What's the gameplan?

Last week was a bit of a doozy when you watch it again. Josh McDaniels drew up a game plan that was supposed to challenge Seattle through the air and keep control of the game clock. With 27 rushing attempts to Brady's 58 passing, I'd say that it was a bit lopsided and honestly, not the right call.

In a conference call with Field Yates, McDaniels tried to explain what exactly it was that they were shooting for.

We mixed the running game in there... and then used a lot of short passes to kind of go hand-in-hand with that, to try to overall control the clock and really try to effectively move the ball against the scheme that they have...

I understand what he was trying to do, but I feel as though they didn't stick to it after the second half. Coming off back to back games where you had 2 running backs in Ridley and Bolden exceeded 100 yards on the ground and you have the Kevin Falk-es Danny Woodhead as your third-down back, you have to have a bit of faith in your ground game. I'm sure things probably changed after Bolden went out with his apparent knee injury but you then can implement Vereen who hasn't gotten his fair share of touches in my mind.

So what does all of this mean going into this Sunday's game against the Jets?

Time to go back to what was working for us. The Jets come in to this game ranked 8th in passing defense and a measly 28th in rushing defense. We need our backs to exploit this. Even if Bolden isn't good to go for this week, there are enough options on the roster to replace him in a marginal role. Ridley needs to get 27-30 touches on his own to set up Brady bomb's off the play action. If they can get a running game going, the defensive box will slowly begin to collapse and when the time is right, Brady will know to go to the air (Gronk up the seam).
