Patricia: Return of the Rocket Scientist

[Ivan]

F*cking Belichick, I’ll bet he doesn’t draft Trevor Lawrence either. I hate him.

 

[Sciz]

Interesting that Reiss and Zolak were talking about offense last week and now Rapoport mentions scouting. Sounds like he’s trying to become more well-rounded for another head coaching opportunity.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Omg awful news. I called him Swiss Cheese Patty. His defenses were SOFT. His attitude sucked. A know it all who didn’t walk the walk, players despise him. terrible football coach!

 

[Zuma]

How did we do in points allowed in Patricia's last 5 years with us? other defensive stats? were we a top defense?

 

[NG Pats Fan]

everyone remember what Swiss Cheese Patty’s defenses were like? They were so soft.. zero pressure on the QB. Made bum QBs put up all pro stat lines. Luckily we had Brady at his peak who was able to put up 40 point games in playoffs to keep us winning.

flores was a way better coordinator and is well liked by players

I think Patricia brings value and experience, but he should not be allowed to be the defensive coordinator!

Detroit Lions' Evan Rothstein 'one of those guys that kind of crunches all the numbers'

Though he has never served as an NFL position coach, Evan Rothstein has plenty of experience with the details of the Detroit Lions' defense.

www.freep.com

"On Saturday, with interim Lions head coach Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Cory Undlin and three other assistants in quarantine because of COVID-19 protocols, Rothstein will take an amazing step to the forefront as the team's defensive playcaller against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady."

"He’s probably our most knowledgeable — not probably, is our most knowledgeable in terms of our defense, what we’re doing really all the way across the board," Bevell said.

"He helps identify opposing team tendencies, signals and trends, and helps incorporate that knowledge into the game plan. He holds meetings every week to disseminate that information to players. And on game days, he wears a headset in the coaches booth, where he helps with game management and operational duties."

I guess you can cross Stafford's name off the list then.

never had it on the list.

 

[Foxypats]

this is a blah move, the D was better when he left ! The d didn't have that killer instinct with him at the helm, 500 yards against in the SB!!

 

[DropKickFlutie]

In 2016 they had the #1 D in the NFL and held the #1 offense to 21 points.

I hate his defense but it works. Stylistically is like watching bananas turn brown.

BB needs some brain-matter help. Aside from Josh and Crazy Ivan, lotta N00bs on the coaching staff

I'll take an engineer rocket scientist back here over having multiple John Carroll d3 brains on staff.

I don't think you need to worry about that, Mayo or Steve are on the defensive side. I don't think he's coming back as DC but rather a jack of all trades guy .

H ell yes.

What personnel decisions did Patricia make that impressed the Patriots brass enough to being him in?

He won 2014 and 2016 rings and would have a 2017 ring if Malcolm Butler played. He's also likely smarter than most on the staff last year. But we have to blow up the DB draft evaluation system entirely, the one McDaniels created in 2004 that overwrote Belichick's manual has been total horsesh-t.

[captain stone]

Sounds like he’s there more to evaluate talent.
If he brings Stafford or Golladay to New England or old buddy Trey Flowers I’m all
For it. Matter of Fact eff it let’s get Harmon and Jamie Collins back Too.
Hopefully Dan Campbell starts jettisoning players we can pick.

Don't forget Danny Shelton...He never should've been allowed to leave.

 

[MrTibbs]

This is comforting actually

Horrible.....The Patriots won DESPITE his defensive game plans....so soon have you forgotten those Patriots defenses that had cornerbacks play 10 yards off the wide receivers, how the Patriots typically had one of the lower interception rates under him. Oh, remember his game plan vs. Aaron Rodgers when they didn't rush him, they simply made a wall so he didn't scramble and he obliged by throwing for well over 320+ yards and got the W!

He SUCKS!

Not a good example, Bucs destroyed the Lions in that game.
