Seems like a lot people want to re-evaluate the scheme after week 1, but I don’t think it was the scheme that was the problem.
The problem was missed tackles and penalties, just generally not good football.
34, 43, 25… whatever you want to label it, it’s the same guys and those guys need to play like they’re capable of.
There’s no question the Pats have made some schematic tweaks and I will be curious what the final numbers are on the base and nickel defenses. I’d bet they were closer to even.
I do have questions about their run defense, but they’ve remedied those problems in the recent past. I still think their pass defense will be very good and good enough for a Super Bowl run.
