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.
