Saturday Night Standout on Offense: Who is It?

[brdmaverick]

The Pats historically have gotten some big performances from players in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

2011 - Gronk 3 TDs
2012 - Vereen 3 TDs
2013 - Blount 4 TDs
2014 - Amendola 2 TDs
2015 - Gronk 2 TDs

Will the streak continue for someone to have a multi td game?

The patriots ran for 185 on them last time and Blount had 24-105 himself.

Their run d is pretty average actually.

It's improved.

 

[Ring 6]

It's improved.

We'll see.

I voted Hogan not because I expect him to have 8-10 catches but I do think he will get 1 50+ yard touchdown. Stat line will look like 4 catches 115 yards and a TD which is a big game but more of a complimentary role. He's been great at that this year.

 

[fnordcircle]

Lewis. He's going to get close to 100 yards rushing.

 

[Tuck]

No Dola or Mitchell on the list? I would normally say whoever is healthiest at this point in the season but honestly it's hard to pick one guy on this team because they have so many talented and healthy options right now. I can't remember a better offensive squad going into the playoffs. Edelman would be the obvious choice but I hope Bill can save him for next game.

My first instinct was Dion and I'll stick with it.

 

[OhExaulted1]

I have to go with robertweathers and Illegal Contact. Our revamped O-line with Dante in charge will make all the #'s that impress everyone else possible. As Koppen likes to say, "They act like a fist".

Patriots O-line will dominate, and very few will recognize it.

 

[Fanfrom1960]

I looked three times for TFB but couldn't find him..

 

[chris_in_sunnyvale]

White. I expect some Lewis & White groupings which the D will pay more attention to the run threat that Lewis is, thus giving White some one-on-one matchups on the LBs. If you read that Football Outsiders analysis, it highlighted Houston's trouble covering backs running routes.

[bpippin]

I would still have to say JJ Watt

 

[varjao]

James Branco

 

[Ring 6]

I think it's assumed. What could he possibly do that would be a pleasant surprise.

 

[Uptown]

Not Mitchell..

 

[everlong]

I think it's going to be the three headed running attack. I don't think one will stand out but together I predict north of 200 total yards.

 

[Mack Herron]

I looked three times for TFB but couldn't find him..

The thread title was poorly phrased.

 

[NewFeep]

the O line,.......... Book it!

 

[Uncle Rico]

Amendola.

 

[jumbo77]

Lewis should be ready to roll in this game. I am hoping there are a lot of stand outs.

Great thread!
