Say hello to the newest New England Patriot Danny Woodhead. When watching Hard Knocks this season I made a note that Woodhead seemed like the kind of player the Patriots always love. Yes he’s undersized, but he competes as hard as anyone and can/will play wherever you need him to. I think this signing is far more than just an information grab about the Jets. Believe me, what the Jets do isn’t that complicated.

Michael Lombardi’s Thoughts on Pats-Jets

by

New England travels to the Jets with a collection of offensive skill players who can cause some problems for the Jets. Everyone in the league will take shots down the field on the Jets’ defense, as it is vital to make big plays against this team. The Jets are not going to allow many 12-play drives, therefore it is vital to make big plays. The Patriots have a unique collection of tight ends, drafted with the Jets in mind. The Jets safeties do not match well on good receiving tight ends, and if the Pats protect they will make plays down the field.

I heard Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez this week say that everything is going to be fine with his team’s offense. And I am sure they will start off well Sunday against New England. But Sanchez must make plays in the game; he will have to take some chances and show mental toughness and leadership to win the game. These are the kinds of games in which only the strong survive – as evidenced by Tom Brady’s 7-1 road record against the Jets.

 The Jets are the best screen defense in the league, which limited Baltimore from utilizing a huge portion of thier playbook. The Patriots are a quick-screen team that uses the outside screen to help defeat overload pressure. Last year in the Meadowlands, the Patriots had 197 yards in the first half, but failed to make plays in the red zone. –> Duss’ note: according to my research at Football Outsiders the Jets gave up more yards to the screen pass (10.9 avg) than anyone in 2009. Not sure where Lombardi’s gets his stats but this is one that I’m not so sure about.

» Speaking of the Meadowlands, I am told New Meadowlands stadium is very quiet, very sterile and does not provide the loud home field advantage that can enhance a pressure defense.

New England Patriots Game Plan: New York Jets

by

Alright folks, this is the one we’ve been waiting for all off-season. Yes, we all knew the Bengals would be a good week one test, but it was week two at the New York Jets that everyone had circled.

A month ago I wrote a quick blog about the four possible options for when the Pats – Jets met, and here we are at the “Guns Blazing” option. I fully expect the Jets to come out and play solid football, at least for the first quarter. This is a huge test for a Patriots team that could not win on the road last year, and this will be the most hostile stadium they play in this season. The good news is that the Patriots are healthy and confident, and appear more than ready to take on the team that was the talk of the off-season.

The game plan after the jump…

Don’t Get Cocky, Patriots Fans!

Patriots Nation is probably feeling pretty good about itself today, perhaps even bordering on overconfident. The Jetslooked horrid and lost Kris Jenkins for the season (not saying I am glad he’s injured, but it is a major blow to their defense), while the Patriots are being collectively praised again as a Super Bowl contender, even by the likes of Rex Ryan! It also helps that the Colts and Chargers, perennial AFC power houses, both lost as well.

But the Jets are not a team, or even an offense, to be taken lightly.

Why the Pats and their fans still need to take this weekend’s game very seriously after the jump…
