BringBackFergy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 mikerodak 11:30am via Cloudhopper Jeff Tuel in full Tom Brady mode today. Ankle tape, socks, wristband, glove on left hand. Takes that scout team thing to a new level. I'm somewhat surprised Rodak hasn't been filming practice on his iPhone and sending Vine plays to Bellicheat this afternoon.

thebandit27 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The LBs need to stay disciplined and get enough depth on their drops to cut off the underneath zones. If they don't, then things like the above will happen. Expect a good amount of single coverage on the outside and zone in the middle 1/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget, folks, Jim Schwartz got his start on Belichick's staff as well. Edited October 9, 2014 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he is the DL coach here but he was the LB coach in NE when they had Gronk and Hernandez out there. He practiced against them every day when they were in their prime, before Gronk was made of plastic and Hernandez was in prison. Now it is Bionic Gronk and a UDFA from Rutgers.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 He has no idea what he's doing. Now I have no more proof of that than he does know what he's doing, But I know it's easier to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Anyone who peppers their Johnson can't convince me that they know what to do about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Anyone who peppers their Johnson can't convince me that they know what to do about anything. Spoken like a man who's never tried it.

TakeYouToTasker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I want to believe that's going to be the difference Sunday. I saw the Pats killing Cinci with their tight ends Sunday and that sent chills down my spine...since that has been how they killed us so many times. Evidently the kid they got from Tampa is finally helping them play offense they way they did before Hernandez got locked up. Any of you X and O addicts think you can tell me what Pepper Johnson might suggest to slow them down? Pepper Johnson is the D-line coach. You're aware of this, right?

YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Pepper Johnson is the D-line coach. You're aware of this, right? he was the LB coach in NE. He practiced against Brady for last 14 yrs. Against Gronk, Hernandez. He coached under Belichick for 26 yrs. Meetings, game planning, film study. I'm sure he has some knowledge.

TakeYouToTasker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 i completely disagree Based on what? You think there's a magic bullet? Pepper knows what Brady's kryptonite is? Is he a tight end whisperer? Some trinket of knowledge which only he has which will take away Gronk's size and athleticism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some trinket of knowledge which only he has which will take away Gronk's size and athleticism? based on the fact that yes, he has more knowledge than can be gained from film study to apply to a game plan and defensive strategy. Whether or not our players can execute that is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 What secret knowledge of Gronk do you think he has? im not referring to secret knowledge of a single player. I am referring to knowledge of game planning from the other side utilizing specific personnel tendencies toward matchups. That involves a good deal more than readily available film. He has sat in meetings for 14 years talking about what the offense does not want to see, what they feel comfortable doing and not doing against certain packages and formations. It's a similar advantage to what Schwartz had last Sunday. You can gain some info from game film, but practice and meetings are where the knowledge is. That's why even the pro scouts can't rely on film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
