    Big-play ability Womens Customized New England Patriots Jerseys , explosiveness make Miami hard to defend, thinks Bill Belichick Today, the New England Patriots will try to get their season back on track with a victory over the visiting Miami Dolphins. However, beating the 3-0 Dolphins will not be an easy task as the team poses a challenge in all three phases of the game. Earlier this week, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick joined quarterback-turned-analyst Scott Zolak to talk about those challenges in the latest episode of the Belestrator.The breakdown starts with a look at the offensive side of the ball, which features a group of talented wide receivers led by Kenny Stills, Jakeem Grant and Albert Wilson. Belichick praised the group for its speed and ability to create big plays: “They’re so explosive,” the future Hall of Famer said about them. “They can score from anywhere in a hurry. They got some fast players and if they get a little space it’s hard to catch them from behind.”Belichick also praised his head coaching counterpart www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com ;, Adam Gase in how he uses his talented receiving corps: “Coach Gase does a great job of mixing up their offensive calls and keeping you off balance. They’ve been able to hit some big plays [...] where you think defensively you’re in pretty good shape,” Belichick noted. “A lot of speed, a lot of explosive plays and they have so many different guys that can do it.”“Grant, Wilson, Stills – they got a host of them,” New England’s coach continued. “Their explosiveness and big play ability on offense, additionally the other things they do when they grind it out and move the ball, make them tough to defend.” However New England Patriots Womens T-Shirt , the Dolphins’ offensive firepower is not the only reason why they are currently one of only three unbeaten teams left in the NFL: Miami’s defense also has delivered so far.Belichick and Zolak take a look at one aspect of the unit: it’s productive pass rush, led by edge rushers Robert Quinn and Cameron Wake. “He has a very good speed rush, kind of reminiscent of Jason Taylor,” Belichick said about Quinn before taking a wider look at the unit .”Good inside rushers, good edge rushers. It’s a very potent pass rushing group. Pass protection and blocking these guys in the running game is a big challenge.”New England being up to this challenge – as well as the one posed by Miami’s explosive offense – will play a big role in determining whether or not the team can snap its two-game losing streak and improve to 2-2.Week 2 Patriots vs Jaguars: Running backs Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead both expected to play today Going against one of the NFL’s best defenses today, the New England Patriots will need all available hands on deck to defeat Jacksonville Jaguars. This will not quite be the case, as starting right tackle Marcus Cannon has already been declared out yesterday due to a calf injury. However, two other players that entered the weekend listed as “questionable” on the final injury report are reportedly expected to be ready for the game.According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter New England Patriots Hats , both Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead will likely be good to go against the Jaguars:Michel missed last week’s season opener due to a knee injury he suffered during the Patriots’ training camp practice on August 1. While the first-round rookie returned to practice in limited action in late August, his NFL debut had to wait – until today when it appears that he will finally hit the field. This certainly is a good development for a New England backfield that saw Jeremy Hill go to injured reserve earlier this week.The same has to be said about Rex Burkhead’s injury status. Although not quite as optimistic-sounding as Michel’s outlook, it seems as if the second-year Patriot will also play against the Jaguars. Burkhead, who was in the concussion protocol earlier this week, may have a limited role but would add much-needed depth to the team’s offensive arsenal.
