Worth a read. Dan makes a game strategy argument that has shades of a poster on our very own board.

It officially feels like a David and Goliath match up this weekend. Out manned and out gunned on every level according to ...well...everyone.

Oh how sweet a victory would be. The odds are indeed very long.


Excerpt

The Redskins are 3-4. The defending champion Patriots are 7-0.

The Redskins are scoring 21 points per game. The Patriots are putting up 36.

The Redskins struggle to win on the road. The Patriots are almost automatic at home.

The Redskins’ quarterback will be making his 17th career start. The Patriots’ quarterback is a future Hall of Famer.

Indeed, on paper, Sunday’s game at Foxboro looks like a monumental mismatch, which explains why Washington has been installed as a 14-point underdog. But games, of course, aren’t contested on paper and the Redskins, like every team that’s lined up against Tom Bradyand Co. this season, believe they’ve got a chance.

I'll be interested to see this match up. Kyshoen has been a fun player to watch develop.


Excerpt

Most every slot receiver has great athleticism and quickness. But Edelman’s mind and connection with Brady elevates him further, Jarrett believes.

“Not to take anything away from other guys, but he knows the offense very well,” Jarrett said. “He and Brady pretty much have the same mind, it seems, how he moves, how he attacks defenses. They’re always on the same page.”

Aware that he must make up for his lack of experience, Jarrett has spent additional hours in the film room, studying Edelman’s tendencies, strengths and weaknesses. He also has grilled his veteran teammates on their experiences matching up with Edelman.
