What New England needs to do: Establish the running game, aim for 27 rushing attempts When you think about New England’s offense, the first thing that comes to mind is Tom Brady and the Patriots’ devastating passing attack. But the best way to keep the opposing defense honest and open up the secondary for exploitation is to establish a legitimate running game.
Establishing a healthy dose of the run will go a long way to opening up the secondary for the lethal Brady. In their 13 wins this season, the Patriots averaged 28.9 rushing attempts per game. In fact, New England went 7-0 in games in which they ran the ball 27 or more times. But in the Patriots’ three losses, the team averaged only 20.7 carries per game and failed to top 27 attempts in each of those three defeats. Yes, a big second half lead means a team can focus more on the running game in order to drain the clock, but New England ran the ball an average of only 3.25 times more in the second half this season then they did in the first. That’s not a big discrepancy for a team that finished the year ranked second in the NFL in total offensive plays per game (67.6).

Brady had something like 2 incompletions this game, I expect a similar performance this weekend.

Great, interesting stuff…
“They wanted to go to an all-out passing attack with Tom Brady,” Mullen said. “A lot of their interests were in the slot receivers — how do you get the Wes Welkers matched up on a linebacker? In 2007 they had a Randy Moss, who we knew if they get one-on-one we know what we could do. Once they start zone defense, if there is zone coverage, a good slot receiver will be working on linebackers. Josh was never afraid to fit the offense around the players he had.”
If it is to be, it is up to me.

For those who can’t listen to the Reiss/Bruschi podcast you can check out a great deal of their analysis from it here. However you miss out on the Bruschi impression of BB.
Bruschi: I think Edelman needs to play more. He’s almost like a smaller Rodney Harrison out there. He talks trash out there. He’s always tackling aggressively. When he hits you at the knees, he lets you know about it. Even on special teams, when he’s tackled on a punt return and it’s a good play by the other team, he goes into the face of the player and has something to say. That’s his mentality. It’s almost a defensive mentality. Those are the type of guys you want on the field.
