Good article.
For all the bashers, the reason he's the OC is the intelligence, intensity and focus he shares with Belichick and Brady....where most people see the juggernaut he presided over in 2007, he sees flaws.
He points to an offense that sagged in three "weather games" last year and emphasizes that not being able to handle inclement conditions is troublesome for a team that plays in the upper right-hand corner of the country. He talks about how his team had 18 false-start penalties at home and five on the road.
He says that although the Pats' overall third-down numbers were good, they weren't consistent enough. He laments drive-killing negative running plays in the red zone.
