Re: What's the defensive gameplan for NE?
5 keys:
1. Use play action on offense. A lot.
2. Give a lot of looks on defense. Drop defensive linemen, zone overload blitz, press cover, etc. Just mix it up
3. Try to throw more earlier in drives. Our offense has been at its best when we stay out of 3rd downs altogether. Treat this game like Canadian Football.
4. If we get into a third and short, RUN THE FOOTBALL. Block for the runner while we are at it.
5. Do not blitz Brady often. Make him show patience. Exploit any weakness forced by a gametime scratch.
