How many Td's will "the Dart" throw week 1

Thanks for jinxing us Crash....

I was not saying Hill would be a dominate performer. I just said I hope he does what Dan was predicting because he is on my fantasy team.

The Raiders just signed Aldon Smith. So yeah, that happened.

That's disgusting.

Eifert will get absolutely nothing done against SLB Kahlil Mack.

Travis Carrie has been promoted from Nickel Back to RCB and will have the job of covering Marvin Jones, while LCB DH Hayden will cover A.J. Green. When Sanu is on the field, SCB Keith McGill will be on him.

At 6'3", 211, McGill has the size to cover Sanu in the endzone. That leaves Dalton to try to target Green and Jones against Oakland's two "average" CB's.

I think both of them are on the Receiving end of a Dalton TD Pass, while Jeremy Hill pounds his way in for two scores, as SS Charles Woodsen discovers that he's too old to try to stop backs as good as Hill from doing what he wants on the ground.

"3" technique Dan Williams, and LDE Justin Tuck are very good making the left side of Ken Norton's 4-3 Defense difficult to run on. The Bengals will have their best runs going behind Whitworth and Boling against NT Justin Ellis and Rookie RDE Mario Edwards, Jr.

It's possible that Del Rio and Norton choose to use Pro Bowler LB Kahlil Mack at RDE in place of the Rookie Edwards, making it more difficult to run on that side. It that happens, then Eifert becomes a constant target as Hue should exploit Mack's replacement at SLB, Ray Ray Armstrong.

Using a Fullback in this game by the Bengals is critical. If Justin Ellis lines up on the left shoulder of Bodine, then running between Bodine and Zeitler will lead to good gains for Hill, as Zeitler can match strength for strength with Williams at the "3". If Justin Ellis lines up on the right shoulder of Bodine and Mack is at LDE, then using a Fullback to go behind Boling could open up enough of a Lane to get Hill far past the first level, and possibly past the second level, making for numerous 10+ yard gains. SS Charles Woodsen is useless against Hill.

Ooops.
