Both Brad Smith and Eric Smith will play big roles Sunday afternoon against the Pats. Look for Eric Smith and Brad Kassel to both record a sack and Smith will also make one other big play. The Jets will use Rhodes a decoy to free up Smith and Kassel who are both very good on the blitz. Brad Smith will also have a career game and become a big part of the game plan therefore opening things up for screens to Leon Washington.
I think the Pats will have Brad Smith pretty well scouted... I'd be suprised if he caught them napping... on the other hand Schott has been impressive with the playcalling and new plays so who knows!!!
Eric Smith has made plays anytime hes on the field, and after a lackluster start Coleman is the same ballhawk who always finds his way around the action. I am pleasantly surprised by Eric Smith though, hes looked better in pass coverage than I thought.
The one good thing about playing NE is if Dyson sits, it's not as huge as it would have been if we were playing Indy.
I still think the Jets have a Ben Graham fake in their playbook that they are waiting to use at the right time (whether it be a run off a fake punt or a throw off a fake field goal). I can't imagine that Mangini and Westhoff won't have figured out a way to use his rugby skills at some point this year.
AFL skills :lol:. Not rugby. But yes Graham fake would be good, he has alot of athleticism that many punters wouldn't.
