No. No. and No.
Conservative Defence is absolutely the key against the Pats. Force them to use the run. Force them to only take the very short 2/3 yard passing gains. Blitzing lots only helps the Pats as we have fewer people in coverage against their talented recievers. I'm including their FBs and LBs in this as well (bloody Vrabl). Also - Marcia is good at reading blitz and getting rid of the ball for a short gain.
What we need to do is use a good mix of man2man and zone (a lot of cover 3) to contain the passing game and force Marcia to hold on to it. Then we let our DL (with the 2nd highest sacker in Schobel) force a banged up Pats OL to miss blocks, drop blocks and crumble in on Brady. I want no less than 4 sacks in this game - and at least 3 comlimentary sacks - these will 90% come as coverage sacks if we play it right.
If we do that and have Dillon come in, I am happy that our D can dominate the Pats running game.
Then it's all down to the O.
