How to beat the Patriots.


Fan01

Recommended Posts

Tom Brady and the Patriots have the rep of being unbeatable.  Of Brady being smarter than any defense and along with Belicheat figuring out how to stomp a mudhole in the opposition.

 

I want to know specifically how we're going to beat them and why.

 

Here is my take.

 

1.  Pressure.  Brady does not do well with pressure up the middle especially.  We just happen to have a few guys that can collapse that pocket like there is no tomorrow.  Star is going to be key for this game and I love how they move CJ and the Kraken around on that line to get more pressure up the middle.  Look at teams that beat up on the Pats.  The Giants when their D-line was lights out.  The Jets earlier this season.

 

2.  Confuse Brady.  Brady is really good at reading a defense so we have to keep changing it up and I've seen us do that quite a bit.  I've seen a number of times where DE will drop into coverage when a LB blitzes or a safety.  We've got the talent to switch it up.  DE that can drop into pass coverage and not get their lunch eaten.   We don't have to get exotic we just have to get Brady to take that extra second and not give him the chance to figure out where to go with ball presnap.

 

3.  Control the clock and run the ball.  Can you guess who leads the NFL in time of possession?  Yep, we do.  Brady says on the bench and we pound their line with the run.  Anyone wanna guess who's 30th in the league in run defense?  Yep, the Pats.  Add in some Cam runs and make them account for him and it's going to get ugly.  Tolbert is going to hurt somebody (again) or D-lo is going to snap some tired defender's ankles.  

 

 

I think this is what it will take the be in the game and have a chance to win.  What makes me feel very confident is that this years Panthers are built for those things, especially 1 and 3.

I was watching NFL Matchup today and they specifically singled out #59 and showed when the TE he's guarding turns his head, Luke does it as well resulting in picks and breakups. I think Gronkz is going to have a tough night. Brady isn't going to have the time that he had during the Steeler game to pick us apart down field. 

 

I'll be interested to see how Ron and Sean defend the Pats three tight end sets, but I have faith in Thomas "the Terminator" Davis, and AJ "The Hebrew Hammer" Klein (forgive me if he isn't jewish, it's just too funny). Ron had the reputation of defeating Payton while he was at the Chargers, I'm expecting some of the same against Brody...

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
