I read today on the Jaguars.com front page that in 2007, Coughlin lined up 4 defensive ends on the defensive line and invited the Pats to run the ball. That's interesting.

"The Giants in 2007 said, ‘If you want to run it, run it. We’re going to invite you to run it.’ They put four defensive ends on the field. They put their arms up. Brady said it was like trying to throw through the trees of the forest. Being able to get to him with four rushers fast, drop seven – that’s the schematic aspect of it."

So, maybe we just line up with the defensive line that plays on obvious passing downs- Ngakoue, Campbell, Jackson, and Fowler. That's 3 DEs and 1 3-technique DT. And behind that, we play as usual: on 1st down- 3 linebackers, and on passing downs- nickel package.

Nothing takes away from a game more then watching it with some preconceived notion. I'm never confident, or unconfident. I just soak the game in, and love every minute of it. I learned that watching the Celtics.

73 years old hanging out on message boards?

Man... I hope my life turns out better than that.

Oh, man, that is cold.  What the heck does being 73 have to do with anything?  And besides, what is he supposed to be doing right now, playing golf?  It's probably about 5 degrees where he is.
