Football by Football: Russell Wilson: No Edge, No Chance

Good read from Matt Chatham on one of the most concerning elements for the Patriots’ Super Bowl hopes – Russell Wilson making plays outside the pocket.

As has been touched on plenty in the early game breakdowns, the Pats will likely use some kind of spy system, just as they dropped an interior rusher in ‘12 against Wilson. But the key will be Chandler and Ninkovich playing disciplined and keeping Wilson in the pocket.

He might make some plays from the pocket, but they’ll be far less deadly than the ones he’ll rack up if he’s allowed to squirt outside of it.
