The era he was here was probably the worst defensive era for the Patriots under the Belichick era.
No idea what team you watched but 2014, 2015 and 2016 were pretty strong years. Even 2017 wasn't bad -- especially given the loss of HT midseason -- but all everyone remembers is the SB.
He clearly was able to translate BBs vision to the field otherwise he wouldn't have stayed DC for so long.
2014 was actually underwhelming given the talent of that team had on defense (McCourty, Hightower, Revis, Browner, etc.) despite being strong.
This is comforting actually
The three double whopper weave drill. Becomes 2, when Matty needs a snack!Can he evaluate WRs?
They dominated opponents through the season and won a SB in which the offense turned the ball over twice. I don't know what you mean by underwhelming. You are aware that the only meaningful defensive stat is the amount of points given up relative to those scored, right ?
They may have loved him but the next year when Flores was calling the defensive plays the players kept saying they weren’t thinking as much just playing because it wasn’t as complicated.As bad as he was with the Lions, the Patriots defensive players loved him here.
The string of baffling missteps continues. Maybe Matt will compete for qb. I mean, he could probably stumble forward into the end zone a couple times next year just as well as Cam did, and he's likely got a better arm at this point.
My real concern is how this might affect Jarod Mayo, who already has to keep an eye over his shoulder for the Coach's nepotistic children. Now this. Jarod is really going to amount to something down the road: it now seems that might have to happen elsewhere.
We've all seen analyses of Bill's many shortcomings - failures - over the past few years. Add this to the list.
I do not yet say Bill is past it, but I do say the burden of proof is now squarely on him.
Ask yourself: what has he done for us lately? This? Yeah, right.
Hmm, I’m still not sure. Nick wore a lot of hats for this team. Hopefully MP and this cat he is bringing with him can pick up some of those responsibilities and perform wel.Good news. More continuity after we have lost a ****ton of supporting staff in the last 3-4 years.
So far it has been a fine offseason in terms of staff adjustments.
