Very disappointed to see a shutdown corner like Chris Harris lost for Denver. Opens up BB's gameplan, doesn't it?



I think Quentin Jammer had his best day ever for the Chargers Sunday. :rollseyes:

How? The NE WRs still suck if we couldn't / didn't pass against the Colts because of shitty WRs and TEs I can't imagine that will change vs Den.

Harris is a big loss. Definitely presents another challenge to the Denver defense, in addition to getting Blount on the ground.

Edelman and Amendola are both capable of making plays. I'm sure that NE will try to take advantage of whoever plays because Harris is out (Tony Carter perhaps).

You must not have heard. "Brady doesn't have receivers." It's the battle cry of the hardened Brady apologist.

Okay so you put your best DB on Edelman in all honesty Amendola has been a disappointment and we have no TE. I think Vereen would be a bigger threat, he could end up playing a key role in this game he is a very good pass catching RB.

BB is going to have a plan to get 1st downs on the ground or short yardage and hit the slots on 3rd downs. Denver fans have every reason to be concerned about that.

So Cro goes on JE and champ on Amendola (vice versa is possible but less likely) which leaves the replacement to cover collie/Tompkins(if he can play) that really presents a problem as I think they'll need to devote a safety to one of the first two and another to help with Blount

On the other side I expect Arrington to be on welker with safety help so well really see how good Collins skills are in coverage.

Which is why I think Vereen is the key and not Edleman or Amendola. I am not taking any thing away from Edeleman he has been great for us all year, I just think Vereen in this game is a bigger threat the Amendola.

How healthy is Champ, he could have issues cover JE if not 100%

Don't get the hate for Amendola sure he didn't put up welker numbers but his numbers and JE numbers were better then welker and Je from a year ago.

Personally I have no idea but my buddy who is a broncos fan said he isn't close to 100% but maybe one of the bronco fans here wants to weigh in.

Champ looked pretty good yesterday, mostly covering Royal in the slot. Not sure if he moves outside.

It's not hate it's just not confidence. I don't think he fully understands the offense yet, is out of place at times, still injury prone, has not established a comfort level with Brady. Sharon Dropson may be ready this week I don't know her status she could help if healthy, but how long before she has to change her pad one or two series. I hope Kenbrell is a go but didn't he get tweeked again this week?

What is the nature of his injury?

 

[wingsauce7]

looks like a Denver -4 1/2 to -5 opening line.

 

[TDs3nOut]

What is the nature of his injury?

Foot. But I think he's healthy now.

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Yeah if he was planting and turning his hips with no issues Sunday I suspect he will be fine. I think we will target Mankins to stomp on his foot once though just for good measure. J/K

Interesting. We are less of a favorite than we were in the game at Foxborough.
