Playing as a Coach
There aren’t many jobs better than coaching the New England
Patriots. With Tom Brady under center and countless weapons on
offense, you can’t beat it. The Pats took the league by storm last
year by utilizing not one, but two TE’s to stretch the eld. Stick to
the same gameplan and chuck the ball up and down the eld to the
TE’s, Welker and newly acquired Brandon Lloyd.
The New England defense was a little bit of a letdown in 2011 and
they hope that improves this season. The Pats drafted Dont’a High-
tower and Chandler Jones in the rst round but both will need time
to develop into solid contributors. There are holes in the secondary
that leaves you open to the passing game, so be sure you get con-
sistent pressure on the QB to help cover up your weaknesses.
