The Patriots have forced 27 fumbles this season, which not only leads the league but is already the third-most in the 19 seasons that they’ve tracked the stat. Only the 2010 Giants (30) and the 1999 Eagles (28) had more forced fumbles. And there are still three games to go.

There is a book of tricks, a book of calls, that an inside linebacker can use in that system,” Bruschi explained on the weekly ESPNBoston.com podcast. “Jerod knows all those calls and he’s starting to use his arsenal of calls, and utilize other players, other pieces on his chessboard, to put them in position so he can make plays.” On offense, Brady is a master chess player. Mayo is coming into his own as well. “It’s kind of like a quarterback: The linebacker has to make multiple, multiple decisions on every play,” coach Bill Belichick said. “So many different things happen in a split second during the course of the play, just like it is for a quarterback.
Great read on Mayo that echoes a lot of that I wrote about earlier this week. It’s clear, people are taking notice of Jerod Mayo this year.

In describing the 49ers on Wednesday, Bill Belichick begin his assessment like this: “They’re a very physical football team.” Indeed, this might be the most physical team in football, and the Patriots must match that physicality. The 49ers’ offensive line is full of strong-bodied players, and they love to set the tempo in the running game. The 49ers have made strong offenses look vulnerable with their physicality, and the Patriots must be ready to handle that style of play and equalize it.

[49ers safety Dashon] Goldson is one of the best safeties in the league at filling in the run game, which makes him susceptible to play action. Tom Brady has thrown the third-most play action passes in the NFL this season, which might be strange to some people, because this team lines up with Brady under center far more than people might think. He’s completing 66 percent of his play action passes with nine touchdowns and one interception, and he rarely get sacked in play action, So, this will be very intriguing in this game. That touchdown pass to Brandon Lloyd last week against the Texans – everyone thought it was a busted coverage, but it wasn’t. It was three tight ends, with hard run action, and the two safeties hit the run action so hard, and Lloyd just ran over the top. That’s something you must defend when you play the New England Patriots.
