Matt Chatham opines on utilizing running backs more, to replace some of the play calls that went to JE and DA.

I'm about as big a McDaniels fan as there is on this forum, but last week's offensive game plan and in-game adjustments were both substandard, imo.
The issue is the underuse of the RB's in the passing game.They didn't get the deep threats not to use them - so there will be deep attempts for sure
But at the end of the day throwing deep remains a high risk, high reward scenario, and the ideal Patriots game plan is a low risk high reward one that features a very balanced offense
I think if they can't achieve that you'll see more deep throws - but let's hope they don't have to rely on the deep WRs to win

…and in the backfield, and at the same time.It was better last week. Watching the old-school screen game work that well was nice to see.
I'd expect a bit more of that this week, but more RBs lining up on the LOS as well...

Patriots have gone vertical, and are getting good at it!
