Brandon and the copperheads go into the next stretch of games on a 3 game losing streak. Currently they sit in 2nd place in the division but New Orleans and Orange County are right there with them. They go into the next stretch of game facing off with Honolulu, Arizona and Baltimore. All tough match ups but all winnable games. They just need to come prepared with a solid game plan for each game and focus on one game at a time.
Week 11 game plan - home against Honolulu
Honolulu has put up the second most points in the division behind a league fifth best passing offense. Montagne is averaging 278 passing yards and just over 2 TDs per game. They has just about 2800 passing yards in the season with 22 TD and there are 2 options that are a clear focus, Mai-heinous and Gronkowski. They together have almost 1800 receiving yards and 14 TDs. The key to winning this match up is limiting their ability to make plays. They are both play makers so they will have big plays but the goal is to just limit them. Doing things such as providing a safety over top of Mai-heinous or just double coverage and trying to chip Gronkowski off the line with a defensive end or a linebacker to disrupt the timing of plays and the best coverage linebacker on him the whole game. Delphine jr is also a threat but the offense is primarily run through the passing game. As for the offensive game plan austin needs to do what they do best. Air it out. Protect the queen and let her ball. Honolulu has the worst defense in the division and second worst in the league when it comes to passing yards allowed. They also have given up a lot of points per game. Develop a little running game behind Newman to open the field and then let bickerman, patey, and beeblebrox do their thing. This odd what austin did in their 34-30 win over Honolulu in their week 2 matchup. This should be a pretty winnable game for the copperheads.
Week 12 game plan - austin goes to Arizona
Arizona got the best of austin in their matchup in week 1 in a close 21-14 final. The big thing that got austin last time was losing the turnover battle 3-1. The challenge with the league best team Arizona is their run game. They are the second best in the league behind the two headed monster nedelko and blue jr. Combined they have over 1400 yards and 17 TDs. Austin will need to be all in on the run game. They have to win the battle in the trenches. If that run game gets going there’s no stopping them. Once they open up the field by making their opponents stack the box that’s when sailor beats you. With a 105 rating, 22 TDs and 5 ints, while not the focus of the offense but very effective. The defensive goal is to slow down the run by winning that battle in the trenches. Lots of run support with some cleaver disguises. Offensively austin will just have take advantage of the busted plays when they happen and not turn the ball over. Arizona franks within the top 3 in every stat defensively. The best plan would be slow methodical drive that results in points. And not turning the ball over. Name of the game is keep Arizona offense off the field. This will have to be done by a semi balanced attack of rushing with Newman and queen taking shots when they are there. While this game is winnable Arizona is just too powerful all around and will most likely make the sweep over austin.
Week 12 game plan - austin goes to Baltimore
Baltimore has 1 phase to their offense, pass the rock. They lead the league in passing yards behind play caller beatz who has over 3400 yards and 24 TDs. Their passing game is paired with the leagues worst rush attack. The name of the game for austin on defense will be put pressure on beatz and stick to the WRs like glue. Beatz has 3 primary weapons moreaux who leads the league in passing yards, turnbull who leads the team in TDs and the rookie money. With little threat from the run game austin should run man to man with 2 high safeties with some disguised blitzes to make beatz uncomfortable. With 11 ints getting turnovers in possible for austin too. Offensively austin may struggle. Baltimore has the leagues third best passing defense which is Austin’s primary attack. The goal here would be to focus on getting Newman going. The offensive line has to make the hole for him and get to the second level. This will allow for queen to then be able to pass the ball but without that threat of a run game Baltimore and just sit back and do what they do best and defend the pass. This is a very winnable game for austin.
Projection for the next 3 games is 2-1 moving austin to 7-6 hopefully remaining 2nd in the division going into the final 3 games.
