Re: Patriots' passing game: great or not?
The NE passing attack should be excellent. But with Tom Brady at QB, that is not a new development.
We match up as well as anybody in the league against the patriots receivers if Springs is with the team and healthy. Unfortunately, we will not be generating any pressure on Brady unless we blitz. Giving Brady all day back there is not a workable game plan, so we'll have to blitz too much and as a result will probably give up some big plays. Moreover, since the Pats generally favor quick drops and fast reads, they are not a great team to blitz against in the first place. GW will have to be incredibly creative to keep that offense off balance. Our offense will really have to show up to keep that game close. Of course, that game is not going to be played for a long time. A lot can happen between now and then.
