He's BACK! Brad Jones Is Your Starting Dime LB

[pbmax]

Sorry, pb. That was sarcasm. I should have included a smiley face or something.

My bad. I'm having the 3-3 DTs.

[wist43]

Just like 2010!!

He's your guy Max... sex was good in the beginning, so you make excuses for all the beatings he's given you since.

So his pass rush is Guion, Daniels, Jones/Boyd and Neal?

Brady will have all day to let Gronk lose his double team. You can't send both you best pass rushers into coverage unless its 3rd and 38.

Capers is going to have to mix it up which means Gronk is going to see a lot of different bodies.

Your line is going to have a rotation of all those guys - depending on situation.

If it's either or, you should have Boyd or Guion on the field, along with Daniels and D.Jones/Perry. You've got Neal, Matthews and Peppers standing up.

If it's clearly a passing situation, your line should be D. Jones, Daniels, and Perry; and the same 3 LB's.

It's not that complicated - and I have news for ya, there's no rule that says you can't rush 5; nor is there any rule that says you can't play zone underneath, cheat your Safeties up, or double the TE.

Of course dunderdummy will revert back to his default gameplan against elite QB's which is to play the 2-4, and play softer and softer in coverage. Gronk could have 3 or 4 TD's, and Brady is going to go off. Not to mention the fact that they should run for 150+

If dunderdummy comes out in a 3-3 nickel, and plays it the way I've outlined, we might-could have a chance; but if he reverts to his nature?? Well, we've seen that show a million times - haven't we??

Would you rather see Hawk?

I'd rather see a street free agent

[Tyrion Lannister]

Burnett has to call coverages and adjustments from the backfield, someone needs to be make call neat the LOS for the LBs and lineman.

If Burnett held down both jobs, he could never line up deep. I believe Lattimore has had the radio and made calls before when Hawk was injured. He was out there with the short guy.

Radio communication is irrelevant pertaining to post-huddle communications/adjustments, as the NFL goes radio silence after the first 30 seconds or so of the play clock.

In other words, no reason Burnett can't handle the play call stuff.

[Tyrion Lannister]

great minds think alike

Not really. You're wasting your great mind fighting for the "other" side.

End of discussion. I am just gonna leave it at that before Red gets mad.

[Tyrion Lannister]

BTW, I think this is all about Hawk being injured in some fashion.

I was just watching an NFL Shortcuts of a 2012 Packers-Vikings game, and Hawk wasn't as reluctant a tackler then as he is now, but he still ran like shit then as he does now.

Hawk's not injured. He hasn't showed up on the weekly injury report. The guy's lost a step. That's the cold hard truth.

BTW, I think this is all about Hawk being injured in some fashion.

Only about 100 people on talk radio have mentioned how slow Hawk looked. I noticed on three different plays where he looked hobbled. I can imagine that Big Mike could want to try and keep it under wraps.

If he's not injured, he's cooked.

Quit fucking trolling.

Capers might give you three down lineman given NE's running game. Though the bigger concern is likely Brady.

HOwever, this still leaves open a question. You said run 3-3 (Peppers/Matthews/Neal) and double Gronk. Who is doubling Gronk?

Coaches often talk through what the opponent is doing until that radio goes out. But the bigger question is: does Burnett make the secondary calls or does Dix have to do some when MB is near the LOS? Because if Dix is trusted then the second radio is perhaps more duplicate than necessary.

The biggest concern is what will we get from Bill Belichick?

How fast will MM and Dom Capers react to that?

Concise and sensible. Am I in the wrong universe?

I fear he has lost more than a step and he didn't have much of one to begin with.
