Rebuttal? You have no one who can cover White or Burkead, and if your already thin secondary decides to double Edelman, then Gronk, Hogan and Dorsett, in addition to White and Burkhead, will shred you. [Reply]

I’m hoping we adopt a silent count to try and combat the noise and help against the pass rush. Last time we tried that it was in the AFCCG in Denver and it was a disaster. Our center at the time (Bryan Stork) got most of the blame (it wasn’t totally on him) so I’m hoping we fare better with this iteration of the O-line but I am skeptical as they haven’t been the most disciplined group we’ve had. I think neutralizing Houston, Ford, and Jones will come down to the running game. If we are able to run the ball the way we did against LA I think we will be okay but if Brady has rushers in his face all day (especially Jones in the interior) it could be a long day. [Reply]
