”Yeah, I think he’s going to unleash hell on them,” Dilfer responded. ”I do. Early in the week, I felt like the Jets had a chance in this game. I looked for every reason why this thing could be an epic battle. That the Jets could redeem themselves from the 45-3. Then I started to look at more film, and realized the Patriots are just smarter than everyone else.

”And then I look at how they’re handling (the trash talk), and yeah, I do think it festers in a good way,” he went on. ”They have the ability to use all this stuff, and hold it inside, and use it to their advantage come game time. I don’t see how this strategy works against the Patriots that the Jets are using. I can see it working against somebody else. I just can’t see it working against the Patriots. I think Tom already with a razor sharp focus, finds even another level to his focus and his preparation. I can just see him playing one of those flawless football games.”

ESPN: Next level stats on Patriots – Jets

Great stuff here. The interesting thing to note is that the Patriots are not a team that is blitz-happy. The numbers back that up. Clearly they prefer to play coverage and wait for the other team to mess up.

What this defensive philosophy is based upon is that it’s easier to execute defense than it is offense, which considering the offense has the ball seems like a pretty common sense assumption. This is the soul of “bend don’t break”.

Patriots’ X-factor vs. Jets

One player that was not yet on the Patriots the last time they faced the Jets, and has made a real impact in the teams four games since is Eric Moore.

With Jermaine Cunningham still fighting a calf injury it’s likely that Moore could see significant time in the base 3-4 defense, as a designated pass rusher, or even as a defensive end.

The fact is that Moore is one player that the Jets won’t know quite what to expect from, making him a definite presence that must be accounted for. 

Since joining the Pats off the street Moore has registered two sacks and two forced fumbles. He’s been used in a variety of ways, mostly due to injuries, so as to what his true strength is we, along with the Jets, can only guess.

At 6’ 4" and 268 pounds Moore physically looks like an ideal outside linebacker for the Patriots system. With 14 tackles and 1 pass defensed to go with his sacks and forced fumbles he’s clearly been a force since he was signed on December 3rd.

Though he is fighting a hamstring injury that kept him out of a practice last week, we hope that he’ll be ready to go Sunday. BB can employ him in a number of different ways, giving him a versatile player to confuse the Jets with.

The Jets Pats rivalry dates back to 1960 and the birth of the AFL. The Jets were originally know as the Titans, and played under that name for three seasons. The 1963 season became the first one for both the franchise as the Jets, and for new coach Weeb Ewbank, who took over for Bulldog Turner.
