Great stuff....real football talk instead of who deserves MVP after week 13 (guilty).
The still photos confirm what I thought I was seeing on the boob tube.
First, Talib lacks acceleration and it has been more than apparent for 3 games. WRs easily gain a few steps when Talib turns his hips.
Second, the Patriots have yet to figure out whose responsibility it is to cover releasing TEs and RBs. I call it the coin flip defense. Flip a coin to see if we cover the TE or RB....then hope the QB doesn't find the wide open other guy. Verses Miami, I can understand that the defense is essentially spying both Bush and the mobile Tannehill. And when play action is part of the equation, the likelihood of a breakdown gets multiplied.
Looking ahead to the Houston game, I fear the play action is gonna hurt NE badly and Daniels will be roaming free while the LBs have their focus on Foster. Schaub isn't Tannehill and Andre Johnson isn't Hartline. The Flying Elvii need to tighten this thing up. I'm expecting a shootout Monday...similar to the Baltimore game
