(And yes, an underlying assumption of mine is that our defense will not stop Brady more than 2 drives, maybe 3)

In this situation, I look at more yard per carry, 4.2, than yards per game. 4.2 ypc is the highest of those ranked yard per game in the top 14, so to me its more middle of the pack.

I just dont see that "scary" defense. Chandler Jones, a couple linebackers are probably their most talented players on defense. Their secondary plays well as a unit, but each one is beatable with the right match up.


OTM
I dont know if its 3rd and long that plays into their hands....but more than opposing teams down 2 touchdowns in the second quarter and folks go one domensional which does...
abandoning the run is the dumbest thing we can do.

Obviously we disagree, but I think saying abandoning is not exactly what I am pushing for. I think we should come out pass strong, and mix runs in, not run heavy and using passes at obvious points. We have several good passing weapons we ought to use and not be tied to a mindset of rushing good/passing bad. KC has shown he is capable of driving an offense down the field, and we ought to see if he is capable of it for a whole game.
