Is this 2003 again? Are the rest of the league using the Ty Law/Rodney Harrison approach to pass defense against Patriots WRs and particularly Gronk to disrupt our offense?
How many times have we seen the uncalled "pull one arm down right before the ball gets there" multiple times per game (they can't call them all)?
The question however is what can the team do about it? I'm not advocating the "whine to the league" Polian approach, but as it has had an impact particularly now that the offense has morphed from immediate separation, hit em in the gut throws to more "over the shoulder, high point" plays where both hands are critical to pass completion - are there mitigating approaches to help offset the "Brady Rules" (hat tip to the Detroit Pistons "Jordan Rules")?
