Patriots Defensive Linemen Snap Graph

Brace coming back on! But I think we’ll see a lot of Gerard Warren against the Steelers.

Here’s whats really interesting to me. Pryor and Wright STARTED against the Browns yet were surpassed by Deaderick and Brace by a large margin. Pryor has always been better at interior pass rush, Wright can play run or pass but is best utilized as an interior rusher as well. So why start them? You knew the Browns offensive key was Peyton Hillis, yet you don’t start your run stopper guys?

I’m not saying this was a stupid decision, it’s just a curious one. But there has to be a reason behind it. Anyone got a guess?

PatsPulpit: Beat the Patriots On the Ground? I don’t think so…

Great read by Greg Knopping and he’s totally right, lazy mediots see what Peyton Hillis did and assume the Pats run D sucks. Well it really doesn’t. 

The truth is the way to beat this Patriots team is through the air. With short, effective passes. The Patriots tackle well, but they bite on play action and will give up completions in the 4-8 yard range.

We’ve seen glimpses of the Patriots playing good coverage, especially in the Ravens game. When they do that they are actually a very good defense. We just haven’t seen much of it in a few games.
