Bruschi breakdown on Miami vs. Pats

Bruschi is always a good read. Great breakdown:

Tedy Bruschi on Tap: Five observations from the New England Patriots' victory - ESPN Boston

Nice job by Bruschi. I kept feeling like he was trying no to use "we" when referring to the Pats, but it's probably just me projecting.

After a successful 38-yard field goal, Gostkowski blasted his kickoff through the end zone, only to learn that he had to re-kick after safety James Sanders was flagged for being offside.

Holly crap! I thought this guy was still injured. For all the people that praised James Sanders, it didn't take much to unseat him, did it? McGowan and Chung just stole his job! Sanders is a decent back up at best, but he's not anything near starter material.

It helped me understand why TBC whiffed so bad on White, on that long run play. Turns out that exposed the weakness the Pats had on the White WC, they didn't have an assignation for either the pitch or option man.

Then they made a great in-game adjustment, assign first man to pitch, 2nd man to option. That stopped it for good, the rest of the game.
