This is the exact reason why the Patriots have brought back the running game. You lose to the Giants in the Super Bowl last year. You lose to the Giants in the Super Bowl in 2007, and everyone says, ‘There is no threat of a running game.’ The front-four can just tee off on the offensive line, because they know you’re going to throw it. They’re going to get after Tom Brady because you’re one-dimensional. All that has changed now. They’re running the ball now and this is why. This type of matchup is why. The New York Giants pass rush is why you go back to this. The Seattle Seahawks defense is exactly why you go back to this. The Seahawks are at home, the crowd is going to be noisy, and right now in those meeting rooms the Seahawks’ defensive front is licking its chops that they get to rush Tom Brady. By running the ball, the Patriots can slow down that pass rush and control the pace and tempo. You’ve got Stevan Ridley, you’ve got Brandon Bolden, you’ve got Danny Woodhead – you can counteract their strength. This is what you’ve been working toward, and now let’s see if it works against a strong front four that can get off the ball.

BREAKING – Patriots releasing WR Mohamed Sanu

First reported by Ian Rapoport, the Patriots are releasing veteran WR Mohamed Sanu. A bit of a surprise this one, initially at the beginning of camp, I thought Sanu could be a cut candidate given his poor first season in New England along with his injury issues, but following a fairly strong camp, I had […]
