Malcolm Butler comes on in nickel package. Decision to start Eric Rowe seems to be dictated on matchups. Could be to counter size.

 

[TBR]

Seems like NO stopped themselves there. Looked like intentional grounding too.

 

[Joey007]

Us getting TD drives and them getting held to FG drives, that's the blueprint.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Impressed by offense on first drive. Want to get our WRs involved more though

 

[ViperGTS]

Van Noy looking better in his natural position

Butler came across the whole OL to make the run stop

encouraging stand

A. Butler has been a revelation.

 

[DefenseRules]

I still hate this defense...no pass rush to speak of.

Jeff Howe? @jeffphowe 28s28 seconds ago
Elandon Roberts is also playing in place of Jordan Richards as the Patriots choose to go heavier this week than last.

Don't like him in coverage though

 

[Rob0729]

No pressure.

Being under pressure has nothing to do with the rule.

 

[Jackson 2]

7 missed PATs in his last 63. Missing one of every nine.

 

[Thelonious]

I'll let them march it down and kick field goals all day, good stand

I suppose, but now that we're only getting 6 point for a TD.....

 

[ViperGTS]

Excuses. It was down and in position just fine.

 

[JayNM]

About the secondary:

Once they go with man coverage, things go much better.

When offenses deploy their WRs close to each other, disrupting the man-coverage, a lot of confusion insues. Some one need is messing with their zones.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

The defense has no pressure on Bree's starting two back up tackles.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Cooks not getting separation so far.

 

[ViperGTS]

Cooks needs more separation. Or he's being held.

 

[DefenseRules]

Cooks and Brady not on same page

 

[doesntmatter1]

1st time ive seen the play to burkhead actually work lol

 

[ashley]

great call

 

[Tony2046]

Damn. Romo studies up for his games. Bringing up 2001 Pats offensive scheme.

 

[Deus Irae]

Being under pressure has nothing to do with the rule.

Yes, it does.
