Let's see....the Jets secret strategy is to combine a dominating running game with a lights out defense? I seem to remember another team who came into Foxboro last year with that strategy, the Chicago Bears. And their running back was..yup you got it. And he did exactly what against us?...well squat will do.
Now TJ is on a team with a worse OL and worse defence and the results are magically going to change?
Let's just say for the sake of argument the Jets manage to hold the ball for a 10 minute scoring drive. Here's the Pat's response:
1 downs - toss it down the filed to Moss or Stallworth (or Watson). If that doesn't work:
2 down - toss it down the field to Moss or Stallworth (or Watson). If it doesn't work:
3 down - lob it to Welker who runs it underneath for 20 yards.
I fixed your post for you. [Remember Dave Thomas' first catch as a Patriot? 29 yards. Next play--Brady to Watson for 29 yards (and, BTW, Brady could also have thrown to Thomas, who was right near Watson).]
One other thing worth noting:
Maroney + open field = first down
Maroney + open field to sideline = first down AND stopping the clock
