There have been changes made to the Offense, very necessary changes, unfortunately the injuries have put us in a bit of a pickle, and we didn't get to see the results come into effect over time.  What about the defense.  Anyone remember the WR playing CB in N.E. and making plays.  We often see Belichek using subs for situations and switching up against different teams.  I've seen him attacking opposing O-lines at their weakness versus our style of play (this is our scheme and this is it, pretty vanilla, IMO).  I'm talking about situational subs that would create more turnovers and cause more confusion on OL's and QB's and also DC's.

Jumping.................I have been looking at defensive numbers and taking into account the guys on the defensive end that have been stepping up, and the ones that haven't been given more playing time and are productive.  Mainly speaking on Ahmad Brooks and Ray McDonald.  These two have done well in some situations in the pass rush.  I am not in the practices, so maybe they aren't good with run support, but added pressure from these players can possibly open up more dynamic players being put in the position to make plays.  I've been thinking why not have Lawson in at ILB (not every down) doing so would confuse QB's since either he or Willis can be used in coverage and either could be deadly blitzing up the middle,  using speed and height to get to the QB or bother a QB.  Ahmad Brooks has shown some ability in the run and pass rush and can free Lawson for that position.  Added pressure from McDonald would be helpful to Smith and with him being in on more than passing downs, our defense could be less predictable at who is coming on the pressure.  Send P Will along side Smith, Aubrayo, and Haralson (or Brooks) and drop the other side of the D in zone, I think that could be quick pressure against even good OL's.

Also to point out a few things on the offense, why haven't we seen Davis lined up at the WR?   Improving blocking and creating a mismatch on the outside, that makes both safeties back off with the presence of Crabtree(one on one he'll get open). We can leave the Duke at his usual position and play Walker on the outside, to create a mismatch.  I'm jsut wondering why aren't we creating mismatches on the offensive side of the ball and defensive.  I also would like to hear if anyone else has ideas about situational subs on O and D, and also if it's too early to do these things or is the personnel not that good.  I personally think we can create situations to help our O-Line with sbbing in talent and creating mismatches.  Didn't want this to be about Raye but I think this is where the offense lacks the MOST.  The OL can be helped in this manner, IMO

Please everyone share some situational substitutions you feel could be good for the team, let's move past the moral victories and fire this guy and who sucks, what do you think can ultimately improve the team as a whole?
