Yup, Lewis on Hernandez would be a total mismatch. As far as coverage, Lewis does not have the wheels. But it's never been about his footspeed. Lewis has the experience and the intelligence to establish excellent position through anticipation. He also quarterbacks his defense as well as any linebacker in the league and gets his guys in the right spots as well.

Plus, the dude hits like a mack track if you get anywhere close to him, and is surprisingly effective on blitzes up the middle. The Pats are well aware of Lewis' strengths and weakenesses, and overall, this is still a guy you want to avoid except of course when working the passing routes with speedier, athletic players. I think Vereen and Hernandez will be key guys for us to attack this matchup.

In the Denver game, every pass made in his area was completed. Please explain how that is not a liability.

Please don't offer statistics to support arguments, that's frowned upon......stats like holding the Denver offense to 21 points in 6 quarters. Holding the Denver rushing game to 3.0 yds/carry.Making 10 tackles and performing several nifty dances while playing with the flue.
Lewis is not a Patriot therefore he is a fraud. Got it.

He's less stout due to injury, but running right at him is also running right at Ngata. Counters to make him chase and passing plays designed to match him up against a RB would be the best way to go.

Ngata hasn't been that good either. I agree with the counters because he is selling out on the misdirection. But there is a reason why Denver felt they could exploit them in the middle. And they could have if they had Mcgahee, Moreno in particular and Hillman to a lesser extent simply did not attack the lanes that were available to them right up the gut.
