I agree with the vast majority of what has already been said. Stopping the run and RBs in the passing game is priority 1. Press the WRs at or near the LOS. Make Brady beat you throwing the ball 15+ yards down the field.
I'd really love to see Speaks reconcile letting Brady go in Foxboro by burying him if the opportunity arises too... Ford, Houston and Jones likely take care of that if they put them in third and long. [Reply]

Definitely man to man. Mix it up on longer downs. [Reply]

That game is playing on NFL Network rn. They just showed that Speaks play about 5 min ago. We’re a much better team now than we were in that game. [Reply]

Agreed. Was just watching it with my son. One or two big shots early will drastically change Brady in the pocket. Saw it happen in 04 or 05 I think at Arrowhead. [Reply]
As a Patriots fan it is well known how to get to Brady, pressure up the middle without blitzing. If you can do that you will have a very good chance of beating the Patriots. None of they other stuff matters....the problem is the Pats do have as good of an O--line they've had in years. Ingram and Bosa never layed a finger on Brady last week. Clowney and Watt didn't do much earlier in the year, infact Watt had never sacked Brady until a half sack this year. Outside rushers aren't a big problem for him, it's up the middle, up the middle, up the middle......do Cheifs generally produce a lot of pressure from the middle or is it mostly from the outside?

Agree w Pete. Take away the short shit. Pull Fuller aside and say “this is what we traded for you for. Go take Edelman away.” If Chris Hogan and whoever the fuck Phillip Dorsett is beat you deep, tip of the cap. Pull Chris Jones aside and say “dude, want to be a legend in this town forever? Go destroy Brady up the middle”.
Houston-Williams-Jones-Nnadi-Ford
(williams/Nnadi are very good against the run while Houston/Jones/Ford are very good at rushing the passer. If we can knock Brady around without losing coverage we can win. We need Jones blocking passes and putting pressure on Brady right in his face up the middle. Dline has to get their hands up!)
Hitchens - DoD(blow people up crossing the middle and catching in the flats)
Nelson-Ward-Berry-Fuller (Berry on Growk most of the time, Fuller on Edelman)
Our pressure comes from front 5, while the back 6 rough up Edelman,Hogan and Growk. Make sure we rotate coverages in the back, Zone,Man,Press etc. [Reply]
