OK GW.....release the hounds!

You can't be too critical of our D up until last week, even then they just got worn out.

I was however disappointed w/GW's game plan v. the pats. It seemed that he didn't throw any blitzes at them. I know there are tons of ways to mix up coverages to give the qb a different look and try to confuse him, but play after play if he knows you're only sending 4 & his linemen can handle it (which they did save for Daniels' coverage sack), then he's going to scan the field & you know somebody is open. Our corners did a great job against NE, it was the underneath stuff that killed us.

I really feel like GW would approach the Pats entirely differently if given a second chance. I sure hope that Gibbs didn't give him orders not to blitz at all.

This week, let Laron & Rocky have at least a few shots at the young qb!

Blitzing Tom Brady really is the last thing you want to do. Of all the QBs in the league, he's by far the coolest under pressure. He stays poised and delivers the ball to his outlet, or stares down the rush and launches a bomb over your head. You've got to be patient and try to shut down his WRs, and hope your front 4 can get there.

Really against the Pats, you're damned if you blitz and nearly as damned if you don't. They're just at a whole other level. They put up 49 or whatever against Dallas, so don't read much into it. The Pats are just awesome; it doesn't necessarily say we stink on D.
