I say Cromartie, since brady will probably come out firing at him. Also, Keller should be a big part of the game.
NFLN agrees http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d81daf5a4/Cromartie-the-X-factor I too think its Cromartie. Its obvious, he will be targeted for the long ball and needs to really use his long arms and wrap these little receivers up. An interception would be nice too.
Everybody. The Team as a whole needs to play perfect on Sunday, in all facets. However, if there was such thing as playing better than perfect, these are the guys who have to do it: 1. The lines - O-line and D-line have to absolutely fucking DOMINATE on Sunday. He who controls the line of scrimmage wins this game. We need to keep Brady off the field as long as possible by sustaining long, run-dominated drives while simultaneously pressuring Brady in the pocket, leaving him with little margin to find his open receivers. 2. Sanchez - Absolutely critical that he doesn't make any stupid mistakes. That means no bad passes, interceptions, misreads, etc. If you can't find an open man, check down or throw it away. All I want is for Sanchez to manage the game, making the occasional mid-range completion to keep the Pats honest, all while handing off to his RBs for the most part. 3. Safeties and LB corps - Revis and Cro should shut down Welker and Branch sufficiently (Revis should, at least) but it's up to the rest of the secondary to negate the TEs, Woodhead, and the rest.
Eric Smith and Cro. Brady will target these 2 all day. Also, the pass rushing. When Brady gets hit (a lot, especially) they lose.
The O-line if they can control that D-Line and keep brady off the field it would do wonders, obviously.
Pool and Keller. I just rewatched last weeks game and 3 things stood out to me. 1. Pool had his best game as a Jet 2. Sanchez was very good at everything except throwing 3. Our offense is so much more efficient when it is centered around Keller and the run
Hello....Schotty. He better not have the kid throwing 50-60 yard bombs in the cold and win. A quick slant or 8 would be good, too. We have the perfect receivers for that.
Cromartie better pull his head out and play more bump and run. He's way more effective when doing that. They broke the Cromartie and Branch match-up down on NFL Network...that's a key one.
if your bro is going to step up and make a game-changing play for that defense.....tomorrow would be the perfect time to do it, my friend. I'll be rooting for Kyle.
