On defense, it will have more to do with scheme and strategy than who starts at safety. The Fins coaching staff are forced to pick their poison, period. Therefore, here are my keys to victory for our D:

- Must get pressure AND be able to stop the run with front 7 only
- Must play zone majority of time, double covering both Moss/Welker
- Our Nickle and Dime package must make sure tackles with WR's in front
of the coverage
- Be patient, dont panic as Pats receivers make catches underneath the
zone...be able to come up and punish Randy Moss...who does not like
contact. Welker must be jammed hard at the LOS and re-directed
- No big plays i.e. over 20 yards
- Force passes to the TE vs WR's

Special note: D-Line must win in the trenches, if not, we lose.

On offense, it will be much more difficult. Pats have superior D talent vs Fins' O talent. Fins have to come up with a surprise against Pats D, which unfortunately, wont be a surprise for very long against this veteran team.
Without balance attack, there will be many 3 and outs and our D will gas.

- Must win on 1st down, i.e. 3 yds minimum
- Must convert 50% of 3rd downs
- No turnovers
- Must be able to "threaten" with downfield pass i.e. one pass +20 yds
- Use spread formations with draws and screens to offset pass rush
- Ronnie Brown must get untracked

Special teams, the hidden yardage, this is the tipping point. If all else is stalemated, SP Teams must provide game changing field position and sudden change within the game.

- Kickoffs have to set LOS at 30yd line at least, nothing inside 20 ydline
- Punts is key to changing field position battle, Bess has to break a couple
returns for more than 15 yards.
- Take the points early, that means we'll kick the long field goals.

That's it. Easier said than done.

I just hope we dont see any more bonehead plays, personnel groupings, and clock management.
 
Key #1: Ensure that the distributer cap is removed from the Pats team bus.

Key #2: A concerted effort to interdict the avialiablity or mobility of all other charter bus services.

Key #3: Possibly the toughest....Taxi's will be difficult to stop. They are shifty and have good lateral mobility and flexability.

The major keys will be to ensure that most or all of the Patriots do NOT make it to the stadium.

:D

I kid, I kid.....

Honestly, just take care of the basics and we've got a shot, however dim. The front 7 will be able to give us a shot if the secondary will hold up. I'm not confident that Bellichek and co hasn't found a way to exploit our weaknesses, 'specially since Sparano is dumbing down the defense again.
 
Never thought about it that way...'sparano dumbing down the defense..."

That's a good point...I guess that means Pats can do anything on O they please, or, maybe we wont make so many mental errors?

My main hope is that the Pats come in flat, give up a couple of turnovers, Cassel gets dinged and out of the game, AND, all that BEFORE the team bus arrives!

"Do less better. That's what we can do," he said. "From our end, we give them less to think about back there, less to communicate back there --that's what we can do. So, we'll do that."

That was the exact quote from Sparano. Make of it what you will.

Our OL is in DEEP this week boys... Talented bunch of DL with a 'defensive guru' at the helm... Jake and Samson could be in for long days with Billicheat attacking them. Of course on our side we have the creative stylings of our boy '2 shots up the gut and throw for 4 yards and out' Henning... This is where the mismatch is most glaring. Ugh.
 
Cassel is due to make mistakes. Put the pressure on and force the mistakes. Capitalize on the field position and score.

Get an early lead and repeat.

I see a 24-17 win by the Dolphins.

Field position is going to be tough. Ghost has been putting almost all his kick offs through the end zone and Hanson has been booming the punts about 15yards longer than last year.

Key #1 Score more points.

Do this and we got a chance.

Even then, the Pats are the kinda team, they have the types of players that make plays and will be down at the end of the game and still play out of it.

Poor Madden. Somebody get the geezer a turkey leg, he gets like this when he's hungry.
 
We have to play our corners tight, bump and run with a heafty dose of blitz packages that will hopefully confuse Cassel; get to him early and often. Make no mistake, we cannot and we will not stop Randy Moss, but if we play our cards right we can keep him in front of our zone coverage and minimize his gains, play our safetys deep on most plays when he gets by us(which he will). On offense we have to run, run run. Pennington has to play preschool football, throwing short, high percentage, safe passes; maybe Ginn can break one for a big gain. We are going to have to scratch and claw our way to stay in this game, but if we can scratch that hard and claw that deep, we will have demoralized the Pats enough to have a chance.
