I felt our lack of pass rush has KILLED us the past couple of years. Not only that, but strong pass rushing against us has hurt us. You'd think Belichick would be stacking us with pass rushers...
In a game where disrupting the quarterback has become one of the keys to victory, we seem to have gotten WEAKER, not stronger there. We've lost Vrabel and gained no one better.
So what's the plan? Let opposing quarterbacks stand back there for 5 minutes and complete yet another 3rd-and-15?
Shore up the coverage in the middle first. It was baby steps for Guyton and Mayo last season and sometimes AD had to be the babysitter in terms of picking up the slack in coverage. If Guyton & Mayo can prove more effective in coverage, they can be more aggressive in their pass rushing, especially w AD.
Plus, it would help if Guyton and Mayo hone some pass rushing skills. Whether we are in a 3-3 nickel or 2-4 nickel, having all the linebackers on the field w the ability to cover and pass rush will make a huge difference.
