The BGN NFL Draft Championship Round!

On Offense:

Once again I’m pretty much going to spread out my offense and force him to match up against all 3 of my WR’s. Team “Kibbles and Vicks” will have a big problem containing my WR’s who are all fast and monsters after the catch.

Desean Jackson will burn Joe Haden
Hakeem Nicks will beat Tillman regularly
Julio Jones will have a good match up against Gamble.

Now for my TE’s, Greg Olsen and Owen Daniels athletically are superior to his LB’s. DJ William and Derrick Johnson aren’t really known for their ability to cover.. Also his Safety’s (Nate Allen and Whitner) will have to focus more on the WR’s than TE’s which will cause a lot of 1v1 matchups for my TE’s on his LB’s..

My OL as usual will be good and can match up against anybody in the game:

Joe Staley will handle Mathis.
Lutui will be on Kevin Williams.
Kreutz will help out on both Williams and Suh.
Anthony Davis will be on Suh (very good match-up)
Jason Smith will be on Will Smith.

No doubt about it, it’ll be a big battle in the trenches.

Running backs Lesean McCoy and Mark Ingram will be very effective running the ball considering we’ll be spreading out his defense, and I’d actually throw a lot of screens to McCoy to get him on the outside where his athleticism and my OL’s athleticism can make plays happen.

Overview of my Offense vs his Defense:

My skill players are just to much for his defense, his LB’s can’t match up to my RB’s and TE’s, his Safety’s will have to worry about the WR’s to much to key in on anybody in particular..

No doubt he’ll get pressure on Rothlisberger, but Big Ben’s a big strong guy who’s very mobile so when the pressure come’s he’ll be able to get away.. Don’t forget his ability to run for some good chunks of yardage.

i dont think there was enough profanity

And I think both teams have big holes in them. Both teams have massive issues on the offensive line. Wild_Eagle’s safeties are ehhhh and Talon Talent’s corners are sketchy.

Team Kibbles and Vick defeats Suck my Vick by a score of 34-31. Upset baby!

W_E is gonna put up a ton of points on TT secondary so i’m leaning towards him but I’ll wait for TT’s explaination

me vs you? I always wanted to pit my team against yours and see who’d win.

Let’s start with the coaches,
He has head coach Jim Cadwell who inherited Peyton Manning. In 2 seasons, he took the Colts to the playoffs and one Superbowl loss. He has an impressive resume, but not nearly as impressive as my head coach, Mike Tomlin. My head coach is 43-21 in the regular season, 5-2 in the playoffs. He has 2 Superbowl trips and one Superbowl win during his time in Pitt. Mike Tomlin is far and away the better head coach.

Marty Mohrninweg vs Cam Cameron
While Marty is a fine OC, I think his success has more to do with Andy Reid’s system then him. Since Marty took over OC duties in 2006, there had been a steady regression in our offensive rankings until last year’s Mike Vick experiment. We went from the 2nd offense in the league to the 6th, then the 9th, then the 11th, until we again reached the 2nd position last year. That kind of reversal in success is not what you hope for your OC to bring to the table. Cam on the other hand progressed each year he was with SD. They went from the 16th, to the 14th, to the 10th, maintained at 10, and then reached 4th his last year there. Cam took a quick and unsuccessful job with the volatile Dolphin’s organization before returning to his duties as OC for the Ravens where they have ranked 18th, 13th and then had an anomaly as the 22nd ranked offense last year. While I think they aren’t far apart I believe Cam’s ability to progress each year gives him the edge.

I am not even going to argue Steve Spagnuolo verse John Fox as while Fox has had his fair share of success, Steve Spagnulo is probably one of the top 3 defensive minds in the league today.

So what kind of game plan am I going to run here?
Offensively, I feel pounding the ball with my combo of Steven Jackson and Ryan Matthews will be successful. While Jackson’s YPC average went down last year, for his career he is still averaging over 4.2 YPC. He also averages 67 percent of his yards after the first contact which is such an underrated stat. Tony Brown is nothing special and Haynesworth plays as he chooses. With Urlacher lining up at WLB the edge is in my favor as his athleticism has diminished enough that he is easily taken advantage of there. When I do incorporate my passing game boy do I have some weapons to play with. Starting with Larry Fitzgerald, I will move him all over the field. Asante doesn’t move from his position so Larry will be able to find wide open spaces as Brent Grimes is good but not great and Sheldon has lost a step. Rolling safety coverage will let me hit Crabtree for sure consistent gains, while the play action pass and double moves from Royals will ensure me some long strikes. My TE matches up great with his LB’s as none of them have the athleticism to keep up with Jermichael Finley. Also including Steven Jackson, one of the best pass catching RB’s, into my game plan will hurt his team as my blockers can control the LB’s and Asante doesn’t tackle properly so he will be Jackson’s target. This is everything I can do with my offense and that is without mentioning that I have Peyton Manning controlling all of this. That means the game plan above can be changed in a spot by the master of audible’s. Offensively my team is looking superb.

Defensviely I may have a little more trouble but I think my team is adequate enough to hold them in their place. First I am going to take away their running game. While McCoy is a damn fine running back who is blocking for him? Joe Staley is good but both Iupati and Davis are unproven, Kreutz was a damn fine center…3 years ago, but he is average now. I like Jason Smith, but he is not even assured of being able to make the move to RT and as we have discussed several times on this site, there is a big enough difference that it might make him ineffective. The biggest glaring need I see though is who is McCoy’s lead blocker? Neither Daniels nor Olsen (who is one of the worst run blockers at TE) are suitable for that position. With this suspect O-line going up against such a dominating front 4, especially Kevin Williams in the middle and Mathis and Smith (10 and 8 TFL last year, respectfully) poor Shady isn’t going to have the room to run. My LB’s are also all able to play the run with equal preciseness. So with the running game locked away my main objective here is to get pressure on the QB. Rothliesberger is mobile but can be pressured easily forcing him into quicker then he’d like decisions. He is one of the most sacked QB’s since 2006 and while a part of that is a terrible O-line, he also holds onto the ball for too long. With Suh causing havoc in the center and Mathis and Smith crashing the sides, not to mention my various blitz packages sending in DJ (5.5 for 2010) and Allen (2 in 13 games), getting pressure on Rothliesberger is a given and we will capitalize off his mistakes. My corners will have some problems with his wideouts but only up to a point. DJax is a very explosive player but he is also spotty. Up and down week to week Playing him tight with Haden and Allen or Whitner will frustrate him early and allow us to mentally remove him from the game. Nicks will be hard to contain on the catch but not because he is a speedy break away player. Nicks is a solid first down catcher and has above average hands but already has shown a penchant for getting injured (5 games missed first 2 seasons). He is pretty consistent when on the field, but Tillman matches up well with him. Julio Jones is mismatched against Gamble as his hands are very suspect and Gamble is quite adept at luring QB’s in before breaking for a pick. Daniels and Owens are my two biggest worries and really only Olsen as Daniels may never be the same player again after some injuries in back to back seasons. W_E misspoke about my LB’s coverage abilities as 2 of them (both Johnson and Williams) were top 5 in passes defensed at the LB position last year with 14 and 9 respectively. Olsen can be controlled by them in single coverage and so whether or not he is a very good TE does not negate’s my teams ability to contain him.

With special teams once again my kicker is better then his. Sure Janikoswki has a powerful leg but his accuracy over his career is 78 percent overall compared to Gostowski’s 84.3 percent. I do not expect my offense to stall much outside the 35 and within that range I’ll take the accurate kicker everyday of the week. DeSean is a fantastic punt returner, probably the 2nd best in the league but he is not a kick returner (2 to his name). Weems on the other hand is excellent at both and will provide me the edge in the kickoff game. W_E may not think he needs to use his punter but no team consistently moves the ball up and down the field. I am a realist and realize to help control the game, field position is of vital importance. With Fields and his 46.2 yard punting average (including 31 inside the 20) even with DeSean returning, I like our chances of controlling field position which is all I need with a QB like Manning.

Finally looking at this matchup I see a high scoring affair that will come down to the draw. In that crunch time which QB would you rather have lead that march down the field? Rothliesberger has done it, and impressively, but Manning has done it like a true professional, time and time again. Give me Manning anytime in that situation, and give me the tools I supplied him on my team.

great matchup

Sorry TT got give it to W_E.

His WRs will be too much for your corners and while I think you can score against his D. I think the high scoring game will ultimetaly lead to your loss.

Suck My Vick 35 Kibbles and Vick 27

i like the andy reid cheeze whiz team.. those receivers and demarcus ware.. pretty sick

TTs team would rape W_E team!

People are just voting for WE’s team because he has McCoy, Jackson, and Samuel and the majority of people voting in this are Eagles fans. No offense it’s still a good team but I feel like people are being biased.

I’m getting nervous.

Suck My Vick looks like the Winner.

I created both teams on Madden and I simulated the game, which ended up being a thriller. I made sure every player played the respected position they are supposed to (Such as Brian Ulacher playing OLB).

Team Kibbles and Vick defeated Suck My Vick 44-43.

Its only Madden but it’s interesting to note both teams are rated 91. Both teams are even.

Hell of a team you put together there young’ un. While I still love my team I must admit, your receiving corp against my CB’s was probably the deciding factor. So very nice job. Your victory is well earned. Now go Fuck yourself!
Djack, thank you very much for putting this together. It was quite fun. Cost me a lot of hours at the computer, lol, but it was a blast regardless.
To all the other participants, great job if you actually participated. This is what makes BGN great. the community interaction is second to noe. This is why we have other team’s fans coming to hang out here over their own pathetic team’s sites. This is the same reason why Eagles fans, heck philly fans are the best fans there.
BBI, you’re a greasy Giant fan and normally I’d want you to burn in hell, but I grown fond of you so instead you may live, chained in my basement.
