I had a dream about the Jets game. Hear me out.
In this dream, the Pat's got the ball first and made it to the 35. No clue who got it there.
The first play was a play-action pass, fake to (I think Maroney) and a long Bomb to Moss for a TD.
Thinking about this, I wonder if the opening play may very well be scheduled as a statement play. I know the odds of sinking a 6 pointer on the first shot are uber-low, but really, for the team to come out firing rather than "game-managing", if successful, would probably set the tone for the game and maybe the season.
Before you beat me up, isn't that Bledsoe-ish advise? Go out there and sling it? Except this time with monster receivers waiting to grab it.
Anyway, just got me musing about how I would game plan the opening offensive drive.
What would you run if you got started at the 35? Some of you guys have an almost coach-like understanding of football and I'd love to hear what you would do.
