Logan Ryan's comments show a Patriots Defense that is quickly gaining its swagger back!

New England Patriots CB Logan Ryan on 'personal game' vs. Broncos: 'We wanted to completely dominate'

Loved hearing this from Ryan....and glad to see McCourty take shots at the Boston media for doubting them

Boston media....and patsfans.com posters who couldn't see the quality of the d.

It's great that the D heard all the catcalls from the peanut gallery on how sucky the were.

They are playing with a sizable chip on their shoulder.

It is nice to see Ryan assert leadership. A lack of a vocal leader has been a point that some have raised, including Micheal Lombardi. In the past it was Mayo. Hightower is very talented but not very vocal. Ryan seems to be the one coming on strong in terms of leadership, both on the field and off.

I wonder about the dynamics of having Jones and Collins as two superstar athletes who were focusing (perhaps) more on their next contracts than being part of a selfless unit. Just wondering.

Said it a few times in the game thread but it's clear BB loves where this defense is at. You don't see him with much emotion on the sideline but he was hyping the guys up after some great third down plays yesterday.

As Belichick always says, you find out what kind of football team you are in December and this D sure as hell looks like a top unit to me. Get that one seed and bring on the playoffs, baby

You could tell after that McCourty hit that BB and Patricia were freaking PUMPED, but they also didn't want to celebrate too hard because if there was a serious injury it would have been in poor taste. It was an interesting sociological dynamic there.

Reminds me of the Rodney Harrison days, "They didn't believe we could do it, they called us a bunch of has beens". Loved Rodney, Pats went 34-4 during back to back SB winning seasons, yet he was always playing the "no respect card".

As much as I sometimes want to yell at Ryan when it's a 3rd & long conversion - he does add value. Especially tackling. I wonder if someone will overpay next offseason.

Eye test and statistical arguments aside holding Denver to 3 points in their home stadium was something special. So much so that the offense played a game that required trust in their defense. All arrows pointing up.

I like this defense better than the 2014 one, and I expect them to play better in the postseason than that unit did. I guess we'll find out soon if I'm right or not.

It looks like McCourty has taken a page from Rodney's book. "Remind them, that they said we sucked" is all I needed to hear to know the Secondary is taking things personally and using it to their advantage.

 

[70Dart]

Since the Seattle loss the entire team has turn a corner. The defense in particular looks to be taking these comments very personal. Awesome for us as fans and even better for the Pats as a team.

I love the smell of Patriots of old in the morning. Smells like... Victory.
