Patricia can dial up some pressure on Sanchez from different angles. This would be a great game to experiment with blitz packages.

Actually the historical data shows we win when we don't blitz a lot and lose when we do vs. Sanchez. He's one of those mistake makers Bill's scheme tends to account for even if it looks ugly in the process. You want to pressure him for sure, but you also want to contain him and frustrate him via coverage.

Good defenses can blitz and cover tightly at the same time.

Some pressure and sacks early will rattle him enough that he'll fold like a cheap suit.

Contain the run early to make him try and beat you thru the air.

He's no Manning !

Vollmer traveled with the team to NY which would lead you to believe they expected him to play, so that sounds a little less like a plan to rest.

He has been questionable all year and toughing it out. Short rest must have been too much. Big shoes to fill.

Some pre game warmup positional tweets


Jeff Howe‏@jeffphowe

With Wilson in second safety group RT @B_Millaa: @jeffphowe Chung?

4mMike Reiss‏@MikeReiss

In warmups, Alfonzo Dennard at RCB over Kyle Arrington with top unit. Devin McCourty at safety alongside Steve Gregory. Will see if it holds

4mGreg A. Bedard‏@GregABedard

Hernandez looks much better in warmups than he did before the three weeks off.

I hope Hernandez has a huge day.

Go Pats !!
