So last week I speculated after Jordan Devey's gruesome second half against Miami that the Pats would probably evaluate other options at the RG spot in Week 2. Obviously that didn't happen. Maybe Ryan Wendell's knee injury tied their hands a bit, but the Pats still had Josh Kline and Bryan Stork...

I think it is safe to say right now there is no hotter topic concerning Patriot football than the current performance and prospectus of the offensive line. Specifically as it pertains to pass blocking. I invite those who have a little time to spare to join me as I attempt to go into deeper...

The Kansas City Chiefs are basically a bigger, stronger and slower version of the Indianapolis Colts defense; they share the same Tampa 2 pedigree, but are built for grass, not turf. Consequently they are better run-stoppers than pass-rushers. They don't penetrate to the extent the Colts do...

What the frick? Their contracts must be outrageous or something if that's all the compensation the 'Boys got for them. Or they must have called Terrell Owens names or something in Jerry Jones' presence. source: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8074006

Well, really, what is there to say about this game other than the obvious? Here now is the obvious, in colored ink: 1st Drive 04:52 1 & 10 4 man rush (RB screen) Brady: knockdown (Umenyiora) Light: knockdown (Umenyiora) Mankins: knockdown (Cofield) 03:30 1 & 10 4 man rush 03:24 2 & 10 4...

The two AFC playoff games were very similar from a pass blocking standpoint: both the Jaguars and the Chargers elected to go with down rushers and few blitzes, much like the Giants game. Unlike the Giants, however, the Jags and Bolts didn't really have the interior linemen to pull it off...

The Giants' strength, defensively, is obviously that defensive line. They one-gap and the linebackers fill their gaps very aggressively behind them, and they are all fast. Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan, the ends, are the headliners, but in week 17 it was actually the tackles who had the...

I downloaded this game a while ago but have been too busy to take a through look at it until now. Apologizes. Hopefully I can catch up before the Super Bowl. Like most games this year, and all the games I've evaluated line play, the Patriots prefer using the spread when passing, with the...

Offensive Line Most of the time, the O-line saw rushes from between 2 to 4 people, and real blitzes were the exception, not the rule. All in all they did a decent job of keeping Brady protected during the game. The Pats were most often in a 3 WR/ 1 TE / 1 RB set (Reiss said 60 out of 69...

So far I've re-watched the first half of Eagles v. Pats, watching the defense in general and the offensive line in particular. It was a close, interesting game that spawned a lot of talk on this forum, making it worthy of analysis. I'll start with the performance of the offensive line in the...

As near as I can tell... This was how the Jets kick coverage team lined up: 42 Rashad Washington 15 Wallace Wright 1 Mike Nugent 16 Brad Smith 26 Erik Coleman 96 David Bowens 45 Stacy Tutt 55 Brad Kassell 53 Cody Spencer...

(This is the first time I've started a personal observation thread. Hopefully it'll be up to par on this board.) That was a good game. Both teams had an equal claim on the outcome, but like so many times before, the Pats walk away with all the marbles. So many plays today went the Pats way...

Maybe everyone can shut up about Bridget, Gabriel and the feud and read this article on the fullback dive... you know, something about football: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/dr_z/12/14/fullback.dive/1.html That's the link to the second page of 2. Here's the part the concerns...
