I understand one of the hallmarks of a BB defense is to take away your strength, make you beat them with your weakness, don't give up the big play, make you march the field with sustained drives, hoping to capitalize on a mistake, while tightening up in the defense......while (hopefully) scoring TD's on offense, hoping to stick you in a hole, force you out of your game plan and into more mistakes
16 straight winning seasons......we know the drill.....9-2 this year.....it works
but it is maddening to watch Fitz stand back there with nothing but time, at times with just 2 pass rushers, and finding a spot in the zone......
to their credit, but Patricia & the D did go man and turn the pressure up at times, especially to close out the game......and they did shut down the Jets strength, the run game, to what, in the neighborhood of 60 yards?
do we think this is simply Patricia's adherence to the BB way, to a marrying of the offense/defense/ST all together on one big scheme, assuming the offense can score with "X" efficiency, and the defense just has to slow down the quick score, force long drives, tighten up the red zone, and force long drives for field goals?
or is the play calling as such because of our personnel?
it seems to me the Pats CAN generate pressure, we have seen it at times......and it seems these DB's can handle man (hell, they at times struggle in zone)......so is this just all about matching the defense up to the offensive game plan? personnel? or a mix of both?
