Patriots’ offensive success fueled by deft play, clever schemes

Very fun read if you like how dominant the Patriots offense has been through the first four games. Dallas got the first part of the test right against them, but didn’t have enough of a second-half change-up to put the Pats back on their toes. Brady will figure out what you’re doing, you’ve got to have a third quarter gameplan that is unique. But I still think the primary principals are press man coverage while only rushing three (but consistently disguising which three). Take away the quick passing game, even if it means giving Brady more time in the pocket.

You all saw Dion Lewis’ Houdini-esque escape against the Cowboys last week. Now, watch it again, with EVERY angle. This awesome play just got that much better. Watch the ULTIMATE HIGHLIGHT

I don’t make @FitzyGFY webcasts as often as I used to. But when I do it’s usually something special. Like the Patriots playing Indy after a summer full of DeflateGate. Yeah.

Colts fans, might wana hide ya kids, hide ya wives!

Couldn’t imagine going into this game without hearing from old pal Fitzy.

Thursday Pats Stat Pack

by

Now that we’re a quarter of the way into the season I feel comfortable diving into some of Football Outsiders’ DVOA stats and the early numbers for the Pats are pretty outstanding. 

Remember, these numbers are adjusted for the matchup and situation, so go easy on the “Pats haven’t played anyone good” outrage.

First we have our overall DVOA on both sides of the ball, where the offense is hitting a level that puts it on par with Brady’s MVP seasons of 2007 and 2010. Defensively, they’re better overall but a little worse against the run, though I’d say that’s party by design.

Here’s a closer look at how they’re matching up with various receiving threats:

The improvement against tight ends is what stands out most, while there a bit of drop replacing Revis with Butler, the rest is pretty much the same. And again, they’ve been better overall.

Finally comes what I call the “bend-don’t-break chart” where they’re looking far less bendy after last week’s performance against the Cowboys. We’ll see how that holds up.
