Offensive Players of the Week

New England QB Tom Brady. Think about this: A week ago this morning, Tom Brady was a walk-in Hall of Famer if he never played another snap. And in the next six days, he went out and had two of the most explosive offensive days of his career. After his 31-of-40, 423-yard, three-touchdown, no-interception performance to beat San Diego, check out his two-game numbers:

W-L Points Comp.-Att. Pct. Yards TD-Int. Rating
2-0 73 63-88 .716 940 7-1 128.0

One other thing: In the last 18 regular season games, Brady has thrown 43 touchdowns with five interceptions.

NFP/Bowen: Is there a game plan to stop Brady and the Patriots?

NFP/Bowen: Is there a game plan to stop Brady and the Patriots?

Matt Bowen isn’t sure how to stop the Patriots offense, spefically Gronk and Hernando.

So, how do you handle this? Working against Hernandez, I would go with a FS (with cover skills) or a nickel corner. Aren’t many strong safeties that are going to match him athletically and a LB isn’t going to cut it. With Gronkowski? Have to get hands on him at the line of scrimmage or play with a Mike Backer in Cover 2 that can run—and hit down the field. But again, I’m reaching here for an answer.
