Sounds like a great strategy if you have the right people to do it (like taylor)...maybe thats why BB is downplaying this a bit that not a whole lot of teams can apply pressure like the miami front 4 and double the receivers

Tom Brady sounded better than you would expect. He made an interesting point about what makes the Miami defense so tough. He said that they generally double the receivers and leave a safety back to guard against the deep pass. He said that that alignment usually means that the tight end or running back is going to be open. However, when you have to use the back or tight end to help in pass protection against Jason Taylor, it leaves only double-covered receivers to throw to.

SD: Did they try to take away the quick hits from the receivers, the quick adjustments, the Miami defensive backs?
BB: They played a lot of split-safety coverage and kind of doubled up on the receivers, and then they mixed that in with some of the single safety coverage where they pressured. That's pretty much what they normally do. They have different combinations, but that's the basic strategy. And again, they do a good job mixing it up. They have good players.
