And that's exactly what has killed us this year. Texans DBs play as far off their man in man coverage as anyone you'll see. They went to more zone to coverage to take some of that away.
Zone coverage has it's weakness too. A good QB and receivers that can recognize zone pre snap will pick it apart
No one is better at reading a defense than Brady and getting the ball out quick when he senses the pressure is coming. He'll be able to negate the pass rush by doing that.
The Texans were able to stop Dalton from doing that by using more zone coverage and disguising it well. Brady has film to watch of them doing that now.
I heard an analyst recently talking about what makes Brady so good.
He put it something like this. Brady's brain runs a 4.1 forty when it comes to running that offense.
If they can't disguise the coverage and jump some routes it'll be a long night on the field for the defense.
