I wanted to highlight a few recent good articles from Football Outsiders on the Pats as they've taken notice of improved play.
Film Room: Patriots Passing Game
Notes what's working in the past three productive games, play action and the run game.Any Given Sunday: Patriots over Ravens
Blow by blow analysis of the Ravens game. I like how they called the Pats OL "All-Pro laden" when the Pats have famously not drafted a Pro Bowler in sooo long. Turns out both have been on All-Pro teams. Maybe they've been busy during the Pro Bowl week for their career for some reason?Word of Muth: Secret Weapon
Focuses on the OL play of the Jets game. It's a pity he didn't cover the Ravens game as that was an all timer for the OL. He loves our guards of course, but had this to say about Onwenu:Rookie right tackle Michael Onwenu (71) is solid here too. He has been such a find for New England. He should be the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. It'll never happen because he doesn't touch the ball, but I find it hard to believe there's a better offensive rookie out there.
