Bowl title last night Robert Alford Jersey 2019 , tying the Pittsburgh Steelers for most championships in NFL history. There are so many things that they’re doing right that the Cardinals have failed to emulate in their own games in the 2018 season.Tom Brady was well-protected by his offensive line, being sacked only once in the postseason. Schematically on offense, it’s not very difficult to see through their game plan. Get the ball out as fast as possible and make sure to get their playmakers involved. Josh Rosen was sacked 45 times this season. Steve Wilks and the Cardinals knew that their offensive line was a weakness. But they failed to adjust their play calls to counter it. David Johnson was used in the most ineffective way possible and the team had a lot of deep-ball plays that they should not have been called.Call plays, identify weaknesses, adjust, and execute. Cardinals couldn’t do it but the Rams couldn’t either. Here are the stats for the Super Bowl teams’ top offensive playmakers:New England Patriots:RB Sony Michel - 18 carries, 94 yards, 1 touchdownWR Julian Edelman - 10 receptions Black David Johnson Jersey , 141 yardsTE Rob Gronkowski - 6 receptions, 87 yardsLos Angeles Rams:Todd Gurley - 10 carries, 35 yardsWR Brandin Cooks - 8 receptions, 120 yardsWR Robert Woods - 5 receptions, 70 yardsThe best part about getting the ball out quickly early in the game is keeping the offensive line fresh. Such that when those teams are in need of big chunk plays in either the run or passing game, the offensive line will have the stamina to do so.As we saw last night, the Patriots’ offensive line helped Michel breakout in the second half to help secure the victory. They didn’t give up on their run game and they didn’t lose their identity.Despite the admirable job by the Rams’ defense in containing the Patriots, I can’t say the same about the Rams’ lackluster offense.Jared Goff held onto the ball for way too long throughout the duration of the game David Johnson Jersey 2019 , being sacked four times in the Super Bowl. The Rams made themselves a one-dimensional team by limiting Gurley to only 10 carries. This can’t happen if you want to win a Super Bowl. Get him the ball and trust the process.This is where the Patriots are so good. They know how to stay calm and play in these type of situations. They identified the Rams’ weakness. Pressure Goff and he’ll likely make a rookie mistake. He threw a ball up for grabs in hopes of a miracle that sealed the game for the Patriots but against one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, Stephon Gilmore. Brady and the Patriots rarely ever make mistakes like that. But give some credit to Bill Belichick, the mastermind behind their dynasty.He’s a genius that can exploit weaknesses and knows how to get his team situated in big moments like this.I’m not a big fan of the Patriots winning a title every year but they have a championship formula. Despite losing players like Josh Gordon and Danny Amendola, the next-man-up mentality worked out well for them. If we don’t want them to win, then beat them. Dethrone them. But that’s easier said than done.But one thing is for certain: Sean McVay was out-coached by Bill Belichick in every possible way. Let’s hope Kliff Kingsbury can lead the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl next season to have their shot against the most accomplished team in NFL history. Jay Gruden believes he and his staff need to do a better job of preparing Washington players to compete and the coach plans to address concerns some of Redskins expressed this week. Gruden is once again on the defensive about his team’s pre-game preparations with Washington coming off consecutive blowout losses that dropped the Redskins to 5-8 and destroyed even their faintest playoff hopes. Safety D.J. Swearinger has twice this season said practices were too lackadaisical and that players weren’t prepared, most recently after a 30-13 loss Sunday at the Los Angeles Chargers. Gruden plans to speak with Swearinger about those comments Tuesday and make some adjustments before facing the Arizona Cardinals. ”From a coaching standpoint, we’ve got to do a better job of getting these guys ready early in games and make sure they’re better prepared where they can have a plan and play fast and hard,” Gruden said on a conference call Monday. ”I don’t think we’re lacking preparation. I just think Black Chandler Jones Jersey , for whatever reason, we’re not taking our preparation to the game-day field. And that’s something we have to do.” Swearinger said he wasn’t surprised by the loss at L.A. because when ”you don’t prepare well, you’re going to fail.” Swearinger and Gruden agreed it’s on the coaching staff and players to make strides in that direction with three games left. Gruden said injuries and a revolving roster have presented a challenge for Washington, which has had 13 players on injured reserve during the regular season, including its top two running backs, two inside linebackers and two starting offensive linemen. ”We’re going to have to fight through it and make sure we get the guys that are ready to play ready to play the positions they’re going to play,” Gruden said. ”I think that the tough thing is we’re practicing with guys all over the place and on game day, they’re playing something different.” The injury situation isn’t getting any better with the possibility of shutting down left tackle Trent Williams (knee) and tight end Jordan Reed (hamstring). Linebacker Chris Carter is set for surgery on his broken right fibula Chandler Jones Jersey 2019 , starting inside linebacker Zach Brown will have an MRI on his right foot, running back Byron Marshall has a hamstring injury and receiver Ryan Grant an ankle injury. Shifting players around at various position groups has made practice more difficult, especially during weeks when roughly a dozen weren’t able to fully participate. ”You don’t have a lot of bodies where you can go, `Hey, let’s do 12 reps of first down, second down in each group,”’ Gruden said. ”I feel like from a mental standpoint these guys should be ready to go and just from a physical standpoint – for whatever reason – we’ve missed some opportunities on offense and failed to make some plays on defense. ”Is it mental? Is it physical? Whatever it is, we just have to continue to stay together and continue to prepare.” Gruden said the 6-7 Cardinals are the focus now Black Larry Fitzgerald Jersey , not the Denver Broncos or New York Giants who are waiting in Weeks 16 and 17. Without playoffs left to play for, it’s up to Gruden to figure out what will motivate his players the rest of the way, which he thinks is winning. ”That’s the only thing that matters is winning and winning the next game, so that’s what we’re going to focus on,” he said. —
