Curran is spot on. That is where the offense does it damage- the middle of the field. Welker, Gronk, Hern. NY doesn't have the speed at ILB or the speed in their safety positions to deal with it talent-wise. Goodness. Plus, With Revis and Cromartie, that would be the Pats preference regardless. There may be more schematic stuff he is referring to that is beyond my level of football understanding. Who knows.
What is think is more realistic is that if there is any funneling that needs to be done, Scott needs to pour a couple beers in it and take a long pull.
