They did do a nice job and from what I could see had a lot of variable coverage schemes designed to flummox Brady.
On one, Edelman motioned from right to left slot with a safety following and he lined up directly in front of 11 indicating man coverage and Brady eyeballed it. At the snap, the safety blitzed hard and Brady instinctively threw it to Edelman who had quickly been bracketed by another safety and also Harris who moved over from ILB. They went from single man to a double with pressure figuring perhaps Brady wouldn't have time to think of another option.
They had him bracketed well, but in that case Brady threaded the needle and Edelman got a 1st down, but it illustrated a larger point that the Jets have a pretty good book on Brady and had he been less accurate, as he often was yesterday, then they would have had the play defended or even picked off. It was really close.
The Pats were getting a little rhythm going in the hurry up and after the tackle Antonio Allen appeared to be half dead. The replay showed no clear reason for him to be hurt and I believe he was playing possum with an academy award-level performance in order to slow us down and allow the D to regroup. That happened twice yesterday, both times when we were rolling pretty well. Allen survived the hit and did not appear to be impeded in any way from his near-death experience. Very convincing, but also bullshit in my opinion.
The stamp of Rex was on both. He's a beauty, that one, and I'd bet he'll be holding his sides watching the film.
