The patriots killed us with pick plays, Woodhead out of the backfield and tight ends against our safeties.

There has to be some way to defend a pick play. That is how Welker gets open most of the time. In basketball you switch men. I think that they can scheme some way to stop that.

Woodhead out of the backfield is a problem because our linebackers are too slow. All built to stop the run. When was the last time that a Jet linebacker stayed with a running back and earned a pass defensed on the statistic sheet? Or even a tight end for that matter. So that is a problem. Maybe have Coleman (who is 5' 8") shadow Woodhead is all I can come up with. Too bad Kyle Wilson is stiff as a board and no good in my opinion.

On the tight ends- I would try Cromartie on the 6 foot 6 guy and double the Hernandez guy. I don't know why a jet linebacker at least can't blast these tight ends getting off the line and leave them for a safety.

I would keep Revis on Branch unless part of the anti-pick plan is using Revis.

I would use the drop back plan that they used against Manning. The blitz is not going to work and has not worked on Brady going all the way back to Al Groh. The strip sacks we got on Brady all come from a four man rush. Sean Ellis has had some in coverage sack situations.

How is it that it is a copy cat league but no one has been able to copy Belichick's offense even Josh McDaniel who ran it and his other disciples can't copy it.

I suppose Belichick is such a genius he can even coach me to catch a 40. He would have me disguise my plug.
