It cannot be denied that Brady has shut me up this season. He's been great and their O-line, which was awful last season, has improved with the addition of Tristan Wirfs.
However, that Washington D Line is pretty good and can collapse the middle better than anybody this side of the Rams with their big 'Bama DTs. This has been an issue for Brady and his OL had better step it up and keep him upright Saturday night or this game could be close. Brady's record in games where he's taken 3 sacks or more is 1-3, although lately he's been given better protection. The Bucs haven't faced a hot DL since the Chicago game, so I wouldn't be shocked if their offense is disrupted. An upset is unlikely, but some experts think it could happen.
As good as Payne and Allen have been playing -- Tampa is going to have to give Donovan Smith some help or Chase Young will be in Brady's ribcage all night. Look for them to throw more screens and short stuff early to try and slow Young and Montez Sweat down. If their pass rush is a major factor I'm going to be watching closely to see if Brady stands in there tough or does what he did in Foxboro last season. This is going to be an interesting game for that reason, at least.
