I applaud your effort to turn the other cheek.
OT- How much does the Jags' DT tandem effect Peyton, btw? Have they been able to really disrupt the interior of the pocket, as well as play the run?
The regular season matchup last year against the Colts was really frustrating from a Pats fan perspective, because I felt the DL and LBs played really well up front, stopping the run and putting pressure on Peyton, but he was able to find the holes in coverage (primarily Hobbs and Samuel), even while running for his life. The second half of the playoff loss was just as frustrating (from a defensive perspective) because it was almost the exact opposite; they had trouble against the run, and pressure was inconsistent later in the game, but the CBs played really well. Jax seems to play a really balanced D and can take away the running game with their line, while still playing good coverage. Tough match-up.
