Time for the Patriots to get real . this isn’t about taking anyone to the hill or playing mistake free football . This is about beating Gangrene. With good reason anyone who grew up in the 60’s , 70’s and 80’s hates the Just Eat The Snacks crew. From Joe Namath to the NY sack Exchange all the way up to and through that creepy fat foot fetish creeper Rex Ryan . this feud runs deep. The Hatfields and McCoys have nothing on Pats Jets. This goes back to BU and The Polo Grounds. This is AFL old. This is Boston vs NY old . I’m not even going to bring up the Spygate garbage. I guess I just did . Here are my monster keys to Patriots victory over gangrene.
Press the Red button
Sorry AVP your system isn’t giving me the or anyone facing this team the shivers. Time to shake things up this week. It’s time to Hit the NOZ button. Hurry up – No huddle – No personnel groupings are off limits – Go Jumbo to Five Wide. and don’t let the JETS defenders breath.
That Being said
Be the Patriots – run the damn ball , the jets soft underbelly is their soft D against the run … Stevenson -Gibson need to get that Thunder and lightning going on Thursday night. More Gibson please , id like to see these carries spread out a bit more, and for Christ sake , Get JaMycal Hasty involved.
The Kids are Alright
Time to put the needle down on the record, time to start hitting the speedsters. Time to start trusting Pop Douglas and Ja’Lynn Polk. I don’t just mean letting them make contested catches, I’m talking about getting rid of the ball before they break. Get the Jets out of their high shells and force them to respect the second level of the field. The speed is there. Jacoby needs to trust his crew knows their routes. P.S Crew know your routes
Motion will set this offence free.
you’re having a hard time with separation ? get these receivers in motion. Pre Snap, at the snap, maybe a Sweep with someone a tad bit faster than Ja’Lynn ? No one uses motion less than this team. Also can I get a bubble screen ? Can I get a wheel route out of the backfield ?
Limit the laundry – Again No playing behind the chains please
Win The turnover Battle – this team needs to be on the plus side every week. The Pats need to at least Take a possession away from Rogers, maybe two to win thursday night.
Own Third Down – The Pats were just 6 – 16 third down opportunities against Seattle . God help me.
Own the Red Zone – The silence you are observing is me having a stroke.
Flip the Field – Bryce Baringer for MVP
With The Bentley is in the Shop
Ja’waun Bentley is done for the year. Another torn pec has shelved a talented defender for an entire season, 100 + tackles in each of the last three seasons are now looking for a new name to sit next too on the stat sheet. Let’s get it started this week with a nice group effort. It’s time to get back to good pad level and shed the blocks in front of you while keeping your gap integrity. Raekwon McMillan and Jahlani Tavai are next men up to fill the shoes of the Patriots captain. Get Dugger down into the box , And Get it Done Gentlemen.
Man Up Bring the Noise
I told you all last week on Locked On Patriots that getting cute wasn’t going to get it done vs a veteran QB like Smith. Well guess what. Aaron Rogers AKA Discount Double Choke isn’t going to be fooled by any damn body. Early soft coverage last week burned the Pats and made the secondary look foolish at times. If you sit in zone Rogers will pick this team apart. It’s his job, it’s what he does, ( until January ) …. Get Gonzalez on Garret Wilson and shut down Breece Hall and the Patriots have a shot to come out of the meadowlands with a W.
That’s it my Rabid Readers. The Pats are not good enough to overcome mistakes. To this point in the year they haven’t made many or at least few enough to be 2-0 , yet they are 1-1. Even without the turnovers without the false starts and alignment penalties AVP has this team averaging around the same numbers as this team was last year.
As always follow ? give me grief on Xitter @Tmurph207
