Re: Drew Bledsoe shows true colors
When Bledsoe was here in Dallas, he played OUTSTANDING his first 6 or so games.
However-it's still mystifying how long it took or the G-Nats, Iggles, and Skins to figure him out.
I remember in our first meetings with them, for teams that are blitz-happy/man-man, I was surprised how much rushing 4/cover 2 they played-unsurprisingly, they got torched.
However-in our second meetings with them, they figured it out-Double Cover Terry Glenn, and Blitz him like crazy. All of a sudden, Drew become slow to make his reads, and he started getting sacked nearly every other play. And this became the blueprint thereafter.
Back in '03 when we played the Bills, Parcells did EXACTLY that(double cover Moulds and blitz him like crazy)-so it was ironic why Tuna would make him his guy(again) down the road.
