"The adjustment Baltimore made at halftime was to attack the weakness of the Patriots was to attack the passing game," McGinest stated. "They were great at turning the ball over. Great at points per game. Good red-zone defense. But at some point, if your offense isn't scoring 35, 40 points a game and you're giving up big plays in the passing game against a good offense that has a dominant defense, it's gonna be tough to win games."
The sieve of a NE pass defense is why NE cant get over the hump. How many times have you seen the camera pan to Brady late in the game as the pass defense is getting smoked?
"We took everything personal and we had pride," he added. "It's a different time. That's just how we were. Even the young guys that came in adapted that from us. Like the Seymours, the Vince Wilforks or some of these other guys that were there. The Asante Samuels. When Rodney came in, we already had Ty Law with that attitude. We had Lawyer Milloy. We had guys that had that mentality. We just added more guys to it. Vrabel was another guy."
This defense needs Ed Reed or somebody with some cajones.
McGinest: Patriots defense needs more attitude
