This Is One Whacky Year In Football

I was talking about the offensive line scheme of the Pats being required learning for the Bengal's coaches, but really it should be the entire scheme. 

They NEVER have the ball in Jones's hands more than 2.5 seconds.  Everything is timing.  If it isn't there, throw it away.  But (this is very different than the Bengals) they use their best receiving options on the checkdown routes.  Those HAVE to be there.  Everything was dink and dunk, but that target was always open and almost always got a few YAC.

It may not be sexy, but it protects the QB and it grinds out drives.  Only thing that will stop them is a defense that can cover the short and intermediate routes extremely well and only the Packers and Bucs seem to fit that bill right now.
