I predicted that we would leave the flat exposed in favor preventing the deep play. Unfortunately Ben is on target and pretty effective so far. I think the Steelers knew this as well and went right to the shallow middle (putting Miller on the inside/under slants).
I love Belichick as much as anyone, but why isn't he being questioned for this? We have arguably the wort defense in the league, and while our offense is great, I'm pretty sure it would be great if I were coaching the team. Isn't it about time we bring an outsider to be the DC? We aren't winning anything with this defense, no matter what our regular season record turns out to be. And yes, I know it's very early to say the defense stinks in this game, but it's so frustrating....
Even though it was a horrible stand on that first drive. There is no reason to get too worried. Belichick usually uses the first drive to get a feel of the offensive game plan and makes adjustments. The Pats expected the Steelers to attack the Pats outside and they went inside. We will have to see the adjustments now.
Why do the Pats ever blitz? I can not remember the last time a Pats blitz came remotely close to a QB. It seems their blitz scheme is to run everyone at a common blocker, so that one person can block them all. Absolutely horrible blitz schemes.
Stick with the 4 man rush and maybe the "blitzers" can contribute in pass coverage. They sure as ell don't know how to blitz.
