I think May, how he plays, this is how you go against that defense.
I think the special teams advantage
that the Seahawks have against so many teams, including the Rams and 49ers, is kind of, I wouldn't say neutral, but mitigated a little bit, because the Patriots are pretty good on special teams as well.
So I just think that there is a, they're more of a live dog than I think they're getting credit for, which actually, I know the Seahawks look like a juggernaut, don't get me wrong, but the Patriots schedule thing, like they play in the ACC,
or the Big 12, is that all of a sudden that's getting brought up.
It's the NFL.
That to me, yes, there are differences with that, but it's not as drastic as I think it's getting made out to be.
We've got a week of bye weeks.
I think the Patriots, again, just have some things that can maybe get after Darnold, stuff the run game, make it a slog, turn it into like that 2016 type of game, 17-13 type of game.
I think it's more just like I think the other parts, the non-Drake May parts have kind of gotten underrated.
Their defense has gotten kind of underrated.
After the opening scripts, after those first 15 plays,
They're the best defense in the NFL.
They adjust better than anybody.
They have higher marks than the Seahawks do after the opening script and one of the best defenses as well.
So not only just that, but Drake May's style is how you have to beat the Seahawks.
That's more what it is.
It's not a style of defense that I'm like, oh man, this is really going to give them issues.
They're baiting them into these throws.
It's actually how May wants to push the ball.
