I don't deny that taking Hilton's ability over the top away should be a huge area of focus as well. That said, both of our starting corners, when healthy, are more than capable of doing that. The Pats soft spot on defense is coverage against TE's and RB's, though. That should be the area of focus, primarily given that a lot of times Luck gets rolling by feeding Fleener.
Regardless of 40 times, none of the Patriots CBs are speed corners. I think we can expect that BB and Patricia will be schooling McCourty in the art of "Stay deeper than the deepest!" all week long. Hopefully, they're also going to be schooling the CBs on the art of beating the hell out of Hilton at the line of scrimmage.
