The other three finalists primarily feature rushing attacks. The Pats are the only left who can really pass worth a damn, and even they are a big step down in that department from where they were a year ago. If Denver can get past them, the situation won't be hopeless.

Carter hasn't learned to track the ball in the air, contest it when the WR goes up to get it, and isn't physical enough to tackle well.
Combine that with our piss poor deep safety play and it's why Carter doesn't see the field.
Jammer/Webster can at least tackle well and contest the ball.

Let's keep in mind how difficult playing cornerback is in today's NFL. I dunno of a position more susceptible to Jekyll & Hyde play quality from week-to-week. A lot probably depends on the officiating crew.
They could stick Jammer out there next week and he might be fine. I wouldn't be surprised. Carter or Webster, too. Since none of three is heads and shoulders above the others, it seems pretty difficult to feel too strongly about any decision the coaching staff makes.
This game won't be won or lost in our secondary, anyway: Stuff the run and PFM the **** up.

Champ and DRC on Amendola and Edelman. Carter is probably the best cover guy left, but rotate between him and Webster/Jammer for the other position, TE coverage.
Really, the key is stop the run and make Brady throw early to covered guys. If he sits in the pocket it is lights out for the secondary.
Gonna be a tough game...but I think we should be able to beat NE if the O doesn't leave points all over the field, like yesterday.

Originally posted by itswutz4dinna View PostI'd start with Carter since he has the most upside. If he starts blowing tackles or getting picked on by the refs then bring in Webster.
But Carter has the potential to shut guys down.

The reason we only scored 24 is we only had the ball 7 times, not because the offense screwed up. Against NE we will get the ball 11-13 times so we should easily score 31+ even with the same offensive "mistakes."

He's been a train wreck when he's been in this year. I'm not sure what changed.
Nothing that we can really do, just hope that Manning and the offense can outpace the other teams. The margin of error has tightened, but we can still do this.

But it's a pick your poison type of thing. We're gonna have to get pressure and get sacks. There's just no way around it.
