What We Learned From The Week 15 Game

     The win this week against Denver was really a phenomenal win. The O played pretty good, and the D played pretty good. So what should you take away from this win?

     1) This Defense can adjust mid-game to stop an offense

     I don't know if any of you noticed, but Sunday, early in the game, Bill Belichick had this defense coming out in a 4-3, with one of the linebackers on the line. And the option was just destroying the defense at that point. So Belichick decided to turn back to his favored 3-4, which gave the D more linebackers to read the option and make their move on it, which helped the defense stop Tebow and the Broncos.

     2) Chad Ochocinco can be the deep threat WR we need

     I think we all know that Ocho caught a TD early on a nice go route. The defense doubled Welker on his short out route, and Ocho started his route with a little vertical running, and then he faked the post route which moved the CB to the inside, and then he went outside and vertical and completely smoked his Corner. If New England can continue to use Ochocinco like that, he can be a massive contributor to this offense. However, Brady targeted Ocho on another deep route in the game which would have been great, if not for the fact that Ocho ran a hitch and Brady threw a go route. So he still may not be perfect, but he did what he had to.

     3) Mark Anderson can fill in for the now injured Andre Carter

     Andre Carter fell during the game holding his leg. As it turns out, he's out for the year with a quad injury. But throughout the rest of the game, Mark Anderson did an amazing job filling in, forcing fumbles and getting pressure n Tebow. If he can play well the rest of the year, he could be a big player for us.

     4) Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski aren't the only offensive weapons we have

     For several weeks, basically, we all thought Welker and Gronk were the only offensive weapons we had. This past week, Brady did a great job of spreading the ball, with Ochocinco and Hernandez both scoring once, and Danny Woodhead, BenJarvis Green-Ellis, and Tom Brady running in for scores too. Which showed that if teams double cover both Welker and Gronkowski, Brady will take advantage.
