Patriots gameplan shouldn't be hard to figure - New England Patriots Forums

I asked this on the Jets forum and not one guy answered me yet.

If the Patriots go empty backfield and lineup Moss, Stallworth, Welker, Gaffney and Watson who do the Jets counter with in the secondary and Dline?

Do you think Rhodes will come on a blitz and do you think they'll try that Patriots motion presnap stuff with 5 wides drooling looking across the line of scrimmage?

Agreed. The Pats have WAY more speed than last year and the presence of Stallworth and Moss means deep help is mandatory, but that should leave all kinds of lanes for Maroney.

Or the Pats could do what they did against Carolina and run 20 straight times to diminish the blitzing. I expect alot of diversity in formations.

I think that Pats come out running like they did against Tennessee.
Then they'll start throwing and mixing it up.

On the first play from scrimage I'd like the Pats to look throw a deep bomb to Moss as the first progression. If he's double covered then check down to Welker in the middle of the field for a nice 10-15 yard gain.

I don't know. I'd hate to see him pull a hammy with a fullout sprint on the first play. hopefully this has been a smokescreen

I think it's all BS.........when Moss is on the field in a real game he isn't coming out.

I do see the Jets blitzing until the Patriots show that Brady and his WR's are in sync.

I won't be surprised if we come out throwing the ball alot tomorrow. I think Billy B. knows he can beat the Jets with either the run or pass. BB is always thinking ahead (ya...I know, one game at a time) But, it wouldn't surprise me if he is setting up the Chargers to keep their safeties out of Brady's kitchen next weekend.

Keep those safties back this year....or your going to get killed

I will be very surprised if they come out running. They have never been able to just pound it on the ground. With Brady and all the new speed they will attack and make the Jets defend the perimeter. I look for spread formations. If the Jets load up with DBs, gash with Maroney.

You said Maroney earlier in the thread too.
The premise, however, is that Maroney is not on the field.
(5 wides + Brady + 5 OLs = 11.)
