What am I missing with Cannon being put on an island with Miller all game, he had little TE help or chip blocks from RB's. It felt like every single time he was left with no help Miller had a free run at Brady. That is just unacceptable, and as bad as Cannon played I honestly don't fault him...he's not a mobile lineman, leaving him to cover the MOST athletic edge rusher in football by himself is a recipe for disaster.
The solution, of course, is 'bring in better linemen', but then the line looked like a strength for the team a few weeks into the season before the injuries started piling up. Healthy Solder, then Vollmer's over there. Once you lose that LT things go to hell on any team. So yea, another quality tackle would help, but ultimately they need health and consistency. And at least for this game I blame the coaching. Why didn't they run some passes over Miller's head as he was coming in practically free (ala Edelman in the flat on that failed 4th down), you try to neutralize the pressure with plays in that direction.
I don't know...it wasn't pretty, and Brady was clearly rattled but still battled like a champion. Tip your cap to the Denver D and especially Miller but there was a huge dose of bad coaching imo that contributed to the offensive struggles.
