How do you stop Jimmy Graham and the Saints next week?

Another monster day today from Graham. Who covers him? Or tries too at least

Same way you stop Rob Gronkowski.

Well, if the O plays another game like that again they're going to be slaughtered by the Saints.

Cincys D is better. But Brees is good for 27+...so they are going to have to score 30 to win

 

[PATRlOT]

You don't.

You trade for Larry Fitzgerald and make the Saints stop him & Brady.

Oh wait, nevermind. Bellichick thinks giving Brady a couple rookies at the end of his career would be the best idea, in addition to letting his favorite WR go to a rival.

Why do you care fair weather fan?

The Saints D has been playing better than the Bengals this season.

The Saints will be the toughest test the Patriots face all season in likelihood. They're a legit Super Bowl contender. The Patriots are going to need to play their best game of the season to win that one.

As for Graham, he's going to a load for any defense to stop. The Patriots must bracket him and Sproles and let the other guys make plays.

You don't stop him, you hopefully can slow him down enough. The person that worries me the most is Spirols. Brady needs a monster day and hopefully we don 't lose 2 in arrow. Can you imagine the fans on here if that did happen????

Not against this defense.

We are having a serious problem covering TEs lately. It is what it is and BB will obviously plan for Graham next week. On the plus side our defense has played amazing

 

[jmt57]

For starters the Patriots could go back to watch and see what Atlanta did in week one; Graham had only four receptions for 45 yards in that game. We've already seen that the Falcons aren't all that special. Though Graham did score a touchdown in the second half of that game, perhaps something could be taken away from what they did in coverage.

 

[Sciz]

I have a feeling they'll do the double-jam on him in big receiving situations.

 

[Ozymandias]

Disregard.

I'm not sure I subscribe to that theory. The Saints D has been dynamic this season. They're playing as well as their O.

Falcons have two big, fast safeties in Moore and DeCoud. Plus they know NO better than our coaching staff possibly could because of the familiarity factor.

Fact is, they are going to have to bracket him. I am more worried about Sproles than Graham, as I think Sproles will just murder our LBs.

 

[PatriotSeven]

You don't. You fling it up like Brees and you don't care about interceptions. Try to throw one less INT than him.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Wonder if gronks dad will say it's ok for him to play now

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

In the ATL game they let Tony go off becasue of jones..but i would let Colston go off and somehow try and double or double jam like you said
