Great, interesting stuff…

“They wanted to go to an all-out passing attack with Tom Brady,” Mullen said. “A lot of their interests were in the slot receivers — how do you get the Wes Welkers matched up on a linebacker? In 2007 they had a Randy Moss, who we knew if they get one-on-one we know what we could do. Once they start zone defense, if there is zone coverage, a good slot receiver will be working on linebackers. Josh was never afraid to fit the offense around the players he had.”

For those who can’t listen to the Reiss/Bruschi podcast you can check out a great deal of their analysis from it here. However you miss out on the Bruschi impression of BB.

Bruschi: I think Edelman needs to play more. He’s almost like a smaller Rodney Harrison out there. He talks trash out there. He’s always tackling aggressively. When he hits you at the knees, he lets you know about it. Even on special teams, when he’s tackled on a punt return and it’s a good play by the other team, he goes into the face of the player and has something to say. That’s his mentality. It’s almost a defensive mentality. Those are the type of guys you want on the field.
