Pretty good article and the reminder of the Special Teams forcing the D into shorter fields is a good one.

I appreciate that Belichick is getting creative with Tuputala and trying to find ways to put the best players on the field.

More than anything, I just don't want to see Penn State blast away in the run game at will and then hit Tyler Warren in the PA game. I'd like to see Belichick have a laser focus on loading the box to stop the run and mostly asking Dixon / Prysocks / Shaw sink or swim in Pass D. We'll probably see a lot of Man Cover 1 so that Broussard and help defend the run.

I'm also curious who they'll mostly have on Tyler Warren. Broussard is 6'3" and Bruener is listed at 6'2".
