Skins v. Pats Pregame Thread

[over the mountain]

30 - good analysis. Riley/robinson/compton are not going to be able to cover lewis, Gronk, Edleman, Amendola and LaFell (who they say they love).

I really hope we have Hall, Breeland and Culliver back. that way we can play breeland in the slot and have Jarrett play a ton of snaps as well .. basically be in nickel the whole game. Its asking a lot, but jarrett is a tweener btw safety and corner and may be a decent matchup w gronk, at least size/physicallity wise.

As long as Knighton, baker, hatcher, paea, kerrigan, murphy and smith can handle the front and get pressure .. that may allow us to play 4 corners in nickel.

really hope D jax comes out and does his thing right away. we need his presence desperately. at least the pats have to scheme for him this week.

“He does a lot of things well, seems like a really smart guy,” Belichick said of Cousins on Monday. “He runs the offense well. They had some check plays and things like that, he does a good job there. He’s pretty athletic. Even though he hasn’t run a lot, but he moves around quite a bit. They run bootlegs, moving pocket plays, things like that, so he definitely has the quickness to create a little bit of extra time to throw.”

Go on…

“He does a good job at finding and using all his receivers,” Belichick said later. “Running backs, tight ends, and multiple wideouts — they play a lot of people in the passing game. He definitely spreads it around. He’s done a good job at controlling the clock and making key passes to keep drives going.”
