Credit to Belichick for switching Vollmer and Cannon tonight. It seemed like the obvious choice, but it's a good one.

Cannon demoted to RT?

Thank you baby Jesus. This is probably our best line combination.

Tony Dungy's Bronco Victory prediction is about 22 minutes away...

23 degrees here, steady light snow coming down, light covering on the neighborhood streets.

Having Jackson back is good too. If anything happens to Kline, they can plug in Jackson. If anything happens to Mason, they can move Kline to LG and Jackson in at RG. If both guards are somehow out, put Stork at one spot and Andrews at C. Finally, some depth!!! Now, if only we had more tackles...

That makes me so much more confident in tonight.

I like Jackson over Kline because of his power but Kline is fine.

Which player will step up today on Offense other than Gronk or Lafell ?

I was watching Spartacus yesterday and there was a scene where they cut a horse into pieces for rations. How's that for an omen??

I'm Tom Brady.

 

[HeadHunter]

Kinda bummed they aren't playing against Peyton. Oh well.

 

[JMC00]

Doesn't Miller line up on the RT side?

Keshawn! 7 catches for 102 yards. Book it.

I think they'll just say **** it and go with...

FB - Mason
LT - Vollmer
LG - Stork
OC - Andrews
RG - Kline
RT - Jackson
TE - Cannon

I think coverage will dictate from play to play. This will be the ultimate Brady throwing to the open man and not locking on anyone (not that he does that often). McD probably had things worked out (rotating plan(s) to keep the defense from being opportunistic).

From previous Denver -New England games I remember he was always going against Solder.

 

[TBR]

I hope they run some jet sweeps tonight

I suspect they will double him. Or should.

RT - Jackson

Lol, more likely...
FB - Mason
LT- Vollmer
LG - Kline
OC - Stork
RG - Jackson
RT - Cannon
TE - Fleming

Then add on Gronk and Chandler/Cleveland onto the end, Blount in the backfield... Pretty good power run formation with the option to hit one of the TEs if the D bites too hard.
