I said this on another post but the Giants laid the blueprint. Granted their dline has better pass rushers but everything that Rex wil throw at him should have the same results. Brady hates getting sacked, knocked down, hurried, even just bumped into. We just have to keep him out of any rhythm. I hope Bart Scott barks at him or something weird like that.
Jets treating game like 'Super Bowl' By MARK CANNIZZARO Last Updated: 8:35 AM, September 15, 2009 Posted: 3:58 AM, September 15, 2009 Think the Jets, fresh off of their 24-7 rout of the Texans, are amped up about making their next bold statement -- Sunday at 1 p.m. against the Patriots in their home opener at Giants Stadium? "We're going to be playing this game like it's the Super Bowl," nose tackle Kris Jenkins said yesterday. Jets players, following their team meeting yesterday afternoon, were about 24 hours removed from their win in Houston. The Patriots, meanwhile, were getting ready for their Monday night season opener against the Bills, which the Pats won 25-24. Yet the Jets' focus was already like a laser in anticipation of that showdown against their AFC East rivals, the team that's owned them for more than seven years, winning 11 of the last 13 meetings. Rex Ryan, some four months removed from the now-infamous words he spoke about not having come to the Jets to "kiss Bill Belichick's rings," hardly backed off yesterday when speaking about the Jets' most vicious rivals. "I'm looking forward to it," Ryan said. "They're better than us in two spots that I know for sure and that's head coach and quarterback. But we'll find out who has the better team right now. We'll see." JETS BLOG Ryan, of course, was deferring to Belichick and Tom Brady, but he wasn't backing down. "It's not about me against Belichick; that would be one-sided," Ryan said. "But I think I'll compete. I know I'll compete. He's going to get everything I've got. I think New England will get everything Sanchez has, too. "When you're putting a little check (in the box for team matchups) you put the check by quarterback and you put the check by coach (for the Patriots). That's fine." Asked where the checks would go for the rest of the teams, Ryan said, "We're going to find out." Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said he doesn't expect Ryan's bravado to add any more competitive fire to the game than it will already have. "I don't think (the Patriots) will like us any (less) than they do now," Cotchery said. "They don't like us at all. We're not too much worried about that at all. "Of course (they don't like us), they're in our division. We're trying to win this division and anyone that's in the way of us trying to win is considered to be the enemy." A player with perhaps the most interesting perspective on the Jets-Patriots rivalry is linebacker Larry Izzo, who played with New England the last eight seasons before signing with the Jets this past offseason. "Someone asked me if (what Ryan said about Belichick) bothered me having been a part of those teams and if I felt disrespected," Izzo said. "Not at all. When you understand where Rex was coming from you understand he was clearly speaking about what his focus is on -- his focus is on his team. "A lot of times people want to talk about other teams -- maybe New England -- repetitively. (Ryan) made a statement saying, 'I'm not here worrying about those guys. This is my team and this is how we're going to play and everyone else better watch out.' That's how I took it." mark.cannizzaro@nypost.com
G dammit ...Harris and Scott will pulverize Welker over the middle...i mean career ending sh*t......kill that little bastard on those Bull sh*t crossing routes!!
I'm thinking about the game last night and the Pats really didn't look good on offense until the Bills sat back in coverage and stopped pressuring Brady. That's when he kept taking the underneath routes to drive them right down the field and finally hit the deep seam to Watson twice. So to me it's simple. Keep Brady uncomfortable and keep the short passes to short gains. I'm sure that's easier said then done, but I think it's really that simple.
Get ahead and inflict pain to the point where they aren't so cocky when it comes down to that last drive.
I say just keep on blitzing.... seriously.... he will probably keep dumping it off to welker but the more brady is hit the better.
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naVZyTXOqes[/YOUTUBE] The Jets could probably do it by playing football, however I am never opposed to this method.
The Pats ran like garbage last night and they have no true speed back so our line and LBs should have no problem stopping the run. They stopped the second best back in the AFC from last year last week without too much of an issue and we have Ellis back. His Brady whenever they can. STOP WELKER! This guy kills us more than anyone else. If he catches a -3 yard pass and takes it 26 yards all game we are dead. Brady didn't throw one deep ball last night and I think it was be design to avoid having him sit in the pocket for too long. Curious to see if they adjust from their dink and dunk scheme from last night that did nothing for 55 minutes.
I think Brady will ban her from going anywhere near New York. I would say pretty much any Football player with a hot wife / girlfriend shouldn't even let her fly over NYC. Sanchez is going to get some serious tail after he wins his first superbowl. Should be entertaining.
Even if we blitz successfully (and we should try early and often), the Pats can run the screens and draws better than most (hello, Kevin Faulk). If our D-Line on its own can generate enough pressure, we'll be able to drop 7 into coverage to minimize that damage. This might require Rexy and Pettine to stay one step ahead of Belichick which, honestly, might be too much to ask from a rookie head coach and coordinator. But I can dream. On the bright side, the Pats O-Line looked vulnerable last night. I'd like to see lots of a 4-man line to reduce the possibility of them triple-teaming Jenkins.
The key issue with the Giants success in the superbowl was their ability to generate a ferocious Pass rush (one that hit and harrassed brady constantly) with ONLY 4 down lineman. In other words, they rarely had to blitz to generate enough pressure to negatively affect brady . . . but we WILL have to blitz to generate that pressure . . . AND when you blitz the Pats there are consequences. I'm cautiously optimistic about this sunday but I'm still terrified of the prospect of giving up big plays to the Pats on occassions when are blitzes don't get to Brady in time.
I will be at this game. What I will be looking for is Darrelle Revis on Welker. Yes, you heard that correctly. Then have Lito Sheppard bump and run Randy Moss, with one safety over the top. I believe Bart Scott or David Harris could handle Ben Watson. If you lock up Randy Moss and Wes Welker, or do a good job, you will see the Patriots offense struggle like they always do when those two don't get their passes.
Actually, this is not a bad plan.... Couple that with knocking Brady on his ass every other snap and we've got a shot.
The best way to stop the Pats offense, is to be able to get consistent pressure with the 4 d lineman. Those are the teams the Pats have always had problems moving the ball against since they started winning.
^^ Bingo. The most effective way to slow down the Pats O is to constantly put pressure on Brady. Easier said than done yes, however I'm watching clips of the game from last night and Brady had unbelievably large passing lanes and that is just death for any defense. Not sure our D Line overall is as good as the Giants however their D Line played a brilliant game against him in the SB and we need a similar performance to beat them. We need to make sure our D line stays in their lanes and gets a steady push for all 4 quarters. It won't totally shut him down but it will definitely affect his timing and force him to get rid of the ball earlier than he wants. He surgically picks defenses apart when he has good throwing lanes so a steady D Line push/pressure is going to be crucial to winning this game.
