Belichick is obsessed with keeping these running quarterbacks in the pocket and not letting them bet you with there legs. Great idea with the guys who are lacking in real pocket passer ability but that's not Rogers he is amazing in the pocket and very good when running. I would rather try get pressure and a sack and have him escape and make a play then give him 6-8-12 seconds in the pocket to pick you apart because he will. It was pathetic watching those guys rush they gave up on half the plays after 3-4 seconds and just waited to put there hands up to try and swat the ball.
