If we look at their offense versus our defense, we see:

HB - Jones-Drew - always hard to stop, but our D-line is big and our LBs are good run-stoppers.
FB - Will Ta'ufo'ou - I kn'ow no'th'ing abou't th'is g'uy.
QB - Gabbert - Good Week 1 guy to help our secondary get their legs under them.
WRs - Cecil Shorts and Ace Sanders (Blackmon suspended for associating with Von Miller.) Will Sean Smith destroy these hobbits on the line, or will one of them run wild?
TE - Marcedes Lewis. We'll see if Berry has learned to cover, I guess.
OL (left to right) - Monroe, Rackley, Meester, Nwaneri, Joeckel. Jackson vs. Joeckel will be interesting, and their interior doesn't seems well-suited to stop our Poe-rade.

We should do fine against the pass because, you know, Gabbert. Against the run, we'll see how well Poe holds against their non-scary interior, because Jones-Drew's not really an outside guy.

I like our odds on defense.

Comparing our offense against their defense, we see:

DL (left to right) - Alualu, Roy Miller, Sen'Derrick Marks, Jason Babin. No idea who Miller is, and I figure Albert can stop Babin on the pass rush. It's nice to have a 4-3 that doesn't line up on Hudson in Week 1. I think we can run left pretty well on these guys.

LBs (L to R) - Geno Hayes, Posluszny, Russell Allen. They seem reasonably strong here. We'll see if they can keep up with Jamaal Charles heading to the sidelines.

CBs and Ss - Dwayne Gratz, Alan Ball, Johnathan Cyprien, Dwight Lowery. Someone will have to educate me on the CBs. How will they stand up against Bowe and Avery?

It seems like the main question here will be their LBs against our short passes, and whether we pound the ball. I'm not sure we have much advantage here given our style, but I suspect we only need to score three points to win.
