This is what I'm both interested in and afraid of watching in our game today. Can we put a choke collar on the NE O? Are we going to give NE all those short passes we've been giving up a lot this year? Scary stuff to me.

Brady kills the bend but don't break Ds. We can't give their O an inch.
 
Wentz is still elite....its just that mcdougle got in the way of wentzs beautiful pass.;)
 
We need our edge rushers to get after Brady and sniff out screens. I remember when Greg Hardy disrupted the hell out of Brady. He's human under pressure so it's the only answer. But last time we played and I think were even winning, they adjusted with illegal picks and we responded to that with nothing but poor coaching and a big L.

If we don't pressure Brady, we've lost the game before it starts.

Brady isn't a great scrambler, and he likes to step up in the pocket. We need to get through the center of the line to have the best shot at disrupting him.
 
A healthy LVE would have been a bonus in this game. DLaw, Quinn and Bennett need to come up big vs Brady's pocket.
 
Another facet being completely missed is NE's running game. W/ Michel and White and Harris and Burkhead(whichever ones made the team and aren't injured), NE has a fine running game, and we have issues vs the run.
 
That's the bugaboo of the bend but don't break defense that Marinelli and Richard so favor. :(

They'd better be more aggressive in this game or else, suffer the consequences that come! :rolleyes:
 
I think the weather will have more of an impact on the Patriots offense than the Cowboys defense. The Cowboys are weak exactly where the defense needs to be strong to stop Brady. The middle of the defensive line.

I completely agree. I just don't think we have the firepower for that approach. Collapsing the pocket isn't our strong suit. I can see Smith blitzing up the middle repeatedly to try and help that along, though.
