"The Patriots have heard all week about the Jets' wide array of blitzes, and they know the chaos that can be created by coach Rex Ryan's scheme.

Laurence Maroney believes he has a cure.

Run, baby, run.

"We definitely got to make sure the running game is present," Maroney said yesterday. "If the running game is doing its thing, I think they're going to shy away from a lot of blitzes and the things they want to do."

One way to stop a team from coming after quarterback Tom Brady is to make them respect a balanced attack. The Jets may not be able to blitz with such abandon if they're trying to corral Maroney, Fred Taylor and company."
