If Jake "The Fake" Plummer has a good game this week then we will know that there is a serious problem with the Patriots secondary. Nobody seems to know how to tackle and interceptions are as rare as lunar eclipses. This will be one interesting game.
 
Maybe we could wait for the game to be played before we agonize over the team's inadequacies.
 
First word of the title.................. "IF"

After losing 5 of 6 to the Broncos I can't see why they wouldn't be up for this game in FOXBOROUGH for once.
 
The Broncos are toast this week, burnt toast.

I will be very disappointed if this happens. Beating Jake is easy, rush the two ends/lbs, the middle two guys and Mike play take away the run up the middle and everybody else drop into coverage.

If Jake starts scrambling, he can hurt us, but for some reason, if we keep him in the pocket, he starts throwing at ankles. The absence of Duane Starks is huge for our chances.

Now, with that being said, the question becomes will we be able to stop the run with a 3-2-6 look?
 
If Jake has a good game this week it will be his first since last December. Not to mention his first of 2006 since noticing Jay Cutler was drafted in the first round to replace him. I predicted last season that Plummer's ability to stifle his natural tendancies in the best interest of the team would be shortlived at best and he would revert to form under pressure. He did in the playoffs. That has continued with a 1st rounder breathing down his neck. Guys will do it coaches way until they sense their job is on the line or coach may not have their back. Then survival instinct takes over and they quit thinking about what might be best for the team and do what comes naturally. Some are saying that coming off a poor camp and preseason performance (and an impressive one by Cutler) Jake appears unusually resigned to being a short timer as a starter in Denver.
 
I watched the Broncos vs Cheifs last night and thought that Jake actually played better than his QB rating would indicate. He is struggling a bit but his team is also struggling on offense too. Drop balls and the run game isn't solidified yet. We will see Sunday.
