You know what's funny? Carl Banks was on WFAN earlier this week stating that the best kept secret among the media was that coaches around the league figured out the blueprint to stop Sanchez by hitting him early and he cannot recover. He said he finally decided to out this secret since there has been so much criticism and questioning of Sanchez even within the Jets organization.

Funny, Brady has a bad game against a very good defense and the media cry wolf about a "blueprint to shutdown Brady" which apparently no team can actually copy. And there is a very real blueprint to stop Sanchez that teams are succeeding to copy week after week and the media keeps a lid on it? Tell me there isn't a NY media bias.

Granted to be fair to the media, doing a story about the league has figured out how to stop Sanchez isn't much of a story. It happens every week.

Makes sense. I've seen it happen before. Hit Sanchez early and it makes him do two stupid things

1) Panic in the pocket.
2) B/c of A, he starts going sideways and then starts his idiotic backpedaling.

Also, this year, he has lost 10 fumbles, only recovered 2 of them. Compared to his 18 fumbles in his 1st two years, were only 3 were lost.

I can't say I've ever before seen a quarterback turtle like Sanchez does when he's about to get hit.

Or, wearing the Jetsfan Secret Decoder Ring, set to "Offseason Super Bowl" setting...

"He's gaining poise in the pocket, 1/2 the fumbles from earlier years, which were a slight cause for concern... At this rate in two more years he'll be down to just 2-3 per season, and you can't ask for better than that."

Anybody can copy it if they have the personel, and it Will be coming in the post season. To stop TB a team has to flood the center of the field and put pressure up the middle, we saw that last january when the jest did it. IMO Connelly/Waters is better a better combination than Koppen/Connelly at pass protection they're stouter and this will negate that aspect of slowing Brady down.

Jets tried the overloading the middle scheme this year (game 1), and unlike last year, we actually decided to run the ball at them.

Didn't work. I think the Rex Scheme just caught Brady off guard and our O line getting dominated by a 3 man rush didn't help.

Similar thing with the Steelers this year. For decades, they always played pure zone and zone blitzes. I don't think the Pats were prepared to see a cover 1 press coverage all day long. Would be interesting to see, if we play them again this year, if they try to do again and how we attack it.

Earlier in the season last year i believe cleveland did the same thing. Of course just about any QB that can't scramble is suseptible to pressure up the middle. Drew Bledsoe was great until he played a BB coached Cleveland team in the playoffs, BB pressured him up the middle, it wa the first time i heard the phrase "Bledsoes throwing off his back foot" after that game Bledsoe's career started to go down hill imo.

Browns did it with more man coverage though and sometimes with their Prowl defense and A gap pressures.
The Jets got the idea of the whole flooding the middle and playing with a 3 man rush from the Packers when they played us.
 
I can't believe how much of a Giants fan I became last weekend. The Giants and their fans truly see the Rats as their little runt brothers, and treated them as such, even though the Jets hate their roommates as much as they do the Pats. While the Jets are a bee stinger stuck in our thigh all year long, to the Giants they are nothing more than little flies to be swatted away, because they have much more important rivals to deal with in the NFC East. They dismissed all of the hot air coming from Rex all week, did endzone celebrations, and Jacobs got up in Rex's grill the way no Patriots player would ever do.

It wasn't just because they beat the Rats but because of how dismissive they were of the entire franchise. The Pats org sits back and takes the smack talk because they want to take the higher road, but the Giants are the honey badgers to Rex's beehive. Much props to them!

I'd have to think that PIT would do the exact same thing, at least for the most part.

They do tend to be awfully predictable when playing us, as proven by your statement of somehow continuing to do the same old/same old.

I really thought that they'd do something different this yr, and I'm sure BB did also. Unfortunately, the Pats were not as well prepared for it. I think the results would be somewhat different this time around, but the Steelers always have the potential to play punishing defense if they get going. I can't see them playing too much zone coverage against us again, as it'd be likely that Brady would start to torch them, at least in my opinion.

...and you claim to be a longtime Patriots fan?
I am disappointed in you, Grasshopper.

He HAS improved...he's gone from 17 year olds to 19 year olds

In fairness to Sanchez, he has really upgraded in that area. Rumors are that he is dating Victoria Secret model and Rob Gronkowski's obsession - Kate Upton.

Perhaps it's to announce he has hoof-in-mouth disease and needs a leave of absence to recuperate.
 
Lol, well said Ninja.

Yeah. I liked Todd B but he had to be the worst QB when in came to pocket awareness...as bad as Blaine Gabbert. But then again, he had drunk Alex Boone protecting his blindside. Not sure how the hell Alex Boone is still in the league, playing reserve LT, RT for the 49ers.
