preface, no one wants any player hurt, but injuries happen (brutal to us last year).
Their right tackle, Conklin, is out. Can our left tackle (Wake) exploit?
They have two back up LBers out. Will we run the ball better in the fourth quarter due to their starters fatigue?
 
We've got Fitzpatrick, Baker and Raekwon. We've got McDonald and Jones. Howard will shut down their best. If William Hayes is back he should be able to contain the run on one side. We've got a rotating line which will be fresher in the 3rd and 4th.

No way, NO How in our house.
 
If there's one player on the team I have no doubt whatsoever that can take advantage of playing vs backups, its Cam Wake... Wouldnt be surprised to see multiple sacks from him alone...

I'm hoping Wake demands double teams with the back up right tackle thus leaving Quinn to feast

Our LBs are the same size of most NFL linebackers. You’d think after all this time saying this and be proven wrong you’d stop saying this, but I guess not.

I like Hayes but we shouldn't be counting on him too much at this point. He hasn't played in a game for a long long time. He didn't get a single snap in pre season games. IF he actually plays tomorrow we should expect only limited snaps from him.
 
I'm sure our pass rushers can win their match ups with the OT's but you need to stop the run first which won't be easy. Then once you stop the run you can rush the passer but you need to be careful with keeping your gaps or their QB will take off and hurt us with his legs. Our defense has to play disciplined football all game long. The whole team actually. We need to not be having all those penalties we had last year which continued on pre season. If we can play a clean game(I know we'll have some flag but keep them to a minimum )and protect the football then I believe we'll have a good chance to win this game.
 
I'm more worried about our starters getting exploited than I am about their backups
