Hmm Biegel and Hurns.. are they just trying to see what they have with some other players I wonder?

We may have seen the last of Taco Charlton? I think the staff prefers Van Ginkle over him. Ever since Ginks return from the IR, Taco has been Sauced!!!

I think both Hurns and Biegel are dinged up? Both left last weeks game with injuries.

Yeah, but Biegels injury didn’t seem very serious. Elbow flexor or something, and he was practicing this week. Not sure how limited he was though.

I thought Taco played well when he was in, am I missing something?

Lack of pass rush is a big deal in the NFL. The lack of that unit can make the best secondaries look bad.
Edleman should have big numbers today recieving.
Now with that I hope the coaching staff doesn't allow it to happen.
I hope they have a plan to bracket him the entire game and force Brady to beat them with someone else.

He's the only one really keeping their passing game somewhat respectable. If they can shut him down somehow and force the ball elsewhere that would be a plus. Unfortunately, we still have to defend the other guys and we have a habit of making 3rd tier WR's look like all-pros.

It's hard to say for sure why guys are inactive week to week, and it could be different reasons for different guys. You could be right, or it could be a motivational mind****, or it could just be the gameplan calls for one skill over another.

Those questions will be answered over the coming months.

I thought so too, but I think the staff values assignment soundness over athletic ability to a certain extent.

That’s a risk I’d happily take. Edelman withou question has been their most dangerous receiver for years.

I can easily see Sanu and their rookie having huge games today

But it is what it is.

Unless we can somehw find a semblance of a run game, they wont have to double anyone. They can just play 6 DB in a layered zone, and bracket over/under.

Since Fitz is our leading rusher, maybe this will be his 150+ yard game.

I salute all the fans who have watched every game this year.

Always watch (or try to) no matter what.

That plus another 400 yd passing effort just might keep us in the game....lol
