The West Lot Pirates are working on a little project that will probably serve as a discussion piece on our next podcast. In advance of that, we wanted to ask the board for a little help!
Consider the rosters of the following two teams. Imagine they are going to play head-to-head, and reply to this post with your answers to the following 3 questions:
1.Who ya got?
2.Is it close, or does your team run away with it?
3.Regardless of which team you picked, would your decision change if Justin Jackson switched teams?
A couple of notes:
--Starters and reserves are listed for each team. Value depth as much or little as you want.
--Team A is obviously younger, so feel free to be as optimistic or as pessimistic as you'd like relative to the talent on the roster.
--Let's assume Team A operates out of a more Bajakian-style(we think) double tight-end offense(better fit for the personnel). Team B runs a more traditional Northwestern spread.
