Patriots Defensive Packages Regroup
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.

Usually we kick the week of on Wednesday, but there’s much unfinished business with Peyton and the Colts so we’re starting early this week. I want mas Manning face this weekend!!

We’re going to see this stupid 4th and 2 play a hundred billion times this week so I just wanted to get it out of the way now, while still in the afterglow of beating the Steelers.
It’s strange, I feel like I’m already 90% looking ahead to the Colts. The last two years have been hugely disappointing losses to them and while there was once a time we have Peyton Manning’s number, the Pats are 1-5 since the 2004 AFCDG against the Colts. Only in 2007 did we beat them, but in just about every game (except for 2005/2006 regular season contests at Gillette) I felt like the Patriots were the better team.
2006 AFCCG: Second Half Implosion costs Pats another Super Bowl.
2008: David Thomas doesn’t hear whistle, takes penalty that pushes Pats back and out of Field Goal range. Would’ve/Shoud’ve gone to overtime at least.
2009: See video above. You know what happened, and if you’re like me, you’re still sick about it.
I just feel like we really, really owe the Colts a smackdown.

I believe I described James Sanders last week as “solid but unspectacular”. Well this was a pretty spectacular play and went a long way towards decreasing my heart palpitations last night. If you’ve been watching the Pats closely since the 2006 AFCCG you’re no stranger to late game defensive meltdowns. Even in 2007 when 18 of 19 games were not blown late, you only remember the big one that was. Then 2009 was basically just a collection of late game disasters, so it’s nice to have my trust in this team to put games away slowly rebuilt.
