They won't call holding every play

If all 11 of our guys are holding (or slamming Brady), they might run out of flags and hats to throw. What's next? Shoes? Now, if the Pats* tried this scheme, we'd call that.... just another play.

That Pats** offense relies on timing as Brady is throwing to a spot more than throwing to a receiver. It assumes the DBs are always chasing the receivers. What you do is "flip the script" and ignore the receivers and cover the spots instead. Brady either throws picks or hesitates his throws, giving our D-line a little more time to sack him.

I actually agree with this a lot

 

Study the timing routes and try and cross DB's in front of the spot Brady is going to

 

I would also go dime package from the onset and just basically dare them to run

Yeah, what a brilliant idea, what "spots" would those be, on every play?

 

I can't believe that no coaches have thought of that. :rolleyes:

 

Seriously?

You have to disrupt the routes and timing only way to do that is put your defenders right in the faces of the receivers at the snap. tO disrupt his reads ya might play folks off and have them rich to the receiver and chuck them. Having all 11 guys near the LOS and bringing different folks might disrupt his pre snap reads along with a lot of movement just like ya would with your receivers to disrupt the defense.

This is a crazy idea, but have to give you props for being creative. The clever part is the only 5 yd penalty for holding vs 15 for unsportsmanlike contact if you try to take shots at the QB close to the whistle or after

Reminds me of "Hack a Shaq" that a lot of NBA teams employed

The whole week before the next game we should have anyone on D that could cover a WR practicing pass blocking with the OL, working on playing the pass on D like you are an OT. Hand placement, footwork, hip rotation should be at the top of the list. Even the occasional "our legs got tangled and we fell down" drill, lol. Let Gilmore and AW learn how slow Mario down, and it may show them how to disrupt Gronk's routes.

I think Chan Gailey had 1 answer. Have the Bill's Offensive Line get their hands up. Tom Brady is 6'4", Edelman is 5'10" and Amandola is 5'11" which may be on the high side. With Brady's throwing motion, he has to throw down, through the Off. Line. I don't know how Manny Lawson would stack up against Gronk in coverage, but I would mix the coverage up a lot. Keep them guessing.

I like this. It's not as if Brady is a real threat to take off and run. If they're split 4 or 5 wide with no RB, unless one of our DT's bursts through the line untouched, get a bead on Brady and everyone get your hands up. At the worst it will obscure his field vision some and possibly force him to adjust his trajectories and throwing lanes.

Since we play them in November that makes lots of sense ....

Chan Gailey did not coach defense; I think you meant to say Chan Gailey's DC.

I would have Robey rush him on every pass

Robey and Rambo from opposite sides.
