I know you guys are all hopped up for the game next week against the Saints, but I really don't think it's that big of a game for you. Yes, it is a measuring tool to see how you measure up with the NFC's best team and to see if your 2007 squad has finally rekindled its form (in actuallity, I'm a bit worried you have hit that stride.) And yes it does position you nicely for playoff seeding if you win, but the big game is against us the following week.
You may very well steamroll us, it's a possibility. But if we can hang tough, get pressure on Brady, and protect the football, we just might hang one on you and make the division race a very interesting one.
I watched most of your game today and it's the same story. You can be ran on, we can move the ball on you and we can score points, but how will we contain Moss and Welker.
I'm thinking we go with a cover one with Gibril Wilson playing center field (kind of a scary thought lol) Yeremiah Bell up in the box feeling out Watson and Welker should the test between the hash marks, and go with Nate Jones on Welker. Force him into the middle, funnel him into a zone.
This will work if we do it, but it exposes the outside because I'm putting Vontae Davis one on one with Randy Moss. It's crazy, but I think it's our only shot. He has the physicality to fluster Moss and there's no way he'll back down. Go with Sean Smith on the other side of the field and maybe roll Wilson on top of Moss every now and then.
Bottom line is we have to get pressure on Brady or else it doesn't matter what kind of coverage we run. I think Cam Wake is going to get a lot more snaps in the coming weeks and he has been our best pure pass rusher.
Can't wait till week 13. Sunday night in Miami.
