He said it himself. A 3 man rush is killing this offense. You can say all you want about the Brady, who apparently sucks this year according to fans. Maroney, who sucks according to everyone even though he continues to get no blocking. Now I guess Moss is in that group as well?
We can pass the blame all we want or think with common sense. When you have EIGHT guys dropped into coverage with an effective 3 man rush you can't do anything, that's pretty unstoppable for a defense. The fact is, this O line continues to let teams do it. They continue to get bullied week in and out. They were overrated in 07, and have become ****ies ever since. From Koppen, to RG and RT drastic changes have got to be made.
This Patriots team is flawed deeply when it comes to the defensive front 7 and the OL. How in the hell did we expect to win with this? We have a G in Neal, who for the five games that hes ever healthy is a good guard. He just can't stay with it anymore. You have Kazcur who is a turn style. Don't even get me started on Koppen. You know why those QB sneaks don't work anymore? Our center is soft.
There's a reason Brady is running for his life, Maroney is on/off. No player in the backfield has the protection to do so. They need to fix the OLine big time. Do this, and suddenly these players being criticized shine.
