Next Up: vs Patriots

[rossihunter2]

Huge game

can we keep it rolling after the extra rest and extra study time?
can we at least challenge the pats like no team has yet (browns game pending)

Like I said in the bye week post, I’m extremely scared of that defense. They’ve been feasting on young QBs. Honestly could see Lamar throwing less than 10-15 times and our guys running a TON. I think our defense will hold up...

lamar's elite athleticism probably means they cant play their defence the same way - they love playing man but that will turn the defenders backs and leave lamar massive amounts of space to run into

pats play really good team defence and their back end has been an interception machine so far but lamar apart from that 5 quarter stretch has been pretty safe with the football

pats though are also 2nd in sacks and that worries me a lot despite the lack of name-brands - lots of guys contributing to pressure without one guy standing above - their sack leader is an off-ball lb - we're probably going to have to keep a close eye on the rookie chase winovich though who has 4 sacks already

They look scary.........on paper. I keep looking at who they’ve played so far and then I’m not as impressed. Either way I think it should be a good game. The #1 ranked D against the #2 ranked offense. Tee it up already. Lol

Guess who'll be the first QB Jaylon sacks...

Yeh my worry is basically how well we protect Lamar against an aggressive defence, and will he have the smarts to see what's coming and adjust for it.

I saw a really interesting video on what New England have been doing to young quarterbacks with their zero blitz, and how to beat it. I think Lamar has the tools to beat it, the question is can we be aggressive right back.

mark andrews will be pretty crucial in beating the cover zero blitz - needs to win quickly and hold onto the ball this week

I don't know how much zero blitz will Lamar see. They are probably going to play mostly zone.

that's what i think too

if anything we're going to have a tough time preparing for them because we have no idea what they will try to do to counteract lamar (because no team has really figured it out yet)

I reckon we should focus on ourselves, not their D. It will be crucial to get the run going early and play disciplined football.

i forgot one of the other keys to beating the pats is beating the refs also - basically dont run any plays that even look like pick plays

and no one should touch the player in front of them or else you'll get called for holding, opi, dpi, etc...

Beating the zebras adds a whole different level of difficulty to this game.

Speaking of which, our discipline in our pass-rush needs to be top-notch. We can't afford any Roughing the Brady penalties.

 

[ThatsMyJoeTerback]

I wanted to go to the game until I looked at the ticket prices. Yikes.

we've had to do that in a number of games this year.

 

[Tank]

Pressuring miss tommy is the key to stopping the patsies offense as she can’t handle being hit. Maybe the pass rush is reinvigorated(?)after the bye. And surely it will be BB’s game plan to stack the box and force us to pass. LJ will need to be on top of his game and accurate passing the ball.

 

[RavensMania]

BB in the press conference mentioned the Ravns twice on separate occasions, unprompted.

He said we have to look ahead to the Ravens. They have been off a couple of weeks so we know they will be ready and a tough opponent.

Then said later we have to get ready for the Ravens now.

Totally the most lopsided coaching match up vs Freddie Kittens in the history of the game. Browns just like they were only focused on staying warm and dry during the game. Kittens should be fired for not just his ineptitude, nor what he just did, but for total incompetence.

Still Belichick breaking character and admitting he was looking forward to the Ravens is a big tell. He knows how big a game it will be AND how dismissable the Browns are.

Ravens have always played Pats tough and he knows it. The fact that the Ravens havnt been meeting the Pats in the playoffs the past few years is probably a nice perk that BB knows he is about to lose.
