Each day or other day I will post a match up Pats vs Rams you grade the match up as to who holds the advantage and why you feel that way. Just to help kill two weeks.
This is a harder call than it seems. Donald and Suh alone should give advantage to the Rams but the way the Pats build a system around what players do best rather than asking players to do things they may not do well. It's also why some great players don't work with the Pats, their great strengths can't be incorporated into the system.Today's Matchup:
Rams D- Line
vs
Pats O -line
Who holds the edge and why?
Well is the Pats are using TEs as blockers then I think you are right to include that.This is a harder call than it seems. Donald and Suh alone should give advantage to the Rams but the way the Pats build a system around what players do best rather than asking players to do things they may not do well. It's also why some great players don't work with the Pats, their great strengths can't be incorporated into the system.
Also, rating the oline without factoring in the impact of Gronk and Devlin wouldn't score the true intent of what the line does, blocking. I give the edge in blocking to the Pats by virtue of the complete job with scheming and added elements to complete the entire task of blocking on runs and pass protection.
I was thinking Trent Brown when I made the comment about using a player's strength in the system. He has been stepping back, letting rushers almost get to Brady, then pushing them either under or over Brady using the rushers momentum against them. It keeps him from being beat either left or right, and let's face it, who's gonna bull rush Trent?Pats O-Line.
Scar.
Trent Brown.
On talent, Rams easily.
On recent play, a push. The Pats OL has dominated two pretty good groups the last two weeks. But Donald is the best defensive player on the planet at the moment and Suh, Brockers, and Fowler have all been good, too.

Let me fix that...Trey Flowers playing for a big contract.
NE.
I'd say that depends on whether he wants a big contract or the biggest possible contract.So you're saying he won't be back?
