Steelers Chalk Talk: Breakdown of Patriots Game
There aren’t many things in life better than watching an opposing teams TV crew break down your team killing their team. The accents are especially fun with this one (who’s Bohnta-Cain), but they do a good job showing Tom Brady’s virtuosity.
Okay, so it’s not the 50th anniversary one that is impossible to find, but it’s a suitable substitute. Your ears will thank you.

This season I’ve been trying to keep track of just what the Pats are doing on defense and as you can see, it’s get a little complicated. With so many young players there’s a constant shift in personnel from week to week.
But last night’s game was one of the most straightforward defensive game plans we’ve seen in a while and is a good place to reset where we’re at.
BASE 3-4 DEFENSE
Brace – Wilfork – Deaderick
Ninkovich – Spikes – Mayo – Cunningham
McCourty – Meriweather – Chung – Arrington
This is the run stopping formation. While there will be some rotation with the line and Tully Banta-Cain, this is emerging as the best 3-4 look the Pats can put together.
NICKEL DEFENSE
Crable – Wright – Warren – Banta-Cain
Mayo – Guyton
McCourty – Wilhite – Meriweather – Chung – Arrington (Sanders rotating in)
DIME DEFENSE
Crable – Wright – Banta-Cain
Mayo – Guyton
McCourty – Wilhite – Brown – Meriweather – Chung – Wilhite – Arrington
(Sanders rotates in here as well)
Two years ago (note – it was actually 3 years ago, gaddamit!!!!!!!!!) was the one and only time the Patriots have beaten the Colts since the 2004 AFCDG and call me crazy but I think it was because we had sent Fitzy in to undermine the Colts and their fans.
This video is priceless. No one has the balls that Fitzy has to pull this off.
