I don't know who that is/was, please elaborate. I'm not saying Brady is product of the rules, he's very good, all I'm saying he would have been targeted after the play, a lot, had he played in another era.
Watching some games right now, all PI flags coming from the ref watching the DB from behind. We get !@#$ed by the one that should have thrown the flag to the LT that held Hughes.
The Bengals rarely blitzed and with 6/7 guys in mostly zone coverages dared a young QB to make good decisions and precise passes to beat them. I hated some of EJ's passes (int included) but all in all wasn't a bad performance. Maybe he could have called more draw or delayed runs to catch the LBs by suprise.
Both EJ and Tyrod are still inexperienced and that is a fact, they need time and most of all, a much better defensive performance.
Excellent post KzooMike. Schwartz was smart enough to put his guys in position to make positive contributions to the defense. Rex Ryan is trying too hart do put his stamp on this defense that he's losing sight of what is best regarding the talent he has at hand.
