NFL Films has footage of a corner saying that defensive coaches warned him not to engage with Hannah on sweeps--just get down on the ground! You see people just exploding off-screen after he hit them. Cornfed O-linemen will hurt you.
While we applaud the usually unpredicatable Patriot playcalling, lack of run calls with a lead like this is either dumb or arrogant. Josh McDaniels can choose which one it is.
We're on to Philly baby.
Hart Lee Dykes, a wideout drafted first round 1989 to compliment Irving Fryar I believe. Known for smacking his hands at footballs as if they were hornets rather than passes to be caught, he was injured every other week and flamed out quick.
Not really my friend. The numbers speak for themselves in the quite large sample of Patriot playoff games: Patriots win with some balance in offense, and lose badly with the pop gun mentality. There were still 20+ minutes to play.
We lost battle of trenches on O-line because the white flag was flying on the running game by halftime. Contrast it to Seattle: Marshawn Lynch had 33 yards at the half, getting stuffed pretty regularly. Seattle kept with the run, and it paid off. The Patriots offiense was reduced to a pop gun...
This is the best I've felt about a Patriots defense since 2003-2007. Once we get some weapons back like Gronk, Amendola and the rookies have time to sync up, we will roll some dirty bastards in November.
