This thread is to discuss 2 topics:
1. The first is to say I really like that Belichick has shortened up the rotation on defense, in years past we’ve had so many moving parts and players subbing in and out depending on downs and situations. This season the sub rotation is simplified with only the front having any moving parts, which Belichick has basically kept routine.
Defensive line rotation
Series #1 – Ninkovich | Kelly | Wilfork | Jones
Series #2 – Ninkovich | Kelly | Wilfork | Jones
Series #3 – Ninkovich | Vellano | Wilfork | Jones
Series #4 – Ninkovich | Kelly | Vellano | Jones
Pass-rush situation – Buchanan | Jones | Wilfork | Ninkovich
2. The second is to recognize the strong play of Buchanan and Vellano in the first 2 games of the season, Buchanan looks like an absolute beast out there, and him and Jones coming from the right side in passing situation was dominate on Thursday. Vellano looks great in my opinion, I was very impressed with him in both games this season, he is all over the field making plays which is something Love and Deaderick were not doing last season.
