Kicking game big in this and we have a great punter.

Defense needs to continue with a 4 man rush and Carter and company have a much better game. Our LB's need to play run when they are in tight and drop into aggressive zones when they spread us out. Sean Taylor plays deep all day to make sure Moss doesn't have that easy score. Springs and Rogers tight and looking to make plays. NO BLITZES EARLY! Brady will not be beaten by our blitz we will. Continue what they have been doing and we score another td on Defense here. We are by far the best defense they have faced and will beat them on Sunday.

HAIL!!!!!!

I'll agree with one, we probably have the best D they have faced. But it could be they have made teams D's that bad by the ass whipping they have been handing out.

I dont know what kind of scheme we should or will use. Its got its faults either way. Run, run, run, ball control..eat the clock score few points. Attack the D with passing and risk 3 and outs and the D is on the field more. Its a toss up. We have to try and limit the pats touches offensively as best we can. They are a team that can sustain long scoring drives by throwing the ball. Now w/ Maroney back, they will try and run a little more to get our safeties up. This is not the Olines we have faced, their Oline is VERY GOOD. Hardly anyone has put consistant pressure on Brady, either with the Blitz or not. I think if we can get some hits on the recievers early, BIG HITS we may be able get them a little hesitant and looking for defenders before catching the ball. Brady is so calm under pressure I just dont know if its possible to rattle him with blitzing.

i hope we keep it close. if we get a couple of turnovers on their side of the 50 we need to convert those into TD's. we definately need to be more aggressive with the down field passing. even if its just to keep the safeties honest.
