Episode notes
Stidham Is A Dangerous High-Variance QB
- Jarrett Stidham is a high-ceiling, high-variance quarterback who can suddenly light up games despite limited regular-season snaps.
- Sean Payton's system and a familiar offensive line raise Stidham's floor, making New England a live underdog pick against Denver.
Use Confusion To Expose A Cold QB
- Make the Patriots' backend as cloudy and confusing as possible to challenge a quarterback with limited recent live reps.
- Keep the offense simple up front and force quick decision-making from Stidham.
Broncos Defense Could Decide AFC Game
- The Broncos defense is veteran, situationally dominant, and elite at creating quarterback hits and red-zone stops.
- That front can force Patriots mistakes and keep the game low-scoring even with an unpredictable opposing QB.
