A Look Ahead to Weather in The Swamp

[CJ Vogel]

There has been plenty of conversation about the weather and what is expected this weekend from Mother Nature in The Swamp.

According to AccuWeather, precipitation is very likely.

Playing in wet conditions obviously isn't ideal for the passing game, but perhaps the most concerning aspect of this forecast is wind gusts pushing north of 25 mph.

Cloudy, windy and wet looks like the full game forecast.

Pretty good reason as to why the total for this game is 41.5.

Fielding punts will be very difficult in this game

Lucky for us we really don’t try to field them much.

Shoot, you aren't wrong.

What is the line on total turnovers in this game?

I don't think I've seen this much fretting over the possibility of about a quarter of an inch of rain.

Just play base defense.  No return.  Just run off the field after it’s kicked.  Thus, no sudden change.  Niblett scares me.

Not that I’m looking forward to punting , but boumeester will end up being the difference in this game

So, don’t play Gibson…

 

Clark, Simon and Wisner only

I coached high school returners for many years. If a guy is not fluid and tracks the ball naturally, he is not going to be successful. We actually used our TE one year because he NEVER dropped a ball, even at practice with me throwing things at him. None of our “skill” guys could do it that year.
When Dalan McCutcheon was in, he looked comfortable and a natural. Bubbler makes me nervous every time.

Hell, I’d kill for a quarter inch of rain now.

Gibson has played very well recently. The fear of fumbles is still legit and will definitely test the staff's trust in him, but he has been very solid at finding slivers of daylight in the run game.

You must be in the dry lands, like the real Tuco.

Instead of a returner bring an extra blocker?! See how well the punter does in the rain with wet footing?

I love how he runs and plays. Just concerned about fumbles in that weather. I hope he proves me wrong!!

I'm not worried about the rain. The footing on natural grass will be important; especially if there is al ot of rain the day before the game. How many games have you seen played in snow? The over typically hits. I'm not worried about the rain; however, the wind is the issue. Candidly, both Teams will have to manage and deal with the elements. Hoping Sark & Co. can solve the problems in making adjustments quicker, more efficient and effectively than The Florida Staff. My #1 Concern is: In the Event of Lightning where it creates a Weather Delay and Teams have to return to The Locker Room - so, The Game has started and and then interrupted - which Staff and Team will do The Best Job at returning to the Field and playing at The Highest Level? 

[Migas & Fajitas]

The only forecast we need concern ourselves with is the one our defense will be delivering...
