If Wade Phillips switches things up by dropping eight and rushing three, how would the pats counter that?

Hopefully by having success running the ball. But really this is a pretty common thing that Rex Ryan basically started and it’s not like it totally confounds Brady and the Pats offense. They just need to extend the play and let guys like Edelman uncover. The Pats just have so much experience, there isn’t a wrinkle that can be thrown at them that they won’t decipher and know how to beat. Might take a series or two, but they’ll get it. And as Mangini said “they’re incredibly patient” and once they know what the defense is doing they can torch it.
