Definately. Our injuries might actually prove to be a benefit, against this specific offense.
Zach is primarily a run stopping guy. He's had problems in coverage, specifically against Faulk. His replacement, Hendricks isnt much better. IMO, Hendrick's coverage gaff's arent a big deal. Vs. Jacksonville, he had a few, but that was his first game ever at OLB. Vs. the Titans, he had one, and he was covering Calico and slipped.
The positive I see is this..I'd like feedback on this, btw..But in my opinion, Morlon Greenwood is our best coverage linebacker. He'll be the one playing in nickel coverage, which I imagine we'll be in alot. The Patriots must throw to win.
Zgonina over Bowens may help too. Zgonina is a better pass rusher, and a faster guy(Screens, etc). Bowens is a run stuffer, and that's it. The Patriots should not be able to run on us.
