Quote:They are a dink and dump offense with their homerun throws going to gronk.... maybe if we do play press on the wrs, and then sit on the short yardage stuff while double teaming gronk, we can slow them down?


I'm just spit balling, but I think if I were the coach, I'd make then throw everything to the wrs and try to take gronk out of the game... force them to test colvin, house who we have in single coverage with their wide outs..

 

the problem is Edelman and the running backs will eat you up underneath if you double Gronk over the top.

 

i think the key to beating NE has been the same since Brady started playing there.  You mix it up, try to disguise your coverages, confuse Brady, and get pressure.  If you cant get pressure, nothing you do will matter.
