what do you think about being predictable on the offense? i agree that pats should pound the ball until the colts prove they can stop it, but I cant help but feel you’re at a disadvantage when you become predictable. as such, I’d wanna see brady and co be balanced and then commit to the run after they’ve found success with a balanced approach.

Yeah I agree and I hope that comes across in my gameplan article. There’s no question they need to be balanced and the only reason to stick with the run is if they’re having incredible success, which I find unlikely.

And I really don’t see them going to six OL like they did in Week 11 unless they have a second half lead and are having some success on the ground.

The Pats can play pretty much any game on offense and there’s certainly an argument to be made to spread the Colts out to exploit their secondary and average pass rush.

So it doesn’t have to be one or the other, but out of the gate I’d like to see some power runs and see how they deal with it.
