Shorten the game, and take the pocket from Brady because that is where he is strongest. He can't really do anything once you collapse the pocket. This is easy to say, but very hard to do for 60 minutes. Very few teams can do it. I think Jacksonville has the potential to pull it off. It should be a great fight. Caughlin is Belichick's achilles heel!

On the other side of the ball, Belichick will funnel his energy into taking away your best offensive weapon, and force you to win with your second best weapon. I frankly don't know what that means in your particular case, so am curious what you guys think. We play bend but don't break: giving up yards like they are free beer, but very stingy with points.

I think playing bend defense against this offense is a mistake. You don't want this team anywhere near the redzone

Stop Fournette and honestly, thats it. Bortles may make a few scrambling plays here and there but your offense isn't the issue here. When people hear the jaguars, they immediately see that defense, not the offense. But to your obvious point, no team plays a defense willingly giving up yards for red-zone attempts, just happens to be one of our team's strong points. We are second, right under your team in the redzone.
