New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels addresses the media during his conference call on Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Q: Coach [Bill] Belichick mentioned that the Raiders play quite a bit of man coverage. As the offensive coordinator, what kind of a challenge is that for the receivers? Is this a chance for them to maybe highlight their abilities in those one-on-one matchups that they might not see on a regular basis? JM: Yeah, anytime you play a team that plays a significant portion of man coverage, there's obviously a burden on the receivers to get off the line of scrimmage, be physical, use their quickness, whatever their strengths may be. All of our receivers have different strengths and then you have to try to create some separation down the field. This is a team that they do play a little bit more man coverage than some of the teams that we've played in the recent past. But, that being said, they use some different forms of it where they have some people that will help on the interior portion of the coverage, or what have you. It not only presents a challenge to the receivers, but it also requires us to pass protect well and keep them out of the middle of the pocket as long as we need to get open and create some plays in the passing game . It also requires the quarterback to do a great job of reading the coverage. If they have players in there, whether it is an extra secondary player or a linebacker that's designed to kind of help out those man-to-man players, he has to see those guys and make sure he takes care of the free player. Q: You have a receiver in Wes Welker who has nearly 100 catches and is leading the league with that amount. Are you ever surprised that a guy of his size has such success in this league that's often dominated by much bigger guys? JM: Not really. Wes' skill set is different and unique in its own right. He's a very intelligent player. He does a lot of things well. That's the thing that we are fortunate to have here ...
