Patriots – Scouts’ Super Bowl Take, Part 1: How to beat the Giants – WEEI | Christopher Price

Always great stuff when Christopher Price gets takes from scouts on upcoming match-ups.

NFC scout: “The Patriots will have to be disciplined in the pass rush, not because Eli Manning is a scrambler, but because he’s very good at sliding to buy time and giving wide receivers time to create and escape coverage for big plays. The Patriots’ inside rushers can push the pocket, while the ends have to be disciplined to not give Eli space.”

AFC scout: “What stands out to me about the Patriots off last week’s game against Baltimore was their ability to get around and harass the quarterback with just their front lineman, they got push in the middle of the pocket and were able to condense to get middle pressure. That is key vs. Eli Manning.”
