Really sound assessment. Wish I could be as vague.
The defensive secondary, more specifically, the assignments in the DS is what scares me most. Provided that Jared Allen is fully out of preschool and that Eric Hicks is not just happy to be on the field, the D-Line should function well. The D tackles can plug the holes. The soft zone will keep the wrong unit from being on the field, unless we tighten up the coverage.
Anyone who read Priest Holmes' thoughts in the Star today, knows that the O can and will drive. What AS is doing, is giving Martyball back to Marty, and making Marty pass the ball. Meanwhile, second down for the Bolts means it's Drew Brees in the middle of sh*t sandwich, with the D ends being the bread. Brees can't run, and taking away the TE slant means he can't hide.
Off tackle, off Willie Roaf, will be the play-du-jour. I look forward to seeing Marty handed his game plan back in his lap, and there ain't a thing he'll be able to do about it. Running the ball on one count is the surest thing to do against the crowd. They will be too busy boo-ing the Bolts' defense to stop PH and LJ.
