BradyFTW!

Can be found at PatsCast Episode 21 (with Jay Shields)

This week, we wanted to take some time to go back over episode 20 and explain the conclusions that we reached re: what happened at the end of the Jets game. This leads to a far more detailed explanation of why we feel that the Patriots’ offense was both out-strategized and out-executed by Rex Ryan’s defense.

Jay, you are the man. Love the analysis.

Definitely makes putting a podcast together easy; I don't have to actually do anything, hahaha.

Thanks man, it's an interesting topic and one I wanted to be sure I had a firm handle on before saying anything further.

Shedding some light on adjustments vs. execution

Patspsycho

any luck with the transcript? I can't listen to the podcast.

BradyFTW!

I've been looking, but I haven't found any software that fits what I'm looking for yet; would anyone here happen to be experienced in transcription and have a recommendation on how to do this, preferably in a time-efficient way?

Nice listen. I'm about halfway through and I've taken a lot from this one.

I do want to contest one thing. I'm sure some arrogance was involved in SB42, but personnel was a big part of it. After losing Kyle Brady, NE was down to one active TE, Watson who is a poor blocker. Faulk got hurt which left the team to rely on the stable of Maroney/Evans/Eckel to be their backfield blocker/receiver. The final nail in the coffin was Neal going down. Without those three players, they didn't have the players to run a well equipped max protect set.

The funny thing is, even after all of this, NE still would have scored plenty except that Brady's mobility was virtually eliminated because he was playing on a broken ankle. Over on PatriotsPlanet, a member put up some screen shots illustrating how Brady was unable to slide to protected areas, leading to NY hits/sacks. It completely screwed with the OL's normal blocking angles.

It really was a perfect storm for NY. If arrogance was involved, it was in the choice to activate only two TEs. I'd wager that BB puts that decision up there with the biggest mistakes of his career.

I love Jay's stuff. He's still wrong on the adjustment claim, though, but I'll leave it at that.
