Also, in order to play man all day, you need to have the bodies and talent to cover all of the Pats' O weapons. Most teams don't have the talent to match up. Pay close attention Sunday to Edelman on his routes and you'll see what I mean.

It's easy to run vs SOFT ZONE, when your DB's are 10 yards off recievers and Linebackers are dropping 10 yard back into their zones at snap it opens lanes because the MLB's split.
That being said we are not great vs the run, hell we are not great vs alot of things. The key for us is going to be getting up early on you so our rushers can attack the pocket.
And while I think Edelman is good, the Chargers tried to rally to tackle, the keys for beating the Patriots are simple but hard to execute. You have to bring pressure up the middle, and play man.
Mix in occasional Zone Blitz, but that it.
