Never the less there is some irony in this particular one.The defensive line was greatly aided by Lane Johnson leaving the game with an injury. I know Patriots fans hate the guy, but he's among the very best linemen in football and his absence made a huge difference for the remainder of the game. Dillard, who replaced him, wasn't ready.
I think personnel has a lot to do with it, which then leads to scheme differences. The Ravens have basically one true pass rusher in Judon, and a lot of the pass rush production from their other guys is from blitzes. The Eagles have Graham, Barnett, and Cox to attack both edges and the middle all without having to do anything too fancy.Quick Q's:
What problems did the Eagles D pose over the Ravens D? While scores were similar, I felt like we moved down the field with more ease at times against the Ravens. Do the Eagles run a different scheme, better suited to our offense? Or is it pretty much just better personnel?

And at what time does the Patriots offense dial up the no-huddle? Do you have to wait for a playcall that throws off the defense, and basically go "okay, we got favorable match ups and theyre confused. Let's keep them off balance."? Or do you go into a drive knowing you're gonna run no huddle?
Thanks to whoever offers insight!

I don’t know if the season-to-date numbers are available anywhere, but last year the Ravens led the NFL in blitz percentage (5+ rushers) while the Eagles were 30th.

Eagles have one of the best D lines in the league. Fletcher Cox is a one man wrecking crew...our offensive line was simply overmatched at times

Thanks for the feedback.
Also, Jim Schwartz knows Belichick, and his defenses tend to play well against us - even if it's not shutting NE down on the scoreboard, it can cause disruption. I'm sure Schwartz had some special plays drawn up to show he can outcoach him.
"this has been a very bad game by the QB"
Great pickup by Mason of course but what I want to point out here is to keep an eye on Sanu. He doesn't really seem to have any idea about the play except that it will be a run. He stops and doesn't even run a pattern or blocks but stands around confused.
That is the reality of how long it can take to be up to speed and why Dorsett was essential to keep running the no huddle. Yes you can maybe have one WR in there who you can limit to concepts he has shown to understand but once you have two players (Sanu and Harry) who don't have enough experience it becomes a bit more problematic because it just limits your calls substantially.
Sorry but you're reading way too much into Sanu here in terms of picking up our offense. This isn't the play for that. Maybe you saw others you'd like to share but that play doesn't suggest he's behind in our offense.

This ladies and gentlemen is the gold standard of how you do film review.
None of the amateurish filming of screens with your cell phone, no terminology heavy gatekeeping of concepts but actually explaining whats going on using the medium of film and visual aids, bringing in successful examples from past games and nailing the narrative in an accessible way.
Wish there was more of that and less of the useless other stuff.
I just love how it's a young kid breaking this down so knowledgeably. Evan Lazar, Spagnoli and the others are barely out of their teens yet they know more and would blow the old farts like Shanknancy and Bob Cryin' out of the water and downright embarass frauds like the MCI.
Too bad those old farts are retained by the old guard who is just so out of touch with how far fans today have evolved with social media.
