Pass Rush

[Double TE]

Can anyone remember the last time the Pats had an outstanding pass rush? Feared in fact?

I really miss Chandler Jones. That D Line got pushed around all night. Actually the Jags D line pushed the Pats O Line around. Need to fix the Lines on BOTH sides. I know Flowers left early but that pass rush was weak and seemed slow,

Am I overreacting?

You're overreacting.

Week one against Houston our pass rush was very good. Not sure if that was a testament to us or just how bad their O-line is.

I didn't see the game out here in NE Ohio but the reports I read indicated that the Pats' D looked very slow. That seems to have been a recurring complaint over the past several years, but I have yet to see any fast, athletic players being added to the defense.

Yeah they were fine last week, Flowers out really hurt we couldn’t pressure with 4 and when we brought bltzes bortles picked us apart.

Gilmore is fast and athletic.

They have been to the Super Bowl 3 of the past 4 years with a "slow" defense.

The recurring complaint is emanating from observers who do not understand scheme, leverage, angles, and defensive strategy

That is admittedly me. They just looked slower and less physical. I understand it is only one game.

Yep, its called pinkhats

Seems unfair we have to count to 10 M I SS I SS I PPI and other teams can just rush straight in!

Do you understand how all that stuff works?

Yes having played in college and being a current coach I understand it well. It was meant to be funny. We had 6 sacks last week so overall this is a bit of an over reaction monday thread. I will say when it counts our pass rush usually lets us down and most of our sacks come in games where we are out in front vs at critical times. when we really need them.

No question.

I hate to single one player out but Adrian Clayborn took such a wide rush angle he created a huge running lane for Bortles to escape through several times. Our overall execution was was not up to Patriot standards. I imagine there will be some very heated film review the next day or two.

Chandler Jones wouldn’t matter in the big games late in the year anyways.
