I have to get myself TIVO....there's too much I need to know and I don't have game film to watch it again unless i borrow a sopy from someone.
My question to the TIVO people here is this:
Seau is in on many running plays and he was more than Bruschi. I noticed Bruschi was dropping back into coverage alot which Belichick has done that in the past.
But we seemed a bit soft right there in the interior of the field up to 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. whenever there was a tackle there I did not see Bruschi. When there were tackles to either side of the middle I did see Bruschi.
So...I realized in my disspear from the game going bad that I negelected to see if Rodney was in coverage or was he just there for run support and Bruschi was covering more than Harrison.
Two Part Question:
1- Is Rodney being utilized less in coverage this year due to injury?
His tackle #'s are on par with his past play...I can't see the coverages without film.
2-Can we hold up against the run with Bruschi doing major coverage work?
Mcginest used to be great at setting the edge forcing the play inside...
Perhaps Colvin can not set the edge as well and with Bruschi in coverage we have more softness there in the middle than in the past when healthy?
Just curious...not complaining...wondering if I'm seeing it right or if anyone has a differing viewpoint. If I'm right...I'm sure Belichick will correct it but at what expense? Sanders is not playing well at all...if Rodney goes down we have huge problems in the middle all over again.
