I can't imagine he'd do it, but here's what I'd do in Belichek's shoes: Put 85 on the the slot receiver on some medium/long 3d down plays. He'll give up some passes for sure, but the confusion he'd cause as the slotman suddenly became #1 instead of the check-down would throw of Eli's play calling, and Ochocinco would very likely out-athlete Cruz OR Nicks for at least one ball.

Needs to be a 3-corner/2 safety set, so he has some coverage deep in case Chad just gets left behind, but I doubt he would - he's still the quickest guy on either team.

Pats are already awful defending 3d and medium/long, and Jints are already very good, so mix it up...
