Granted, the Vikings probably have a much better chance of breaking out this week than the Lions. They face off against a struggling Arizona Cardinals team, while the Lions play the NY Jets, a team with Super Bowl aspirations...but the Jets were beaten last weekend by the Packers in an ugly, ugly 9-0 game.
The Sanchize
Mark Sanchez was drafted just four picks behind the Franchize, but because he was drafted by the Jets, a team with an already dominant defense and a running game, people tend to believe that Sanchez is the better quarterback. After all, he's already been to the playoffs and has been in a GQ spread with that model. These are good reasons to think that way...but it isn't true.
Sanchez has had good stretches this year, but for the most part he has struggled mightily with the Jets offense. For instance, they were shut out last week against the Packers...a team the Leos put 26 points on the board against.
By the way, to any ladies who read my blog, I thought that pic of the Sanchize might be some kind of small consolation for all the cheer babes I post.
Darrelle Revis
Revis is the best corner in the NFL. He will be locked up all day with Megatron. This is the hardest assignment Calvin has every gone up against. This game will probably boil down to how the best corner in the game matches up against the physical freak that is Megatron. Revis has shut down Moss, T.O., Chad Ochocinco...pretty much everyone he has ever faced. If he takes away Megatron from the Lions it could be a long, long day.
Amari Spievey?
As much as I have no confidence in C.C. Brown and have called for Spievey to get more playing time, the fact that the former Iowa corner will now be the Lions full time safety has me more than a little worried.
Amari was victimized on more than a few occasions after he was called to duty on Sunday. He has to step up his game from now on...and hopefully we'll be seeing the future of a very good, young secondary.
I can hope, can't I?
