    Are you people daft? Don't blitz Brady

    I keep seeing posts saying the way to beat Brady is to blitz and pressure him. They are driving me crazy. No, no no no no, do NOT blitz Tom Brady!

    Grantland just did an article on how Brady is a "blitz beater".
    http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6961373/beating-blitz


    Tom Brady is known as a short yardage passer. His bread and butter is the screen pass and short slants. Do you know what those plays do? Those plays counter the blitz. Tom Brady is tops in the league at killing you when you blitz.

    That 99 yard Brady to Welker TD last week, yes you guessed it: blitz.

    Have any of you watched the games where the Jets beat the Pats? They Jets did exactly the opposite to win that game: they did NOT blitz.

    If you blitz, especially a 6 man rush, Tom Brady will eat you alive.

    Had to get that off my chest, thanks.

    Re: Are you people daft? Don't blitz Brady

    Welcome back Kotter.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      People may respond by pointing to the Super Bowl loss, but the killer element of that Pats team was going deep to Moss. Not so now.

        You need to get pressure by just using your front 4 which we haven't been doing. The giants were able to achieve it inthe sb.

          That's right, give him all day to throw. Don't blitz him, make our secondary and linebackers guess where the receivers are going so that Brady can make his reads, lead his receivers, et cetera. There's no beating Brady, you can only beat the other 21 players on the field.
          Bye Bye Brady...

            If you do not put pressure on Brady he'll pick you apart..

            yeah he is also good at the short stuff, but you don't put up 900 yds passing in 2 games dinking and dunking

              Pressure up the gut is the key.

                I don't care what you do. Just don't make posts telling me that the Bills should to blitz to win this game.

                  I'll point out the Super Bowl loss. The reason the G-Men had success against Brady is because their front four were good enough to pressure Brady without resorting to the blitz.

                  Brady's a brilliant QB and he'll beat the blitz almost every time. Honestly, it would just help if he has an off day.

                    you have to blitz him and play man coverage. that is how teams beat the pats. the jets and giants in the super bowl to name 2. you get pass rush (it doesnt have to be sacks it just has to be consistant pressure) and put in on your DB's. now are our DB's good enough to win the matchups? thats the question. if we are physical and get a turnover or 2 it could make for an interesting game.

                      Watch the Giants Super Bowl. It all came up the middle.

                        I wouldn't say don't blitz completely though. I'm not advocating jailbreak blitzes or anything like that, but I think we're going to need to bring a 5th guy on occasion, rotating who that is and being creative with it, because I'm not sold on 4 being up to the task by themselves.....................
                        Sounds reasonable. Also I think you have to keep a keen eye on screen passes. Pats love screen passes, and get really good yardage from them. (I know this from the pain of watching 100's of them work)

                            U have to pressure him but the gsmeplan can't be.focused.on the blitz

                            You need different coverages.and.schemes.but what u really need.most is pressure.from front four

                              In a 3-4, that affords you one extra man that can blitz. Williams and Dareus aren't the type that make a lot of sacks. Having a little support from someone like Merriman will be effective as long as the insides and at least one of the two outsides stays home and covers, which this team has done very well.
