Texans vs. Patriots Pre-Game Discussion

[Arky]

Looks like gametime temp will be in the low 30's in Foxboro. Freezing. The Texans didn't do so well in Green Bay but hopefully they learned a few things about playing in cold weather...

-----------------------------------------------------

How many punts/kickoffs has Tyler Ervin muffed this year? Dunno, but it seems like a bunch. If you aren't going to use Akeem Hunt in the offense, at least, let him handle the punt/kick return duties.....

-----------------------------------------------------

Capt. Obvious keys to the game:

The defense has got us this far and they will have to get it done on Saturday. Everytime Edelman catches a ball, he needs to be punished. Brady needs to feel the heat. Brady is experienced and tough enough (for a QB) to deal with pressure, but when the opportunities present themselves, the defense needs to make him pay.

-----------------------------------------------------

Patriot defense has gone somewhat under the radar. They're actually #1 in pts allowed/game with 15.6.

L Miller is obviously OB's go-to guy but did anyone else notice how effective the fresh legs of Grimes were later in the game? Sometimes, it's like our coaching staff doesn't pick up on these things....
