Hey Mike, because Seattle’s front 7 is built more for speed and pass-rushing, and because they’ve suffered injuries to ‘space-eating’ defensive tackles, would you anticipate the Patriots having any success with adding Fleming to the O-line and running somewhat predictably? Also, do you put any stock in the ‘force Thomas and Sherman to tackle’ (on WR screens, I imagine) discussion that has floated around?

The big game plan article is coming tomorrow, but I think there’s a place for every aspect of the Patriots’ offense in this one. The key for me is balance. What I don’t want is to get into a game where we have to throw the ball 50 times. So yes, power running then spread them out, power personnel with play action, keep the off balance and DICTATE. Don’t let them pin their ears back and get after Brady.

And yes, power sweeps, screens to LaFell, you want to at least see how willing Sherman is to tackle. Earl will get tested with Gronk in the seam and hopefully be forced to tackle him one-on-one.

Throw the whole playbook at them and find what’s working best, then hammer that.

When you play for the Patriots, you’re the most hated team in the league because you’ve had success, because they don’t like the personality of Bill Belichick, because they don’t like the pretty boy Tom Brady. They don’t like guys like us that are prepared, that are smart, that go out there and take care of business. I heard other coaches and GMs coming out talking trash. we beat you because we out-prepared you, we’re smarter than you and we’re more physical than you.
