I didn't see a thread on this so if there is, please merge...
What new (or rarely used during the season) wrinkle or gameplan aspect do you think the Pats will use in January? Do you think they'll surprise everyone with a heavy dose of Maroney? Do you think they'll use more 4-3 with Seymour at his more dominant and natural DT position?
Here's my guess: Instead of sticking with the usual Asante at LCB and Hobbs at RCB, they'll put Asante on the opponent's top receiver if the game dictates such a change. I'm looking at you, Reggie Wayne, who normally lines up on the left side opposite Hobbs. If they do this, this will mean they're playing a lot more man-coverage because the CBs may not have their zone assignments down pat if they switch sides.
I also think that if the weather is bad, especially the wind, they'll play a ton more bump-and-run, figuring no balls over 25 yards will be thrown with great accuracy so there's no major danger of getting beat deep.
Regards,
Chris
