It seems that the pass-catching TE is coming up huge for these playoffs. I think the Cover 2 seems to be dictating this.
A. Gates - 8 for 87 yds
D. Clark - 7 for 33 yds
J. Peelle - 3 for 11 yds
S. Spach - 3 for 34 yds
If Miller and Spaeth have less than 5 catches between them next week I will be disappointed. Ben needs to look for these guys first. Watching the speed of these playoff defenses, I don't think our OL will hold up more than 3 sec. on a given pass play. Ben needs to shorten his game, and anticipate the throws, something he has not always done well. Our receivers can't afford any 3rd down drops like we have been seeing.
