Defensive Front: 2 – 5 – 4. My main concern is having enough speed and strength on the second level because that is what Seattle will threaten the most with passes to the TEs and RBs and Wilson running. You also need enough strength to stop Lynch so a three safety wont work against Seahawks’ base set. Put CJ and Ayers on the edges with Wilfork and Siliga in the middle. Hopefully that is the best mix of strength and speed. Off the line would be JC – DH – RN. Play mostly single hi. Thoughts?

My feeling is that you generally use Chandler-Wilfork-Ninkovich triangle to keep Wilson in the pocket. Your extra defensive linemen, be it Siliga, Branch or Jones (maybe Ayers in third-and-long), should be used for attack the offensive right side of the Seahawks line, their weakest spot.

Then Hightower is on Lynch and we’d have a combination of Chung and Collins on Willson and Wilson.

What worries me a lot are the stunts that the Pats use on their defensive line. They’ve been effective for pass rush but there have been times that they’ve given up the edge of the defense, a huge no no against Wilson.

I think this is primarily a heavy nickel and regular game. Chung should be a big part of it, and there will be some snaps for Tavon Wilson as well.
