Default Strategy for '06

2006 Game Plan

-Control if not dominate time of possession through punishing running game;
-Finish drives with TD's;
-Force opposing offenses to abandon run earlier than they had game-planned
-Unleash opportunistic, blitzing defense and raise potential for turnovers

Result: Win, although not necessarily by large margins.

Predicted record: 16-0 (I mean it).

That's not so much a plan as a wish ... a wish that every team probably enters every game with.

This year, however, the Patriots - who never have had an authentic A-1 offense -
appear to have players who can carry it off.

If we regularly accomplish the first three points, i'm not at all sure that BB would abandon his disciplined defense
for the thrill of #4.
If we manage to build 21-point leads (!) ...
i'd expect BB to simply dare them to grind out a slow comeback.

Here's a good list of things to work on:

- Create Turnovers on defense and Special Teams
- Create a better field position with ST's players
- Sure tackling on special teams
- Mental errors need to be down
- Secure the ball, all positions
- Stay healthy
- Create a solid and cohessive offensive line so they can learn to perfectly work well together
- Create a dominate running game
- A dominate running game will allow to to control pace and tempo of the game
- Time of Possession needs to be a factor in every game


Theres just a few for thought.

Lost in Leinart's success in scrambling up the middle was the fact that Pees was bringing at least 2 blitzers on every passing down.

The Cardinals are where the Patriots were after a few games in 2005. They could not run the football but had a QB and WRs. And a fair but not airtight
Defense.

Teams ignored the rushing threat, and just teed off on the passing game. So did Pees.

Good point and apt analogy.

But, dont fall behind early ..... and be forced to pass into a defense knowing yu have to pass....

Thats why we need to use Brady, the tight ends, the running backs on flat, and screen passes, and the inside of the passing zones, right inthe seams....

Come out conservative, and try to run first, one mistake and we will be in the hole.

Ihate to say this, but we can play a Manning/Colts type of offense, and the big difference is that we have the defense to go with it, they did not.
You've been saying the same things for the past three years that I've been on this board, but everytime you say it, you present it like it's the first time anyone's ever thought of it. Sure, every team should play just like the Colts! Execution? Don't worry about that? Lack of WRs? Who cares?? lol You're hilarious.

Try to run first. If you can't, soften the D with short passes. Once you can run, start using play action.

I don't like the pass-happy offense. I saw too many 3-and-outs with Bledsoe using this strategy. I'd rather try to grind the clock as much as possible.
