You can't give up after a few two- or three-yard carries. And do you really think Brady throwing the ball 45 times a game is the answer? Running the ball takes repetition and patience.

The one that averaged 4 yards a carry on Sunday in 20 measly carries? Is that the one that has shown no ability to run the ball?

Mike, I put this post up around 1 this afternoon, and you responded at about 5 - why are you trying to sleep in the middle of the day? Are you a nightwatchman? I doubt it. If I've done something to disrupt your slothful ways, I'm glad. If you hold your computer upside down the answer appears on your screen.

There were quite a few times during the Jets again, where I said to myself, they'll run a draw, or a wide receiver screen or run off left tackle and sure enough they did. I am sure opposing defences are seeing that for themselves too. The Brady/O'Brien/Belichick/McDaniels(?) offence has become stale and lacking in explosiveness. The Patriots brains trust needs to shake up the playbook and play calling and keep defences off balance. Since the Giants superbowl loss the accepted formula for beating the Patriots is blitz Brady and keep a blanket on Moss. If you are good enough to do those well, you will win.
