Down the line, this adversity should be a boon for our team, assuming we can get pass this adversity.
Players like Ball, Ogletree, and Robinson having to step up for us, is really going to make a difference in terms of quality of depth and experience later on.
I'm one of those who certainly has his doubts about ogletree, but i hope he can prove me wrong. I really would have liked some more qualified veteran on the squad, but hopefully Romo can put it all together.
I really feel like the crux of the season is the week 6 game against the Patriots. I'm not looking past the Lions, who I really hope we can overcome our injuries to beat. If we can accomplish that and come back healthy against the Patriots with their league worst ranked defense, I think we can really put a stamp on this season.
The key to winning the patriot game is really not letting Tom Brady abuse you. Which means taking Wes Welker out of the equation. I live in Boston, so I see a few patriots games... A lot of teams will put linebackers on wes welker in the slot and wonder why they're getting gashed... The bills did this last week. Clearly you need to respect him more than that.
I think our secondary actually matches up really well with them. Other than Chad Johnson, none of their receivers are very tall. I think Jenkins and Newman will certainly be able to take out welker and branch.
The biggest problem is Gronkowski. It really comes up to Sensabaugh to take him out of the game, but he was able to take Fred Davis and Vernon Davis out of those games. Gronkowski is 6'6, and can be a matchup nightmare.
Brady has 133 passing attempts. Welker has 42 targets. 31% of the time. 12% goes to Gronkowski. 21 percent goes to TE2 Hernandez/Deon Branch.
Any ways I think we line up really well with them. Rob Ryan has been able to beat Brady with less to work with on defense, and obviously without an offense to support him.
It's the single most important game on the schedule for me. I live in Boston, and obviously all my friends are pats fans.... I want this win, and I want it bad.
