Outscore them.

Im sure Derry would loathe to move Rodgers back into the FB line but if Armagh line out with Turbitt, Murnin and Rian in thre they'll have to consider it. No team likes the high ball in, Derry didnt look great under it yesterday.

Armagh will already know their game plan against Derry whose Achilles heel is also high balls into defence.

Every defence, and I mean every defence has problems under the high ball.

Only reason they aren't found out is it's not tried half enough.  All about playing safe and keeping possession nowadays.

In saying that, the high ball in could be the new fad in gaelic football this year.

You've heard it here first!

Won't happen.
Derry won't change their entire structure and strategy for armagh.
You can guarantee Rogers will remain outfield.
But the way derry play, anyone could be anywhere at any time.
I hesitate to use the term, but it looks like a "total football" approach.
That said, goals are leaking in this year, but we are scoring more heavily from all over the field.
I think derry will back themselves to outscore armagh by doing g what we do.

McCluskey will shut down Turbitt, Chrissy likewise on Murnin. Can see McGrogan tracking O'Neill. He's the conundrum!

He could. Mc Cluskey likes to attack.

What better way to put Turbitt on the back foot?

I thought O'Neill was average enough today, still looks off the pace with that Quad injury, couldn't be fully over it.

Armagh won't get the space they had today.
Mckaigue will go man to man on who ever Gallagher perceives to be the greatest threat, after that Derry will attack from the back.
Armagh look very fit, whereas I think monaghan ran out of steam a bit 
Has the makings of a good game.

He's average more often than not

Rodger's is much better at midfield than FB and think Gallagher won't want him anywhere near FB
