Ravens LB Ayanbadejo: Patriots offense 'suspect,' a 'gimmick'
This season, Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo has recorded 43 tackles and one sack, and he made a strong statement on marriage equality during the fall election.
And while you might assume Ayanbadejo would try not to provide the Patriots with any pregame motivation by Twitter trash-talking, you'd … well … be incorrect. While watching the Patriots dismantle the Texans on Sunday, Ayanbadejo -- whose team will play at New England for the AFC title next week -- tweeted out some observations.
New England does some suspect stuff on offense. Can't really respect it. Comparable to a cheap shot b4 a fight

Are you watching the game pats vs texans? If so you see the hurry snap offense catch em b4 they set up. It's a gimmick.

Their offense is good enough to be successful with out that

You know the same organization that did spygate and cut a guy the day b4 the Super Bowl

In a sport that is predicated on mano y mano, " lets hurry up n snap it " = bitchassness

Agree or disagree with him, the great news is that we only have to wait a week until we see whether the Ravens can figure out how to stop the Patriots' so-called gimmick offense. Considering New England opened as 9.5-point favorites, there's not much faith they can.
