The way teams play us now (before we know what impact Boston has) is that they put 8 in the box (overtly or covertly) and they make us beat them with the pass/playaction. I think you'll agree that we seldom make teams pay for this because of Fiedler's inconsistency and ineffective long ball. We'll see if Feeley improves us in this area. Ricky demands 8, Minor won't. And I'm not Minor bashing, I like him, but Defenses will not be concerned with him and they will drop back in coverage. Minimizing the effects of our other weapons. While Minor has proved an effective releiver, I can't recall in recent years where he played an entire game (if you do please give us the stat line)....so it is difficult to imagine him starting 2 or 3 in a row if Ricky goes down...and us winning those games (depending on the opponent).
