Re: Anyone expect the Pats to no-huddle the crap out of the Jets

Yeah, they'll use some doses of it, but I'm expecting a lot of huddling.

I think you nailed it right on the head. Our enormous number of substitutions is something that really works in our favor, and I don't think we would stop doing that, but if as you say we catch them in a mismatch, you know Brady will get the green light to audible his way down the field, or if he sees something unusual (such as the last play against Chicago in the first half when he saw the deep cover two and held them inside with his eyes and threw outside where Branch had the leverage beat).
That is a big advantage that we have over them because Sanchez has no such privilege.
