The only defenses that seems to slow down the pats are with physical man coverage and front 4 pressure.
Our defense is mainly going to be cover 3 with zone. It's a pressure based, let them beat you in spots kind of defense.
Doesn't that fall right into the Patriots hands. They want the short, quick routes. They want to find space. They want to run free off the line.
I know the Pats tear up pretty much all defenses, but I feel like we are just starting with a losing plan against a team that needs to be overcome to get us over the hump.
Yes, we can adjust our defense in the moment and it's only one team. I get it. The sky isn't falling. This is just a conversation that I'm surprised hasn't been talked about much yet.
