Kevin Faulk is going to have the game of his life.

This man is severely underrated in terms of production and clutch first down pick ups. If we go underneath to Faulk tomorrow, it's going to be a long and painful day for the Chargers.

The Chargers LB's are a pretty fast blitzing group, but not fast enough where Tom can't pick up on it and dump it.

kevin faulk is under rated, I always say that every time the guy runs. I hope he has a huge game sunday, that'd be great.

kevin faulk is our reggie bush. there isnt much difference between the two besides age. i'd like to see him get recognition someday, he def gets into the pats hof.

I agree, Kevin will have a big game as will Wes. I've always said Kevin Faulk is one of the most important players on this team, and without him we wouldn't be nearly as good. It seems like every time we need a big play, for as long as I can remember, this guy has been there.

We do have lots of options against the blitz. If I were SD I would try pressuring Brady, it likely won't work but not pressuring him is guaranteed not to work.

If San Diego brings the blitz tomorrow, they will lose. Jaworski said that Brady has been blitzed more than any QB has this season, and the result was that Brady won his first MVP award and set QB records. The Jaguars played the right strategy against the Pats by not blitzing-- that game would have been a lot closer if the Jags had better receivers. The only thing teams can do is try to get fumbles on those dunk passes by hitting guys like Faulk and Welker hard, or otherwise just make our receivers get afraid to get hit so they don't run crisp routes.

They'll have to bring some sort of a blitz. I'm sure after watching last weeks game films, they certainly won't leave Brady unmolested in the pocket a la Jacksonville. Faulk, Welker, and Watson should have a great day catching the stuff short.
Would be nice to see Maroney having another day like he did with the Jaguars and take some of the pressure off Brady.

I see some well designed Maroney screens, as well as the quick hit receiver screens to Donte & Jabar.
SD is a solid tackling, fast bunch, so these plays may or may not be effective immediately, but it will help wear down the D as the game goes along.

Im not sure how a strategy that sees Brady going 26-28 with one of the 2 incompletions being a terrible drop is the right thign to do.
Personally, I dont think doing the same thing consistently, no matter what it is will ever stop this offense.
If I'm devising the gameplan to stop the Pat offense, I am going to constantly change what I do. That way, you stand the chance of putting the Pats into something they aren't expecting. If they know what you are going to do, and have the right play called against it you have absoilutely no chance.
