Secondary vs Detroit

[SalemPats]

Fist off very impressed by the game planning against the Colts and Broncos. Putting Revis on Luck's security blanket Reggie Wayne (despite him basically being a slot receiver) and Browner on Hilton (so he could play physical off the line) with over the top help was fantastic. I think BB was content with letting Fleener (an average TE) be the focal point. Against the Broncos, BB put Revis on Sanders and Browner on DT was great.

Now we have Megatron and Tate. We have a similar situation to the Broncos. Does BB go with Revis on Calvin and Browner take a speedier Tate who moves around a lot or does he switch it up. I think he'll go with Revis on megatron this week just because Calvin is physical enough to handle Browner.

The defensive game plan vs Detroit will be fascinating. Detroit has no run game and a very inaccurate QB who has only two true targets. I see BB switching it up all afternoon with plenty of attack packages

After last night I don't know if I want to see Browner on *anybody* how the heck a TE not named Gronk make you look like crap.

Yes i agree with that. I wonder if he'll go into more zone coverages than we've seen the last couple of weeks

Bracket Megatron with Browner & McCourty - force Stafford to throw over a giant and put Tate on Revis island. That works for me.

If it was me, and take that for what it's worth), I'd put Revis on Megatron, Arrington and McCourty on Tate and Browner/Chung on the TE, Ryan on any third receiver and Collins on the RBs.

I like this too although if anyone can outmuscle Browner it's probably Megatron.

I expect to see both Browner and Revis have a shot at Megatron. I think both matchups are worth trying. The Patriots need a big game from Collins cause Bush/Bell are fairly deadly out of the back field. The Detroit O does not scare me much though.

I expect a desperate team though that is looking to bounce back after a bad game vs Arizona.

He will likely be able to cope with Browner's physical nature but Stafford has mistakes in him so having to go over a 6'4" CB but not lead the pass so much it goes straight to McCourty will take some doing.

I think it's a very reasonable suggestion. Having seen the Lions the last two weeks, admittedly only on Redzone, Megatron was being covered effectively by smaller quicker Corners in Grimes and Powers last night (5-10). That's why I went with Revis on Megatron.

I would think Bush is a question for next week and if he does play may not be 100%.

I think he'll play, but won't be 100%

 

[manxman2601]

I wonder if there'll be more A gap blitzes. The Lions have a rookie at RG in Travis Swanson, or at least did yesterday.
