Maybe, Cro on Moss. Revis on Welker. Wilson on one of those new TE's. With that Moss would avoid Revis Island
Cromartie can also overpursue or try to prematurely jump a route on a deep ball which Moss is capable of making him pay. you talk about ty law I remember Moss burning him in the back of the end zone to send it to OT. its not like Law erased Moss. Id rather have Cro gambling on a shorter field with Welkers routes. and the distinct size advantage and like I previously mentioned Brady making Welker stretch out for balls to box out DB's. thats not working as well with Cro's tentacles making plays. basically I have much more confidence in a proven, Revis shutting down the home run with Cromartie having a better chance to make a play short instead of risking getting beat deep for the quick score. also with Rex's zone manipulation we could even give Cro some help and force a bad pass into a zone. I think Cro on Moss is a guarantee for 1 TD. thats jus my opinion. no matter what you do Welker will chip away and get his catches. agree to disagree. although your plan is good just another way of attacking them.
You allude to an excellent point. Revis is just back. He knows how to play Moss. Why put him on Welker, so that he has to prepare to do that, and also have the CS get Cro ready to play Moss? Not that they didn't have the time to prepare for that, but why do it that way? It's another factor, another reason, to keep Revis on Moss.
Law pretty much erased Moss in press coverage all game. It wasn't until the defense backed off the press coverage late that Moss did anything, and even on that play Law pretty much had perfect coverage - it was just a perfect pass and a great catch. I think this will be one of the few exceptions where we see Revis move around to different receivers depending on the situation.
i still point to my reasoning of why its better to put Cro on Welker. les risk of Cro getting beat deep (his ball skills are second to none but hes overly aggressive at times, taking himself out of position) and the size advantage of Cro playing in smaller space VS Welker potential for a pick vs chance of getting beat over the top by Moss. Moss is still a home run hitter, throw the proven Revis on him. not the guy trying to remind people of how good he is. plus with Revis on moss you can give Cro zone help with Welker if your worried about his tackling. or even bait a throw from what appears to be an open welker into a shifting zone. but you are right about rotating. Probably throw Revis on Welker on third downs. while doubling Moss. other than thatd, like ive said I would just prefer to see Revis make Moss a non factor and challenge brady to make perfect throws on a short field against a DB with ball skills and an obvious size advantage on Welker.
thats why i said earlier we can provide Cro with zone help. with what im saying wed basically be challenging Gronkowski and Hernandez to make plays in the open field all night. which theyre capable of but its better than losing the battle at WR VS Coverage. theyve been splitting Hernandez out cuz hes a pass catcher who cant block for shit. so if they ever put him on the LOS theyll be looking to throw into a blitz and catch us off guard. the Pats selections of those two TE's have made their offense far better than people are giving them credit for. theyll see.
I don't like the idea of Cromartie on Welker at all. Welker gets a lot of those quick receptions, and Cromartie is a horrible tackler. He's much better at covering the deep ball (Moss), and Revis is a phenomenal tackler for a Corner. I really think the loss of Pace for that game will hurt the most though in the pass defense when covering those quick flats.
The Jets are gonna play their defense. When the Pats are in their base 3 receiver set Revis will have Moss, Cro on Tate, and safety/lb coverage on Welker unless it's a passing down then Wilson will probably cover the slot. This week however, the Pats lined up Welker wide and had Moss in the slot. They also had more two receiver sets with Hernandez at the H-Back. I think the Jets are gonna have more to cover this year than last.
well like ive said the only hole in my strategy is that exactly. which like I said you give him help with a S or a LB in a zone drop for tackling asst. i cant say the same strategy 90 times. I just think people assuming Cromartie who has had problems with Vincent Jackson could cover a much faster and more athletic Moss. id rather them nickel and dime instead of getting torched over the top late in the game forcing Sanchez to win with his arm. thats just my opinion though and I also strongly stand by the fact I think Cro on Welker would give us a better chance for an INT. smaller field on Cro to play and not take himself out of position. and a immense size advantage when it comes to making a play on the ball. which Brady tries to throw to a spot only Welker can get forcing him to stretch out. could result in a nice INT. like i said just my opinion.
You should be concerned with Moss, without him in the lineup, Welker would be much less effective then he currently is.
cro cant cover welker u need a good tackler for that spot id go with wilson on welker with some safety and linebacker help
