Last time we played them, our D-Line, co-anchored by Kyle Love of all people, held Marshawn Lynch to 41 yards on 15 carries. Don't get me wrong, Lynch is an explosive player and can catch the ball well out the back field, but I don't see him being the biggest difference maker in this game.
Revis takes away Baldwin and Browner/McCourty should contain Kearse. I think Luke Willson, their TE, will have a big game. I feel like the defensive gameplan will be similar to when we played the Bills and Colts, where Scott Chandler and Colby Fleener were left free to roam, while we took away everything else underneath. It's a bend but don't break mentality, but in a game like this, against a sputtering offense like Seattle's, it should work.
And yes, Seattle does have a great defense, but if Stork is healthy, I feel pretty good about scoring. Their D-Line barely touched Rodgers all game yesterday and he had plenty of time to throw. Again, we know that if you give Brady time, he'll quickly pick you apart.
If Rodgers can shred Seattle's D on one leg, with no practically no TE, then I feel pretty damn good with Gronk, the best in the NFL, over the middle and Edelman, LaFell and company slotted outside. Oh and if Sherman and Thomas are banged up, oh boy....
Fret not, the Legion of Boom are human after all. Should be a great game.
