The Pats were in a Nickel 3-3-5 (with Vrabel lined up at LDE and Harrison at MLB). The Jets were in a standard Shotgun 3 WR set. Thomas lined up over TE Keller, who went into a pass pattern. That left Washington all alone to try and stop Thomas off the edge. The latter powered through, shook off Favre's shove to the face and used good technique/leverage to bring down the both of them 20 yard loss. Nopointe, just broke this down.

It looked like the Pats were in a 4-3 Angry Stepfather-farmer and the Jets were in the ol' Red headed stepchild riding a rented mule. What formation did the Adalius Thomas sack come on?

Perhaps I could make my own diagrams using PowerPoint, Paint or Visio; but Scott, how might those look pasted into a column?

Instead of listing the players in the formation why not have a simple graphic with X's and O's depicting the formation and the jersey numbers next to each position. This will greatly enhance the readability of the column. A picture says a thousand words.

Francesca noted yesterday that it was among the 1st times he can say that Mangini was clearly outcoached. His decision to keep an aging punter who can't kick for any distance is a problem with a trick or treat qb who often leaves you deep in your own territory with 3 and outs. Graham is more of a match for a Pennington-led offense that can typically get you a few first downs. Awesome analysis.

Very informative. I especially appreciate the calling out of the draw play on 2nd and 15 as an important play. Fantastic entry, Tyler! Very informative.
