Is The Superbowl Ochocinco's Time To Shine?

You know, there's been a LOT of hate towards Ochocinco this year. I don't get it though, because he's done relatively well when he's gotten play time. But BB hasn't given him much. So do you think he can be big against the Giants? I say yes. And here's why.

     1) The Giants will play press coverage

     The last time the Patriots played the NYG, they played a lot of press coverage on everybody. And it worked amazingly well. They stood Welker and Branch up at the line, while double covering Gronkowski and Hernandez, which left New England begging for ways to move the ball, as most of the day, the Pats O only got a few yards each pass play. But Ochocinco is a deep reciever. He can beat a tight coverage, and then be wide open for a deep bomb TD. The Giants won't be expecting it, as I doubt they've gameplanned for Ochocinco at all. So if Brady sees tight coverage, and drops a beauty into Ochocinco's hands for a deep TD, do you think the Giants will stop playing such tight coverage? Yes, they will. They'd be stupid not to. And that would open everything up for Welker, Gronkowski, and Hernandez. That could allow the Patriots to keep the ball moving all day.

     2) He's playing for his Father

     Just like how the entire New England team has been playing for Myra this year, Ochocinco is now playing for Myra and his Father. If he plays like Brett Favre did after he lost his father, the Giants D will be in for a very long day.

     3) The Giants like to blitz

     We all know about the Giants defense and how they enjoy blitzing their linebackers like Mathias Kiwanuka. But we all also know that blitzing leaves less men to cover receivers. So let's say the Giants only blitz Kiwanuka and their 4 linemen. That's 5 blitzers and 6 men in coverage. So there's 6 Giants defensive players in coverage against 5 NE receivers (barring a RB or TE staying behind to block). And even with Gronkowski injured, the Giants will want to double him, and double either Hernandez or Welker. So now there's 2 defensive players covering Gronkowski and 2 defensive players covering Welker, with one on hernandez and one on Branch. So who's going to cover Ochocinco? They'll have to take a man off Welker to cover Ochocinco, or just not think of Ocho as a threat, just like the Broncos did against New England in the regular season matchup. And when the Broncos did that, Ochocinco got a wide open touchdown. So in my mind, there's too many weapons for the Giants to cover. 

     This is why I think Ochocinco will have a stellar performance against this New York Giants defense, and lead New England to their fourth Super Bowl title in 11 years.

New England Keys To Beating The Denver Broncos

     There's going to need to be some big improvements to this defense and offense when we play Denver, or this could be a long day on Saturday.
     1) Cover The Deep Ball
     Cover the deep ball. It sounds so simple when you say it, doesn't it? Yet almost every game, this New England defense allows at least 2 deep balls to be caught, even if the Receiver is covered well. It just seems that this defense doesn't make plays on the ball, but rather on the player after the ball is caught. Now, hopefully moving McCourty to Safety to utilize his ability to read plays will help with this problem. We'll see on Sunday, but the D can NOT allow Tebow to throw the ball all day.
     2) Win The Turnover Battle
     The past 3 playoff games the Patriots have played in (Super Bowl 42, 2009 Wild Card against Baltimore, 2010 Divisional against the NYJ), New England has done a bad job of winning the turnover battle. In fact, in those 3 games, Tom Brady had a mere 5 TDs and 4 INTs. That's terrible. We all know Brady should be putting up 3 TDs and maybe a pick in a regular game. And the defense needs to get turnovers too. If the D can get turnovers as easily as they did last time (4 fumble recoveries I believe), it should be a good game, and if Brady can stop forcing the ball into places he shouldn't be, NE should handily beat the Broncos at Gillette.
     3) Score Early and Often
     In the past several games of the regular season, this New England offense has been horrible early in the game, often going 3-and-out. They fell behind by 17 against Miami and fell behind 21 points against Buffalo. Both the Offense and Defense need to get scores and stops in the first quarter against Denver and  they should be alright.
     4) Get Pressure On Tebow Without Excessive Blitzing
      The last time New England played Denver, they did a great job of blitzing a linebacker or two, instead of blitzing everyone (which is the mistake Pittsburgh made). They blitzed Ninkovich and Fletcher very well last time, and both got to Tebow a couple times to apply pressure, even if they didn't get a sack. If you can put pressure on Tebow and wrap up your tackles when you go to take Tebow down, you can force him into making bad throws or make him throw it away. That could be a major factor against Denver, and help NE get their first playoff win since January, 2008.
     5) Use The Run To Set Up The Pass
     Stevan Ridley. Danny Woodhead. BenJarvis Green-Ellis. Those are the 3 men that need to play well on sunday, other than the Offensive line. Denver S Brian Dawkins is likely to not play Sunday. New England has to run the ball well early on. That could set up great play action opportunities, which Tom Brady and Wes Welker thrive off of. And with Denver down a safety, I'm assuming the replacement will jump on the first sight of a run, allowing the deep ball to be wide open all day. If New England can run well and take some of the playoff pressure off of Tom Brady, New England has a great shot at beating this Denver team that seems to be on fire coming into Foxborough.
