Pats Need to Stick to There Base 3-4 Next Time Against Colts

[SCPatBoy]

I know we won the game, but I truly think we just need to play our 3-4 when we play the Colts and quit trying to play these exotic packages sitting back therte giving Manning all day. Watching the Chargers game it is clear to me that you can control Addai and then put pressure on Manning, which is clearly the way to attack the Colts.

I don't know if you can use the Bolts as a template for how to pressure Manning. The Colts would be having offensive problems in this game no matter what because they have so many injuries. One sign of this is that they are using a huddle, which they never do.

eh. we used big nickel with clark and gonzalez active


they are going against Wayne..no need for a nickel

i do like the way the Chargers get pressure and i dont think we've gotten enough this year besides from Vrabel on a consistent basis

There are a few things that I'm convinced of in life. One of them is that BB knows more about stopping NFL offenses than SCPatBoy. Whatever Bill decides to do, I'm on board with it. That's the beauty of having the best coach in the history of a sport on your team.

You have a good point, the Pats win right now is about to be watered down.

"Sure the Pats beat the Colts, big deal, the Chargers BLEW THEM OUT!".

Pats didn't want to give up big plays so they tried to make Addai beat them, which he almost did. Plus playing in the Colts stadium and the bad calls gave the Colts a HUGE advantage.

And have Clark on a LB? Nah. Rodney shut down both Clark and Jason Whitten this year.
