I mean that's just perfect for what the Patriots would like to do IF you can get Nnadi/Jones firm up the gut while Houston/Ford maintained the edges. With a healthy DoD alongside Ragland, that formation would be awfully tough for the Patriots to have their way with unless they just pounded it up the middle.
And I suspect that's exactly what they'd try. So it would come down to how Nnadi and Jones held their ground and if they could do enough for the guys behind them to rally to the ball.

Chiefs have been playing some really good 1 high physical man with a safety in the box now that parker/scandrick are not on the field as much. They will need to do that since NE will definitely try to run the ball out of both 21 and 31 personnel. If they can supply a 4 man pass rush and play tight man, it will be a long day for Brady. If Berry is good to go, having him in the box as a secure tackler would be huge for the run game. Trying to stop the run while playing a 2 high look is a death sentence. Your asking your dline to two-gap at that point.
