First and foremost being that the defense can reset after protection is called. This would explain why so many of the blitzes last night had an open man with a clear path to the QB.
I think Lazar meant where = were.

Are they more like the indestructible T-101 or do they possess more of the shape-shifting abilities of the T-1000??
This is so mind boggling that I think something is lost in translation. BB allows his players to do their own thing? What is the world coming to? So if the defense are rather adjusting to what you are doing and for most of the time it is random, how do you study them?
The level of experience on the D might be getting up to where the Dynasty I squad was. High, DMac and Chung in particular, even Harmon, have played a lot of Patriot football. Collins and Van Noy aren't newbies either. Would love to know what level of decision-making autonomy those guys have.
Reminded me of being 9 playing Madden on Nintendo and constantly calling "punt block".
Lots of well deserved trust put into Van Noy, Hightower, and Collins.

Yep. Can’t wait to see them against tougher offenses. Love this defense.
I'd like to see 'em vs the Saints. Great QB, oline and weapons.
That'd be one hell of a SB.
That’s the beauty of it. It’s not random. It’s specific to what you do. On each and every single play. Not to anything you’ve ever seen before. How do you study that?
A defense that blitzes based on what the offense does and after they already set protection,
How atypical is this, though?
If it was the type of unequaled post comms shutoff advantage that you're making it sound I cannot imagine a scenario where BB would divulge it unless forced to.
I've always wondered what would happen if, after the QB identifies the Mike, that player swaps positions with one of the other backers at the last second.
Gase actually said something interesting about the Pats D when asked about Darold getting blitzed. He said the Patriots don't disguise anything, they show what they are going to do and it was on Darnold to deal with it /or not.
That's unbelievably callous and boneheaded- to literally say something like that after your QB's psyche gets absolutely destroyed. This doesn't help, and oh btw it's all on Gase for his complete lack of adjustment to counter the zero blitzes we were running all day long.
