Every "big" game he played in college he made a monster error late
and he had a rep as a party guy (like leaf)
He is a poor mans Vinny testaverde
Great body
Great thrower
Great at the late pik 6 to blow the game (or cover)
That's why he fell
Re: The actual GAME
They had Smith on Gronk on that play, yes. But they did not have deep help. I think Scott is a mismatch for the Pats to exploit. If Smith picks up Gronk or Hernandez at the line and then has deep safety help, I think that would keep the Pats from exploiting the seam (too...
Re: The actual GAME
I think the jets will use the packages they used versus Indy. Which is very different than how they played versus the Pats last time out.
What that means is, taking Bart Scott out of the game and inserting Eric Smith as the 3rd safety playing the MIKE with Lowery...
Nah, the Pats will attack Cromartie with slants and make him tackle. And they will attack Smith/Pool/Lowery over the middle. And they will target Drew Coleman/Marquis Cole in the slot.
No reason to go after Revis and risk a negative play when you have that many options available (in this Jets...
Revis is where McCourty hopes to be in a year or three.
But he is on the right track.
Like Revis, he has improved every game his rookie year. I wouldn't get hung up on passes defensed or anything like that as stats can vary widely based on team defense, assignment, etc.
I remember the...
Again, I think this is a huge advantage for the Patriots with the wind. Sanchez has struggled in the breeze.
Plus, the wind wouldn't dare blow on Tom Brady...too worried about a league fine (:
Wind is definitely an issue for Sanchez.
For a QB cross winds are the worst. Directly into or against the wind is not as big an issue (unless it is gale force of course)
Maybe someone who goes to alot of Pats home games can answer, doe sthe wind tend to blow end zone to end zone or...
It is a bad blow.
More so for this week as the gameplan was already in (with Jimmy calling it on every defensive snap).
Pool/Smith have been blamed for much of the Jets miscommunication issues back there.
This is a huge help to the Pats offense.
Now that said, the Pats have dealt...
By ''heck of a job'' I mean a 21-38 210 2-1 type game, which by Brady's standards is sub par (and I would probably sign for that from Sanchez right now, which still shows the gap between the two!)
I just think people are underrating the Jets CB's coverage skills and the schemes Rex applies. I...
Look, I respect the Pats more than anyone.
But saying you didn't have half of what you have now back in week 2? You added Branch and Mankins and subtracted Moss. And the playbook, like all teams, expands as the season goes on, I get it. But the Patriots are very similar to what they were in...
I don't really understand this idea. Outside of a few drives recently, the Jets have been outstanding at covering multiple receiver sets. They are very deep at cornerback (with coleman, lowrey, wilson, and cole all playing).
The ONLY area they have struggled with at times has been seam routes...
All of those 141 blitzes were DB blitzes, thats the point. The Jets bring safteys or corners more than any other team in the NFL, and this year at least Brady has been shaky versus that look.
Over 11 games, that means the Jets brought a DB about 13 times a game. Assuming 70 snaps, that is...
According to Rich Cimini at ESPN.COM New York:
The Jets blitz a defensive back more frequently than any other team in the NFL, 141 times or 31 times more often than the next closest.
tom Terrific has a 69.5 passer rating vs. DB blitz's. 7th worst in the NFL with at least 20 attempts...
