After watching replay of Houston game....have serious concerns about our OL and once again their ability to first and foremost PROTECT Tom Brady.....and secondly to enable our run game to be a factor. The OL play in both of above statements was piss poor. Brady as we all know was hit and pressured relentlessly and brutally. Anyone other that Tom Bleeping Brady would have been out of the game! Thuney and Andrews played half assed horrible football and should be ashamed of themselves as professionals.
If the OL gets manhandled like that against Pittsburgh...it's obviously over. Solder will have one of hardest tests against Harrison who charges out low ...and will move around in sure.....
Now onto the run game ....or lack thereof against Houston (other than Lewis.....and his fumble issues scare the crap outta me this coming weekend). We HAVE TO be able to run the ball against Pittsburgh. Absolute must. Pitt will most likely double Edelman ALL game and take him out....which WR will pick up Edelmans production?! Maybe Danny...maybe extra to Hogan if he can go 100%..Mitchell probably out again and Floyd is a total wild card....
Bennett is really banged up it seems....leaving Lengel as only healthy TE....he better be ready to go for heavy blocking and making some catches.....
The Houston game was much closer than it should have been....and than many would believe.....and crappy play, weaknesses, and sloppiness like the Pats trotted out against Houston.....will not fly against Pittsburgh....
