to be fair, we replenished our D with a lot of good young blood
e.g., McPhee, Dumervil, Mosley
Dumervil now leads the team in sacks and Mosley is a favorite for DROY.
Then, again our secondary is missing Hall of Famer Reed and Patriot killer Pollard and will have to contend with a healthy Gronk.
Also, when Pollard knocked your running back out last AFC Champ game, that pretty much sealed it for us. Things will be different this time with your two healthy running backs.
All that being said, I believe this game will come down to the effectiveness of our pass rush.
I actually look forward to seeing how they handle gronkowski. If they try to have Daryl Smith cover him like they did Heath Miller last week, then they're going to have a bad time. If they use Mosley and/or Will Hill, I like that matchup. Hill already handled Jimmy Graham pretty well in NO.
