but was Green that great against Oakland and Denver? Before the Miami game, didnt Huard have huge games against SD,Seattle, and at St.Louis?
And I do think how you manage the game affects the defense. Make mistakes, the defense has to be on the field more. Play mistake free, you have sustained drives, the D doesnt have to do as much.
the offense helps the defense.
The Patriots have driven this home to their players, like Huard, for years, the best example being SB 36. And Belichek and Parcells used it in SB 25 in the Giants win over Buffalo. Making your offense part of the defensive strategy.
I think this is what Edwards wants to do here, and in a lot of ways Huard fits into that more than Green.
It was the same thing in New England. Bledsoe was the Pro Bowl guy, the one with the stats, the pure passer. But even in 2001 Brady knew how to manage the game better, while still making the throws he had to when it counts.
Its not about stats, its about winning.
Can you tell Im from New England originally? Anyway, theres a reason the Marinos, the Mannings, the Bledoes dont win titles while the Montana's, Aikmans,Bradys, Roethlisburgers, and even the lesser QB's who have won do.
its not about stats and throwing the ball around.
I think they would have beaten Oakland and Denver with Huard. And had a better shot against the Ravens.
Just my opinion. I could be persuaded.
