These are two vastly different teams IMO. I think UK's is much more explosive while Pride's has a team that is looking to a first down with his possession receivers. I think UK's CB's are pretty weak compared to the other teams so this his secondary is perfect for this matchup. But the thing is his safeties are great so can stack the box IMO. Pride doesn't have the best CB's either but he doesn't have the best safeties either which hurts him in this matchup with Gronk and Witten. I actually like Pride's defense better but Freeney is a non-factor, which hurts him. He doesn't need another edge rusher bc he has Harrison and Porter, this also frees up the great TE's UK has.

I got UK

Not a fan of the 2 TE formation with a QB that likes to spread the ball and is not known to get his TEs into the game consistently.

BUT those weapons are just SCARY!!!

I got U.K.

For future reference, Mcnair doesn't like to spread it around. Traditional offense lol

I think Pride's team is much more methodical, dink and dunk type game. UK's is much more explosive of an offense and I'm not a fan of Pride's secondary. Freeney is also out of place here and with Porter and Harrison all as rushers, Faulk would have a field day in the passing game.

Have to go with UK here.

You drafted a good team just I felt Freeney didn't fit and the offense EVEN with Brady was not that explosive. If you would have drafted a legit TE or big play WR I saw your possiblity of winning this draft pretty high. Good team for your first time though man

Matt Ryan played with Tony G and in some two TE sets. He knows wassup. We talked about it and he knows his role. Just FYI.

heath miller has some of the most receptions for a tight end in nfl history and insane blocker. wayne is possession, and seller and ward are EXACTLY what brady needs.... probably he best online in the draft and Emmitt at rb? but not explosive? your on crack

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Funny thing is, I think these teams would have benefited in a Hines ward for Jason witten trade. Would have made both teams better. Steelers really got hurt by the mistake of drafting 2 RB. very hard to have Heath miller be the best ENDZONE receiver

I really disagree with that. Having two HOF level TE's is rare, but devastating(think Gronk/Hernandez)because you can dictate everything out of base personnel. A team takes out an LB and plays sub, then I have two TE's to block for 7 legit blockers. You drop a safety down, play action kills you. You line up in base personnel, and any pass play gets an LB trying to cover Gronk, Witten or Faulk one on one. With Rodgers at the helm, you get murdered if you blitz. Love the two TE set.

You said Miller has a ton of receptions but he is still a posession TE. While Brady does needs possession weapons he also needs that one explosive guy, I dont see it from Miller. Wayne is your most explosive guy.

I thought you did a great job for your first draft. I think the scheme fit for some of your front seven guys is what hurt you. Overall a very talented team
