BB has forgot more about football than I know.
 
But what am I missing? Everyone knows that the Pats poor play on defense last season can be directly linked to the lack of a pass rush yet he did nothing to address it. If Jerry Hughes turns out to be good, I'm going to be pissed. Do you think once the regular season starts, exotic blitz packages used far more often will be employed to hide the weakness. It seemed to work a little against the Saints. Without some kind of pressure, I don't see more than 9 wins. Color me concerned.

Hughes is one of the worst possible fits for the Pats' scheme.

Because you can't just throw any old pass rusher back there and expect it to work. 3-4 OLBs need to be able to hold their ground against offensive tackles and contain the run. Those guys are hard to find.

Look at:
Willie McGinest - Height: 6-5 Weight: 270
Mike Vrabel - Height: 6-4 Weight: 261 lbs.

You mean the scheme that makes average QB's look like Pro Bowlers?

On the basis of this post, I've known phone-booths who have forgotten more than you'll ever know.

Read the title that you wrote again. I think Bill knows what he's doing.
