Johnson Welker big loss for Patriots 010310 - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN

this is a big test for bill obrien how he uses faulk and others to move the ball and get the running game going which stalled on sunday.

...I agree, the key is Faulk in many respects. Baltimore feasts on predictable offenses, throwing wildcards into the mix makes them back up a step. They try to out 'physical' opposing teams rather than outsmart them. The Pats coaching staff is pretty good at finding the chinks in the armour, this game (and the rest of the way) will come down to execution...

Good read. Kinda validates in my mind the different areas of the offense Welker has a favorable impact on.

Go Edelman!!!

I really like reading pieces like this by ex coaches who just know the game so well. You come away with the impression that Johnson has forgotten more about playing football than 99% of us know about it or will ever know about it in our lifetimes.
