Beleaguered Line
‘”I’m very confident about the O line, we’re real close,” said running back Travis Henry. “We have shown in the preseason and training camp what type of football team we can be and I think we’re going to get it done.”‘
Inside slant
‘In four previous games against their old signal caller, the Patriots sacked Bledsoe 11 times, intercepted him seven times, held him to an average of 236 yards passing and won three times.’
Strategy and personnel
‘The Bills line can’t sustain its blocks long enough and Bledsoe can’t buy any time, meaning they can’t use Evans speed to get deep.’
Notes, quotes
‘QB Drew Bledsoe has been almost as easy to sack as ex-Bill Rob Johnson, who was run out of town because of his inability to make plays under pressure. Bledsoe has been sacked 111 times in 34 games with Buffalo – an average of 3.3 per game. Johnson was sacked an average of 3.63.’
