It has nothing to do with standing or hand down it's about gap assignments.
Deaderick played the 3 or 5 gap, Wilfork played the 0 gap and jones played the 5 gap.

No it isnt. We do not play a man over the C. We do not align in a 34. There really isnt a debate.
Have you read the book "smart football" Because that is where I think you got that from. In the last chapter the author talks about the Patriots playing a 4-3 personell with 3-4 assignements. That is how we played a couple of years ago. But last year we had a nose in the A gap over the guard and a DT over the outside of the guard in 3 tech in the B gap.
Ok Andy we will agree to disagree. But if you could show me a diagram I'd appreciate it.
The Pats played a slightly modified 4-3 Under in 2011 up until about when Carter got hurt. Then they went back to Belichick's old 2-gap 3-4.
Last year, I believe they rarely put a DT over the center. They really liked putting a DT over each of the guards and doing what you could really basically call a 2-5 defense with two 3-4 NTs, 0 3-4 DEs, 2 3-4 OLBs, and 3 3-4 ILBs.
The biggest difference between the 4-3 Under in 2011 and the more "normal" 4-3 in 2012 is that they had 5 guys on the line in 2011 and only four guys in 2012.
Haven't read it I just base it on my view of what is happening on the field. I also recall Chandler Jones saying he wanted to get stronger in the offseason to be a better 2 gap run stopper and that is 3-4 assignment.

How does a finding a diagram and claiming its our defense have anything to do with what our defense was?
We played a 4-3 probably 80-90% of the time we played base, a 34 the rest of the time we played base and nickel/dime more often than either.

They call that projection.
I think Patricia gains a little more authority over the defense each year but it is still Belichick's and will be until they play great football for an extended period. Patricia does most of the work putting the defenses in and calling plays for them but Belichick is dictating game plans and their overall approach both in terms of personal and gameplanning.
