gronk doesn't have to be that important......he just brings something to the table that the pats didn't have in the last game.....
they won't be putting a DB on gronk as long as henrnadez is out there, too.....
the texans defense is simply weakest in the worst possible spot right now......short middle is going to kill them........it all kind of caves in from there
if I was the texans, I would strictly play nickle and make the pats running game beat me with what I can defend from there.
this ain't the bengals......every target the pats have goes into the middle short save lloyd
as for slowing watt? simple pump fakes gets him into the air.....mix in some hurry up and he will be begging to get off of the field
I have a funny feeling deion branch is going to figure prominently in this game.....I think he's another one who will get ignored and burn them for it
Yep. Let's say they play the Pats ala 2010 NYJ. Flood the middle of the field. Win the 1:1s on the line, send 3-5 lineman, blitz a few times and totally befuddle TB. Differences....
LLoyd > Branch
Ridley > BJGE
2012 AH > 2010 hurt AH
2012 Gronk > 2010 Gronk
Line is better. Depth is better, etc.
We've seen the 2012 offense get slowed down for sure and with TOs, 4 man pass rush, this offense can be slowed down.
I think the key is McDaniels. He needs to be patient, attack and if the run game is there, then run the damn ball.
