FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: 2014 Pressure Plays: Defenses
FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: 2014 Pressure Plays: Defenses
Very interesting rankings here, with the Patriots having a huge difference in their defense between when they got pressure and when they didn’t.
The Pats got pressure on the quarterback just 22.5% of their snaps, ranking them 25th in the league. However, when they did get pressure in those limited snaps, they were the best defense in the league. But when they didn’t get pressure they fell all the way to 27th in the NFL.
This goes back to something I find myself typing a lot – pressure can protect coverage deficiencies, but great coverage doesn’t matter without pressure. No secondary can cover forever.
In this context it seems more obvious why the Patriots have been loading up on the defensive front seven the last couple years without making any major long-term investments at cornerback (but with a sizable commitment to Devin McCourty at safety).
Getting pressure without blitzing is the key for the defense and now with guys like Easley, Hightower, Collins and others, they should have some versatile pieces to disguise where the four rushers are coming from, giving them the extra jump on the quarterback.

Flowers and Roberts both make PFF’s Draft Steals list. I think it’s important to recognize how important stopping the run is to the Patriots at the defensive end position. Usually everyone gets excited by defensive end because of pass rush potential, but not the Patriots.
As for Roberts, he’s seen time with the starters in OTAs and should be right in the mix to get playing time as a rookie.

Back from vacation and on to 2015
I’m back in the blogging saddle after a nice week-long vacation on the cape that was filled with ice cream, seafood and beach fun. It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is July and another training camp is just around the corner. I never felt like the season ever ended!
In case you missed it, and I’ll continue to pimp these over the next month, I released my own Patriots preview book. You can pick one up here for just $4 and it’s filled with over 30 pages of stats and analysis you won’t find anywhere else.
