Between Parker and Waddle (with Fuller off the board - and now their OL taking COVID losses) I'm guessing that the Patriots staff will take a "wait and see" approach in the first series or two. Do they need to "rotate" the double teams or the matchups with those two WRs? More zone? Can the DL make Waddle irrelevant with the rush?My ONLY worry is that we need to contain Waddle. But then, Belichick understand that too.
The more pressing concern for me is the "contain rush" approach for QBs like Tua. That plus a weaker CB crew with Gilmore out dilutes the DL advantage vs the Miami OL that the Patriots SHOULD have on paper, but again I think that the patient approach will be applied and adjustments made as the game progresses.
