No YAC for the receivers and play bend don't break. Play mostly a cover 3 giving up everything under 5 yards and blitz when they hit the red zone. Brady is awesome and very patient so expect to give up 3 points per possession. I think Springs can muscle Moss enough to limit him and Landry and ST need to drill anyone who gets a hand on the ball. Keep the Tackles in tight and force running plays outside where Rocky and MW (who hopefully can play) can limit the RB's if they run.
The best D is going to be Mike Sellers. Stop laughing and hear me out. If Sellers can pound out 3.4 YPC we can have some really long drives, 20+ plays. If we can limit the number of combined possessions to 8 or 9 we might be able to squeeze out a 21-12 victory.
