All we keep hearing about the jaguars from the media is how strong their front 4 is and their Cornerbacks.
But what I havent heard discussed much is how their linebackers/safeties are in coverage. Miami exposed that if you play tough man on Cooks, you can effectively limit him. And i cant imagine a gameplan that targets the strength of their secondary. Patriots dont have WR's like the steelers do.
What they do have though is a cache of running backs in white/lewis/burkhead who are solid in the passing game...and Gronkowski who might be the biggest NFL mismatch in the game
The steelers used the same press man against the patriots. and while the struggled for much of the game, they found that no-one could cover gronkowski. and once they figured that out they drove down the field.
If they double gronk it should open up running backs on linebackers 1 v 1. But at the same time if they leave Gronk one on one, we have seen Gronkowski abuse a pro-bowl safety last week against the titans.
