I think we'll be able to run on them, but I don't think the game plan will revolve around it. The game plan will revolve around Brady and the short, quick passing game. IMO, we'll run it like we did against the Steelers: just enough to be effective and keep the defense honest.
The Pats will not have success on Jets in running game...Jets are very good vs. the run...starts with the LBs Harris and Scott....
Apparently the Patriots weren't supposed to be able to run on the Steelers either? What were the stats from that game as a memory refresher?
The firs post in this thread is advocating that the Patriots actively try to run on the Jets as the primary form of gaining yardage on offense. I merely stated that if we take this approach it would be extremely difficult for us to move the ball effectively. You really think that the Steelers game is a good example of the Patriots coming out intent on pounding the ball like the OP suggests? If so, I'm sorry, but you are clearly misremembering what happened in that game.
The only way we can run effectively against a defensive front as good as the Jets' is if we can open it up through the passing game. The Steelers game is living proof of that, and so is the Vikings game and the Lions game, for that matter. As soon as the passing game started clicking, we all of a sudden started running the ball. I can't remember a single time when we came out intent on running the football right out of the gate and managed to get it done. And that's not even taking into account the fact that a lot of the yardage we get on the ground comes when running out of passing formations.
Bottom line: this Patriots team has yet to show they can just line up and run on anybody (except for maybe the Colts), I don't see how it would benefit them to try this out on a stout Jets' defense.
Did the Patriots run on the Steelers or not?
We did and nobody on this board is willing to admit that the Steelers were missing 2 starting defensive linemen. I love the Pats and all, but ************ people, stop looking at the world through homer colored glasses. The Steelers game is a terrible, terrible example.
I can't see the patriots just lining up and running it down the jets throats. The pats can do damage with the running game if the passing game is clicking and the runs are disguised. The pats can not win that battle in the trenches.
Congratulations. You almost lost to Shaun hill until Alphonso smith single handedly gave you the game

If any of you think this team can line up and run on the Jets you are insane. This game will be won or lost by Tom Brady. It really is that simple.
Parcells used to have the NE offense run directly at Bruce Smith to neutralize the blitz.
If you want to say our game plan in terms of offense then let's start with a very big key. finding ways to protect Brady and release the TE's. If our line and rb's can pick up the pressure then Tom will have a field day. We'll run on them enough to keep them honest ... Woodhead will be more of a passing option than a receiving option ... not a bad check down option at all IMO.
Is there a record for check down receptions/yardage ... .
Once more a moron from the bleachers parades in professing to know more about the Patriots scheming then people who have watched them religiously for the better part of decades.Balance? Counting up til the score was 20-3 (since its pretty stupid to keep throwing with that big a lead) the ratio of pass to run is 36:13. That's as lopsided as it gets, and this was with a lead. Teams usually have that kind of pass-dominated offense when trailing.
Don't kid yourself, the pats running game exists because teams must respect the pass.
