In his weekly Bucky's Best series, former NFL player and scout Bucky Brooks highlights the can't-mi s matchups to watch.Most favorable offensive matchup vs. ' defenseHarrison: Power Rankings, Week 2Well, it certainly didn't take long for Elliot Harrison's NFL pecking order to undergo a substantial shake-up ... The ' pa sing game didn't skip a beat against , even without perennial er () lining up in the slot. Manning efficiently picked apart the ' defense, distributing pinpoint pa ses to six different receivers. and accounted for 13 of Manning's 22 completions last Sunday, but could be the focal point against Kansas City in Week 2. With Manning adept at spotting the weak link in coverage, the could light up the scoreboard against a defense that has Tim Hardaway Jr. Jersey struggled since the end of last season.For the to stand a chance, they'll have to find a way to disrupt the timing of the ' pa sing attack. Defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has two elite edge rushers in and , so it's imperative for him to design creative blitzes and stunts that enable the duo to consistently pre sure Manning. On the back end of the defense, Kansas City's corners and safeties must be prepared for picks, rub routes and screens, which Denver deploys against man coverage. Last season, Peyton threw five touchdown pa ses in a at Arrowhead Stadium; if the have any hope of obtaining some road retribution, they must limit the ' explosive plays.Most favorable defensive matchup' D vs. and Co.It's about time the NFL world recognizes for the superb job he's done in Arizona, building an elite defense that can go toe to toe with any offense in the league. The wily coordinator has implemented a versatile attack scheme that features a host of exotic pre sures and blitzes and also rarely surrenders a big play on the perimeter. Most important, the suffocate the running game and force quarterbacks to pa s in long-yardage situations, which plays perfectly into the hands of the team's aggre sive front and opportunistic secondary.All of this does not bode well for the , who have struggled to adapt to new coordinator Ben McAdoo's scheme. The former a sistant has installed a quick-rhythm pa sing game designed to help become a more efficient playmaker from the pocket, but the veteran has struggled to master the nuances of the system. From the to the errant throws delivered from a collapsing pocket, Manning has looked nothing like the two-time winner who has carried the ' offense for so many seasons. With a weakened supporting cast that features only one proven playmaker () and a scattershot running game, New York could have a tough time making plays against one of the league's elite defenses.Best WR-CB matchup, vs. coach 's creative scheming will lead to plenty of opportunities for Colston and Cooks to square off against the cornerback. Colston poses a challenge as a big-bodied pa s catcher with crafty route Frank Ntilikina Jersey running ability and strong hands, while Cooks is a speedster with extraordinary stop-start quickne s. Payton will rotate both players on the outside to test Haden's physicality, agility and technical skills in coverage. In addition, Payton will attack Haden's side with double-moves to see if he can catch the veteran cornerback napping on a big play over the top. Given Cooks' speed and quickne s, it could be the rookie who gets the bulk of the work against the ultra-aggre sive corner this week. Haden, one of the premier cover corners in the game, is the linchpin of the ' forceful blitz scheme. He excels at blanketing receivers in one-on-one coverage while using a variety of techniques that keep opponents' gue sing. With quarterbacks and receivers unable to decipher his intentions prior to the snap, the corner routinely snags interceptions due to communication gaffes and misreads. Although is Willis Reed Jersey rarely fooled by these maneuvers, Haden's tactics could frustrate Colston and Cooks, disrupting their ability to make big-time plays.Most intriguing matchup vs. The Legion of BoomRivers quietly played at an MVP-level last season in 's quarterback-friendly system. The veteran became a more efficient pa ser from the pocket by taking advantage of quick-rhythm throws. Additionally, Rivers avoided forcing pa ses into tight windows, settling for the checkdown when coverage took away vertical routes. As a result, Rivers makes opponents defend the entire field, which eventually allows him to catch defenses out of position for a big play. Rivers used this methodical to move the ball against one of ; he will certainly attempt to attack the ' premier unit in the same way.The ' defense -- loaded with speed, athleticism and physicality -- has befuddled some of the game's top quarterbacks. The defenders fly to the ball like a bunch of wild dogs and rarely concede a yard on the perimeter without a fight. The Legion of Boom in particular makes quarterbacks and receivers earn their keep by challenging them at every turn. While the ' simplistic single-high safety coverage should make it easy for Rivers to make decisive choices in the pocket, the constant hara sment of , , , and by Seattle's long, rangy defensive backs could disrupt the timing and rhythm of the ' pa sing game. Given the lack of succe s others have found against the LOB, Rivers could be in for a long day on Sunday. Best coaching matchup vs. Vic FangioThe ' offense is clearly one of the most explosive units in football under the tutelage of Trestman. The innovative offensive architect regularly creates mismatches on the perimeter through formation and personnel diversity. Trestman's willingne s to think outside the box creates headaches for defensive coordinators who attempt to match up defenders based on offensive formations. With a cupboard loaded with big-bodied pa s catchers and a dynamic running back, the can stump even the most astute defensive play-callers in the game.Fangio has helped the become an elite defensive unit by featuring a simple system that allows a talented lineup to run and chase all over the field. He will mix in a few stunts and blitzes to complement a traditional pa s rush, but the are one of the few teams in the league that just line up and smash their opponents. Against a offense that will throw out a variety of formations and personnel groupings, Fangio's physical and simple approach could help the stifle one of the league's most dynamic offenses.Second-best under-the-radar matchup vs. The might've uncovered a gem in Henderson. The seventh-rounder has solidified the offensive line while displaying the footwork, agility and body control that leads me to believe he could be a -caliber player in time. Henderson's ability to generate a push in the running game has created space for Omari Spellman Jersey the ' deep stable of running backs. But it's the rookie's ability to lock down the edge that has enabled quarterback to throw comfortably from the pocket. Against the , Henderson's skills will be tested by an energetic All-Pro with a non-stop motor and a deep bag of tricks.Wake, a sixth-year pro, is coming off a dominant against and Co. that showcased his rare skills as a pa s rusher. He overwhelmed the ' offensive tackles with his first-step quickne s and explosion, yet he also displayed the strength and power to run over blockers with a bull rush Jacob Evans III Jersey . Given Henderson's inexperience at the position, Wake could throw the book at the youngster; we'll see if Henderson can handle a polished rusher skilled at getting to the quarterback.Bucky's Beast, RB, The three-time er showed the NFL world last weekend that he's still a premier back, notching a 100-yard game against Washington. Foster looked energetic and spry running between the tackles while also showing the power to run through contact in the hole. Although he didn't break off a big-gainer in , he should have plenty of chances to get into the secondary against a defense that struggled to the ' rushing attack.ALREADY COMPLETEDBest under-the-radar matchup: vs. , After failing to muster a consistent running game with in the first half against Cincinnati in Week 1, Baltimore turned to Forsett and his slithery running style to spark the offense. The seventh-year pro gained 70 yards on 11 rushes, steadying the ship with a solid 6.4 yards per carry. Given 's struggles in a pa s-heavy game plan (the are 7-11 when he throws 40-plus times in a game), it might be wise for coordinator to feed the ball to Forsett to alleviate the pre sure on his quarterback. If Forsett can top the 100-yard mark as the ' primary runner, Baltimore could get back on track Thursday night.For the , Shazier and Timmons must do a better job controlling the middle against the run. The fact that the duo struggled to slow (183 rushing yards) could spur the to test the interior with a host of zone runs. If the can stop the run on early downs, they can unleash a ferocious pa s rush to hara s and disrupt Flacco's rhythm in the pocket.Follow Bucky Brooks on Twitter .
