I think they need to be able to throw the ball down the field. Not just short, intermediate routes. I think they’re going to have to do a better job of taking some shots down the field.
Sensing a theme today? Do the Pats need to stretch the field more? Is that why they lost those four games last year?
No question you want to attack all levels of a defense, but there’s no question the Patriots will be hard to stop no matter how well they throw the ball deep.
Whether he’s the proverbial deep threat or not, I can promise you Brandon Lloyd will provide a new challenge for opposing defenses. You might not need to put help over the top of him, but you better get help on him.
