Re: Through The Looking Glass ~ Patriots Demolish Planet Hoosten, 42-14!!
So we are seeing VW take things to a whole new level of dominance. As BB pointed out a good D involves everyone doing their job so their teammates can make plays. I think the development of K Love has allowed BB to unleash VW.
Instead of clogging the middle and occupying a couple of blockers as his primary duty having Love as a Clogger allows VW more freedom to make plays when needed.
This D given a little more development can be as good as ANY we have seen here including the championship D's.

Return to dominance indeed.
I liked what I noticed out of Deadrick too. I think he got the start (for what that's worth) over KLove.
We were in sub packages a lot Deaderick is an interior rusher in that package in Cunningham's absence I believe. The Texans were in passing situations trying to get back into the game.

Also - your use of the term Will MidFielder makes me think of calling him a "Wild Fielder" or something like that
I love Ray Lewis in that video, "Field goals ain't gonna beat us!" Loses by three.
Also, Gronkowski is just hilarious. "I'm back!!" "What happened when I was gone, did they intercept it right after?"
Faulk - "Nah, we drove the ball down"
Gronk, sounding disappointed - "Alright."

And we're getting better every week!!
McCourty's move to Free Safety predated the arrival of CB Aqib Talib by three Games, and Talib's presence cemented that switch. Talib's acquisition was important to the evolution of our Defense, but even more critical ~ of far greater Impact ~ was McCourty's switch to Free Safety, which triggered a Ripple Effect that I predicted would, along with Talib's arrival, dramatically improve our Defense ~ The Ripple Effect!! ~ and my GOD, has it ever!!
Well, it's one Hell of a giant step in that direction...wouldn't you say??
Great post!
I can't judge secondary play off the TV (and I haven't looked at the All-22) but it's just nice to have a safety that shows up on time -- you know, not crashing in to the receiver when the ball's in the air or sandbagging the cornerback when he's making a tackle or trying to strip the ball.
If Gregory and McCourty continue to develop their timing, Talib and Dennard play as tight as they have without giving up too much PI and Arrington continues to revel in the slot. Well, who knows?
(Side note: I thought the team had got there with Bodden and McCourty plus Chung and Meriweather with Butler for the slot last season. Only one survives as a starter and he's switched positions!)

Honest question - can anyone explain Baltimore's extremely successful gameplan during the AFCC last year?
We had both TEs and a healthy Wes but no Lloyd and a weaker running game. Their defense was healthy, yes, but what did they do, and how did they adjust it early in the season to counter our new run O?

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.
But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.
