Do not try to run the ball into the Ravens defense, especially on first and ten or second and long.
Do not, under any circumstances, run the ball out of the shotgun.
Although it is something he does not do, there have to be more plays in which Brady rolls out of the pocket and passes.
If throwing deep, dump the sideline fly pattern, and go deep post instead.
Use Edelman in some sort of situations where he can use the talents he had as a quarterback. (Pitchouts, direct snap, etc.) Sure, this would be something new, and untested, but
if they try to play it straight against the Ravens defense, this game will be over by halftime.
Defensively, Flacco will pick them apart if the Pats play soft and do not apply presssure. The time is now for an occasional safety, or cornerback, blitz.
A lot of stunting and movement by the defensive seven needs to be done instead of the basic set that they always seem to get into showing no movement along the line prior to the snap.
I am far from an expert, but what I have suggested seems, IMO as a football fan, not a coach, seems to be good advice.
This is the game that the Pats need to be a different team on the field, one that the Ravens will not expect to see, on both sides of the ball. The time for change is NOW. (Gee, that sounds political and it is not intended to be.
)
