here's the link for the Can't blog on ohio.com click meman, i thought we had it bad! i thought maybe Can't would keep it close if jarvis were to make it back but with out him they have no offense.

This was touched on in ESPN.com's national nonBCS blog.Can't and Akron battle health issues for rivalry gameEven with Alex Allen and Andrew Johnson out we're still better off at RB than them, since Jarvis will be out.

So long as Edelman is on the field, their offense will be formidable enough. Don't think they'll consistently stop our offense though.

You mean when he's not fumbling or throwing interceptions? He'll hit 10 turnovers for the season in this game. That makes K-ent's QB alone a -10 in the turnover margin. Every bit of good he does with his feet, he cancels out with his clumsiness. That being said, the kid tends to have a good time vs. Akron defenses. Do we play 4 DL now that K-ent has instituted a pseudo-option offense?

Good points, RowdyZip, although I think Edelman's TO's are usually a result of him trying to do too much. He looks anything but clumsy to me out there. I would think the defensive game plan would be to try to make him beat us with his arm. It's not like he can't throw effectively. It's just that I think he poses a larger risk with his legs. I do like the idea of going with 4 DL's, at least some of the time. With Edelman's elusiveness, we may need to play the "speed" DL's a bit more (Lemon, Sewell) though. I'm not saying that we don't rotate (depth is an advantage we don't want to squander in this game), but maybe it should be more on a situational basis.
