Pees wasn't a healthy man and has even said himself he needs time.
He's healthy enough to consider taking a job in the thin air of Denver.

Every fan wants the defense to be more aggressive. That doesn't mean they are right, or it would be better.It goes both ways. Yes, the Patriots have had a dropoff in defensive talent due to age and players leaving, but Pees never really did anything to improve the defense. How many times did we complain about our scheme being vanilla and boring, and that we wanted it to be more aggressive?
Bill was talking to the defense ... and he had the same results as Pees ...
Blaming Pees for lack of adjustments is wrong ... Bill is in on all calls.
They did not have the players to make the adjustments ... players that were effective in multiple roles.
The Pats were 5th in the most important stat in the NFL for a defense, which is points allowed. Yet very few here would say that the Pats defense was top 5 in talent.
Pats rankings in points allowed since 2006.

**** LeBeau, former DC of the Steelers, also ran a 3/4 but his version attacked the offense relentlessly. Pees ran the "bend but dont break/ read and react" 3/4 (more like the original Bullough version). BB has been successful with the latter both with the Giants, the Jets and now the Pats.

I kno my mind isn't the best with memory, but pree 2005, does anyone remember seeing our DBs play so deep off the CBs? Am I trippin thinking we didn't? Just curious.
