is inevitable and we have lots of talent in secondary. Look for Pedescleaux to play more today coach has already said this. He is practicing himself into the rotation.
If UNI comes out flat look for this game to be close for the 1st half while I hope this doesn't happen but is always possibility when you play a D2 team, unfortunately.
Side Note:
I really hope that coach Farley does not abandon the 4-3 too much. I feel that we have the personel to play this defense because a strong point of our team is the d-line and this would allow us to get another d-lineman on the field. Since out OLB's are young or learning new position this may not be a bad thing. One more thing i noticed was our ILB's were fighting off O-lineman a little too much in my opinion. Possible because they are learning the in's and out's of the 3-4 either way we have to figure a way to free them up to make plays. While they are good players and very tough they are not the biggest guys and it is a long season.
