#1 Butler have a good game - This is going to probably be in my top 5 all year. Whoever he is on I want him to have a good game. No reason to let up 10 catches for 130 yards this game. Harvin and Watkins are both good but no Brown. I'd like to see what he does against a non top 5 WR. I hope he gives up half or less than he did last week. I know it is only his 2nd start though.
#2 Front 7 improved - This unit was disappointing last week. Hopefully it will wake up and be better this this. I expect to see more particularly out of Collins, Nink & Jones. It be nice if the DTs could do better but they are either young ot already where they are going to be. Also it might be more accurate to call this the front 6 but i get the feeling we will see more Mayo this week. This all being said I expect this to be more of a "contain inside the pocket" game so if the pass rush doesn't get home much it won't be overly concerning to me.
#3 OL pass protection - I don't think the run blocking is going to go well. This front is too talented for that probably. It will probably be a lot of Andrews/Kline/Jackson again and I am hopeful they can have another strong showing. Once Stork is back i will look for this OL to open up bigger holes but for now pass protection is good enough.
#4 Scott Chandler - We all have expectations for Chandler and this would be a good week to have his coming out party. We all expect him to be a good red zone target but he needs to be used more than he has been. I would rather Gronk not be on the field all the time if possible. (same can be said for Amendola as it applied to Edelman)
#5 Less negative plays/penalties - Last week so many drives stopped cause of bad penalties and backwards plays. I don't think that will be the case this week but I hope to see a much cleaner game with drives only stopped when the defense earns them.
