Thank you Jobumoplata

I have written those kinds of articles for a couple of year but this is the first year for the web page. Just came online and will get better as time goes on.

Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you would like to see something…maybe, in time, we can do it.

Okay, so the real question: what's Miami's situation like on the left side of the front 7?

Were the Pats exploiting a weakness, or were they exposing a tendency: run right, dump-off left? ‘Cause that’s not an ideal matchup against the Chargers.

Their front 7 is pretty good. So is their 1st and 2nd CB. But their safeties and lower tier CB’s are blah. The Pats decided to go 221, sometimes 311, and just spread them out and go no huddle. The entire Fins D wasn’t properly conditioned as evident of their players crapping up like Vonte Davis, Sean Smith.

Conditionioning was a big factor across the league last week

The lockout really caused a drop-off in conditioning and it showed last week compared first weeks in other years. The Pats were smart to push it with the no huddle.

This week, the game being later in the day and the weather (hopefully) being not too hot, do you think the Pats push the no-huddle again?

If the Chargers O can get some TOP drives maybe conditioning will not be as big a factor this week.

Dunno

I hope so. I was calling for a no huddle attack since 2009. The Pats offense moves so much faster w.o a huddle but the Pats like to use a lot of options and different formations. So I doubt it.

I'd expect so,

Purely because that’s what good QBs do when they get the defensive personnel they want on the field. The cross-country flight probably won’t help the Chargers either.
