After watching the Chiefs v. Pats game. It looks like to me the Pats will do the following:
1. Gilmore gets Woods 1v1
2. The Pats will double Cooks like they doubled Hill
3. You are going to see a ton of the Pats "Big Nickel" to give them more flexibility against the pass and Gurley spec. in the passing game.
Where the Rams have an advantage is pretty big IMO. The Patriots do a great job of taking away your best offensive weapon. The Rams are very diverse on offense. What are they best at? Who is their best weapon? Stop the run and make Goff beat you? OK new Orleans. Can't sto pthe run Dallas? OK, they will run you into submission.
Stop Cooks and or Woods, Reynolds will catch 6 for 80 and a TD. Right KC?
If the spotlight isn't to big, I think the Rams can have success against the Pats D.
As far as the Rams D v the Pats O, I think you will see Talib on Gronk some. But he is going to be an issue, just like every other TE this season. Littleton is going to have a huge game. if Suh and Donald play like they have been I am not scared of the run game. At least between the tackles.
I'm only really concerned about the RBs on hte edges and catching passes out in the flats. Gronk is a given. Otherwise, someone is going to have to get to Brady and make him uncomfortable. Esp early in the game.
