He’s treating this like it’s a playoff game because it’s a very difficult place [to play]. [The Colts] play with a different speed when they’re on that turf, and it’s just something about the fans and just how excited they get when they’re playing against Belichick and Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. I wanted to have a conversation with Bill, and he declined to have a conversation with me. So I know how important this game is, because he’s really focused on this game.

He plays to destroy you. He does. I’ve been on the other side when he was throwing at me. We’re competing against each other, and now I’m his teammate and I have way more appreciation because I get to see the day-to-day of Tom Brady and how he works, and how hard he works on a day to day basis. It makes you have way more respect than you did when I was on another team.

Josh McDaniels’ offense has consistently made it difficult for opponents to know if the Patriots will run or pass out of the backfield formation. Of 144 plays run from the setup, the Patriots have run the ball on 84 and used play-action on another 30. That means they have run the ball a fairly balanced 58 percent of the time but have run or sold the run on 79 percent of such formations. That makes it difficult for opponents to diagnose the play call. Their passing game has been even harder to identify, since they used play action on 30 of 60 dropbacks out of the backfield formation. That’s a 50-50 balance, which means opposing defenses needed to prepare equally for either possible outcome on such plays and would have had no statistical advantage in their corner.

Good stuff on the rise of the double backfield set.
