Who's Got the Edge? Jets Vs. Patriots

but i think the Pats pass defense have a high edge against the Jets passing offense. the only weapon i fear is Dustin Keller. He has burned the Pats in 2008 (2nd game) and in 2009 (1st game).
I dont fear Edwards…he’s too busy grooming his beard.
Thankfully S Holmes isn’t playing.

I think they’ll go yet another week without finding the endzone.

I’ll just go on record to say I want the Patriots to give the Jets a proper thumping. 56 – 6.

As usual, the pundits latch onto some story and run it to death.

If you look at the picks Revis had on Moss, it is fairly obvious that both throws were the cause. INT one on the long throw down the sidelines had a safety right there as well. That was a forced throw to Moss. Clearly, Brady needs to lay off Moss when he has tight double coverage.

The second INT was an under throw by Brady. Brady had a defender in his face as he was releasing the ball. Clearly another predictable pass play where the D rushed with fury.

I keep saying that no DB can stop Moss [or any #1 WR] by himself. IF O’Brien mixes it up with a range of play calls, uses the TE’s, uses slot screens, slants, and running plays, Moss will have single coverage by Revis, Brady will have time and space to set his feet, and Moss will be open. Period.

This is not complicated. Revis is not going to shut down Moss. O’Brien will be the one to shut down Moss if he repeats his pathetic play calling efforts from last season. O’Brien’s predictable play calling will create double teams on Moss, and it will create an all-out, JET’s pass rush on Brady.

If we see a nice mix of play calls, we will be discussing how amazing Moss was, and how he owned Revis. Neither statement being true. Revis needs his other 10 guys to “own” anyone. Moss needs O’Brien to diversify his play calling to “own” any DB.

Revis is very good. Ty Law was very good. They can stay close to the receiver. However, close is not good enough with the elite QB’s in the NFL if said QB has time to set his feet and see the passing lane.

Look at last week w/ McCourty and Ocho. Palmer threaded the needle several times because Palmer had time to set his feet and see the passing lane. Simple result for an elite QB like Palmer: or Manning or Brady. But, if Palmer is rushed, forced to throw off the back foot, or his vision is impaired by a defender, McCourty makes the INT.

Let the defense know it’s a pass play, and most of the time the QB will be pressured on the release.

…will be the Pats Pass O. If we can jump out to a quick lead and force them to pass, it will make our day A LOT easier.

It is a farse, and it is inconceivable that the PATRIOTS, one of pro sports elite organizations, would settle for an offensive coordinator who is unqualified to handle to handle the job.

Unless O’Brien is removed from his position as the offenisve coordinator, we are wasting our time discussing this team, their draft picks [present and future], and any other aspect of the season moving forward.

He simply has no clue how to maximize the talent at his disposal. His inability to adjust to ongoing game situations is obvious. And, it is the reason the PATS cannot, and will not, succeed with him as the offensive coordinator.
