NFL Playoffs: Tedy Bruschi’s Breakdown of New England Patriots-Baltimore Ravens playoff game – ESPN Boston

Mike: Would you take the same type of approach if you were Pees?

Tedy: I think the first thing I’d say to my defensive front is that there will be times when they’ll only have six men in the box to stop the run because we have to worry about this passing game. I’d put some more emphasis on that with the linemen and linebackers. Then I’d concentrate on taking away that inside passing game, which is similar to what others have tried to do with re-routing slot receivers and receiving tight ends. I’d arm my linebackers and slot defenders with various calls – and also using defensive ends at times – to disrupt the passing game inside and between the numbers. Make them beat me outside. I’d also be concerned with running backs offset in the passing game.

Brandon Lloyd – When New England and Baltimore squared off in Week 3 of the regular season, Lloyd racked up nine receptions for 108 yards on a team-high 12 targets. Most frequently working in Ravens right cornerback Cary Williams’ coverage, Lloyd dominated on pass patterns down the sideline. While the rest of Baltimore’s defense has improved since that early-season meeting, Williams has remained the Ravens’ primary weakness in the secondary. Expect quarterback Tom Brady to once again attack Williams with Lloyd in Sunday night’s AFC Championship Game.

Vince Wilfork – Wilfork was every bit deserving of his All-Pro selection this season, but Week 3 against Baltimore wasn’t among his shining 2012 moments. Wilfork got pushed around by Ravens right guard Marshal Yanda as tailback Ray Rice totaled 150 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore’s thrilling 31-30 win. In order to contain Rice in the rematch, the Patriots are going to need a better performance from their decorated nose tackle. Wilfork is New England’s anchor in run defense.
