Hopefully that's the reason. We'll see what happens next week. Not sure if you can run that offense against hoodie who is devouring the game film currently
Don't see why not.
The Pats D isn't nearly as good as last year and if they keep playing man all game the slants, digs, and WR-runs will be there. Misdirection and RPO's work best against man coverage.
Pats D was overrated last year. It bugged me they were considered the best when we clearly were the best D. Playing a super easy schedule inflated their defensive stats and even landed Gilmore the DPOTY award he didn't deserve.
