I was readin' thru the post-game reviews in several places, and one thing hit me. It's this recurrent theme that we've heard since the N.E. game. Namely that teams are simply throwing different blitzing schemes and such at Drew and the passing game each week.
This is nothing new as teams who played N.E. used to do the same to neutralize him. We have a decent OL, so we can't really pin it on them. Sure, they're not perfect, but if we're waiting for an OL that is, we may be waiting a while. Plus, we've had no major injuries there all year.
I simply think the cat may be out of the bag here on this one. I have a hunch that the uncertainty of the new system, players, enthusiasm, coupled with the absence of any game tape of Bledsoe w/ the Bills may be the primary reason for his early success. So I'm not necessarily expecting this to improve. It could level off somewhere less than desireable or acceptable.
We'll see. But he has to play well against the Phins and Pats.
