So they're going to knock down/hold Sproles, Graham & PT on the same play? Good luck with all that.

No, both of those strategies are used situationally and usually separate from each other.

Lol.

There's not a sound defensive scheme on the planet that allows you to jam a TE at the LOS with two defenders and bracket the RB with a DE on his release.

If the Patriots try anything remotely similar to this Brees will have a field day with them. Colston up the seams will be a joke. Stills on curls in the hole behind the jamming defenders.

It's simply not sound football. They might try it once or twice, and I have no doubt they'll try it on one of the other on numerous plays. They won't be doing it regularly on both, however.

I think that's why jamming the TE is done almost exclusively near the goal line, otherwise it would open up huge holes in the secondary.

With Lance Moore out that's probably the best way to play them until another WR steps up. You know they aren't gonna respect our running game.

Dude i literally just said that in the thing that you quoted

"Okay, who wants to try and stop Graham next?"



"Matt, Matt, Matt... if you keep doubling up on Graham every play they will torch us with Colston like that last touchdown over and over again."

O yea, on the goalline I'm treating your TE like a concubine. That fvcker isn't getting off the LOS except to run back to the huddle.

That pats just need to lay there and take it.
