Defense needs to make a stop here

Haley · Dec 14, 2014

Wow, they put the real Brady in. His stunt double from the first half must be tired out.

Seriously, any other QBs would have slid there. Brady takes the hit, then gets up and trash talks! Love it!

You guys are right. I do see a big difference running Gray on first down than Vereen or Blount.

Vereen's not a great between the tackles option, and to my eyes Blount seems to have trouble when he's the feature guy and the offensive line doesn't have a decisive edge over the defensive line. Gray's skillset (vision!) makes him best suited to take the workhorse role in this kind of matchup.

The strategy was fine, but why Vereen on all three plays, with a play that has proven to ineffective almost always (ignoring the TD earlier bc it suits my argument)?

Give Blount or gray at least one of those runs if that's the way you want to play it. Not to mention the fact that they have a better chance of "eating more clock" as opposed to Vereen getting stuffed instantly 3 times in a row.

Vereen didn't get stuffed every play. He ran to the sidelines on one play for about 15 yards. It takes as much time running 15 yards sideways as it does up field unless you get slowed down on the run.

FWIW: Jimmy "Prince Aladdin" Garoppolo put his helmet on after the Brady 17-yard run, just in case the QB was banged up. Quickly took it off

OT - Gary Busey resurrects his career by playing a complete parody of himself in dumb commercials...land of opportunity indeed...

The defenses will have to account for Brady's running ability now... Maybe?[emoji41]

English Patriot · Dec 14, 2014

RGBrady takes over again like last week, except it was an even better run!

Guts · Dec 14, 2014

Game threads overeactions are hilarious. Majority of you had the Pats dead at the half

How many minutes ticked off the clock during Brady's scramble?

We don't know that. We are basing this on one game against a soft defense in Indy. A defense that allowed Blount to run all over them in the playoffs last year.

SVN · Dec 14, 2014

lets hope the D gets it act together and doesnt give up cheap completions and PIs. have to stop their run.

DefenseRules · Dec 14, 2014

no more Butler in the secondary read please

DreamWino · Dec 14, 2014

looks like the dog leash, I mean resistance band, training has worked wonders on Brady's speed

PatriotSeven · Dec 14, 2014

Prince Alladin needs to keep rubbing that helmet for now.

DefenseRules · Dec 14, 2014

Defense shut this guy down please

manxman2601 · Dec 14, 2014

So according to Ben Volin, Brady is our leading rusher today. Dual Threat?

We don't know how good Gray is, sure. We do know that neither Blount nor Vereen are going to cut it in this matchup. Basically what I am saying is I'd like at least see Gray get a shot to see what he can do.
