4 WRs, Brown, Gordon, Edelman, and Dorsett, with 1 RB, White or Burkhead.
We saw this a bit in Miami.
Other than with an overwhelming pass rush that gets there in under 2 seconds, how can this be defended?
Let's say you go man coverage, as people prefer to do vs. Brady.
With 6 DBs in the defense, two WRs are doubled, two have single coverage, and a linebacker is on White or Burkhead. Targeting the RB vs. a LB is like taking candy, but so is going to the most open of two WRs who are single-covered.
With a whopping 7 DBs, two WRs are doubled, two have single coverage, and a safety is on White or Burkhead. Running the ball vs. this light box is like taking candy, but so is going to the most open of two WRs who are single-covered.
I think that this lineup, when Brown is up to speed (assuming he stays on the roster) cannot be man-covered. It would have to be a zone scheme, but still requiring AT LEAST 6 DBs.
Brady loves targeting soft spots in zones. It could be epic.
