1) When will the Patriots fly into Denver? Are they going to sleep one night? two? at altitude?
Would sleeping at altitude make a difference?
2) What is NFL policy on blood doping (taking your own red blood cells that you had banked earlier)? Would this help?
3) Any one on this team with sickle cell traits? (There was a
Steeler who was benched for a Denver game because of this.)
4) Most of our D-linemen look like they could run the extra mile high. Can they? But what about Siliga (Who has looked
awesome)?
5) Won't the air be used by Denver in terms of play sequencing, knowing that we'll be sucking gas after three, five or seven D-plays in a row ?
6) At least one running play by Denver in the last quarter last week looked like an X's an O's dare to the Patriots coaches. The blocking scheme looked--Scarnechia-esque.
I am assuming the air not that big of a deal
only because I am reading nothing about our (or anyone else's before us) thin air preparations. (Not taking much comfort it that.)
