This is getting comical. I know enough to know that you cannot properly diagnose the problems of a defensive scheme based on a TV broadcast. Most of the time you cannot even see the secondary - cause on a pass they focus on the QB. So no, aside from a handful of plays, you'd have no clue if the Pats are having problems with coverage hand-offs - because on a TV broadcast you cannot even see the coverage, let alone identify it, or analyze if it is properly executed. In order to do this you'd either have to have the coaches tapes (you don't). Or you'd have to be present at every game (you weren't). Either way, you'd be making your assessment based off memory - and there are a 1000 defesive snaps to remember. So yeah, I'm pretty sure you have no clue as to what you are talking about. Either you are doing a poor job of bluffing. Or you seriously know so little that you aren't even aware of how little you know.
Again, you might as well have said, "Well, if you don't already know then I'm not going to tell you!"
You're funny.
You want examples? Okay, let's look at the Saints game where we had our worst breakdowns, where the D had it's worse game of the year. Sometimes you need the all-22 to diagnose the breakdowns, other times, especially in the RZ you don't.
Two communication breakdowns come to mind that I spot right away, I don't remember the plays correctly so I am probably whiffing on some details here and there, but you get the general idea.
1) On one play Brees set up in 2x2 with TE fake motion and release into short post, our D was in zone under, man over, fake zone with intent to go man 2 coverage, and Wilhite checked into fake man press (LOS) with intent to strong-side blitz, but there was a communication breakdown because Brees sold a hard left slant to TE(forgot who?) which Meriweather gambled on and broke off hard right. However he did not realized that Wilhite had checked into blitz option and had already left the X slot leaving Meacham (?) (Henderson?) open. So Meacham or Henderson sails in for a really wide open TD. As the under FS, Meriweather is responsible for picking up Wilhite's coverage when he checks into blitz.
That is a communication breakdown. Whose fault is it? Interestingly enough it does start with Mayo who as the mike is responsible for audibling third line packages.
2) On the TD that Bodden gave up in the left corner RZ. Payton called X/Y rub slant out (which you know always has a hitch option to guard) that Brees overthrew, but then to Payton's credit, he saw that Bodden and Sanders (?) lost their man on the rub (you are supposed to switch to beat the pick or rub). So what does he do but call the same play again. And of course Bodden and Sanders get mixed up and pick the hitch underneath and leave the back side open (forgot who caught it- might have been Colston?). Again I can't remember the play but I am pretty sure it was a rub with over/under out options (or hi-low drag?).
Now come to think of it, that game was beautiful if you were a saints fan, their ability to rush 3 drop 8 and
still get to Brady allowed them the backfield personnel they needed to close zones cut bubbles, smokes, and still have enough LB to sit low on cross routes to whack Welker (who was always in bracket coverage) and take away his YAC and still kill the deep play.
It was a perfect game for them, physically, execution-wise, and game planning. I know Williams has a copy of this game in his library because BB has been eating his lunch up until that point. Perfect revenge if you ask me. For that reason alone, I am rooting for the Saints to go all the way. They deserve it.
