Recipe to Beat New England : 3 4th down Conversions

[propagandamachine]

Miami's mistake is trying to go for a shootout with New england. Our recipe especially in the first quarter is simple : convert 3 4th down conversions and simply score 2/3 of those into touchdowns.

can't tell if serious.

of the 3 fourth down conversions they have to result in 2 touchdowns and 3 points .. otherwise forget it. Dont count on turnovers - the fourth down is the best turnover and we have a turnover machine in Mike Tolbert.. man that guy can be our key to riding this team to the Bowl : sniff.. the thought of that happening.

still can't tell if serious.

How bout if instead of 3 fourth down conversions, we convert 100% of our third downs. And no turnovers. :)

I think the key to beating them is to score more points than they do.

The key to beating New England:

 

Do not let Brady get his feet set.  Keep him moving and looking down.  Do not touch him.  If you touch Brady you will get flagged.  You cannot touch him, simple.  If you do you get a Roughing the Brady.  Their offensive line is underrated but the Panthers DL should be good enough to disrupt him.  He often makes 3 reads pretty quickly but after his first two reads, obviously Gronk being a priority, he struggles.  He gets very frustrated and he makes mistakes.  How you can watch this is watching his head.  When he starts looking down a lot you're in his head, you'll see his entire body language change.  If you give him a little bit of confidence you'll see his head come back up.  And, no matter where you are in the 4th quarter - maybe up 4 TD's on him, it will not matter.  He will come back up and be refreshed.  If you want to pressure Brady you disrupt his rhythm, disrupt his timing and get the DL's hands up.  Keuchly will have to be patient because Brady will run it a few times and you will not be able to tackle him down, just patty cake him.  He is good at drawing the flag.

 

Their RB's benefit from Brady.  Neither are anything that should beat you out right.  If you can keep the play from bouncing outside you should be able to limit their run.

 

On offense you will be able to exploit a lot of their weaknesses if you can run up the middle.  With Bianca Wilfork out (Google Vince Wilforks wife, she sits front row every game and cannot be missed in her Miss Piggy Diva attire) you will be helped.  Run up the middle and do not give up just because it failed 4 or 5 times.  Belicheck will not be shy to mix things up and if you give him nothing to hold him back he will tee off.  You'll need some play action and need some misdirection and dump routes.  It could be your TE's biggest and best game if things go well.

 

Special teams, well, you just have to play smart.  NE is a smart well coached team even if they do not play well at every position - play smart and avoid the penalties they generate.

 

Beat them.  Just beat them.  Screw Boston.

Fourth down is the best turnover? Tolbert is a turnover machine?

The key is simple and it's been the same for years. Pressure Brady. He's very immobile, make him move his feet and try to reset. Move him off his spot.

An uncomfortable Brady is a beatable Brady.
