In Bill Belichick’s tenure as Patriots head coach, the team is 121-12 when it has a positive turnover differential, which is one of the reasons Belichick often says that no statistic correlates as closely to wins and losses as turnovers.

A forgotten man in Tennessee, Ayers’ work can’t be ignored in New England | Sports – Patriots | providencejournal.com | The Providence Journa
Great read on Akeem Ayers. No idea how the Titans had no use for this guy. After spending all offseason wondering why the Pats didn’t go out and get a quality third edge player, they found one in-season in Ayers.
Pretty crazy how much success the Pats have had the last two seasons with guys acquired after Week 1. Siliga, Chris Jones, Blount, Wright, Ayers, Casillas is quite a list of impact players.
Of 420 defensive snaps played over the last six games, the Patriots have been in sub packages (which call for at least one extra player in the secondary) a staggering 377 times. That means they were only in their base or goal-line defense on just 43 snaps over the last six games

As has been the case since 2010, Sub is the new “base” and why we now call the 34/43 “regular”. Regular is a run-stopping package. So when next summer when the 3-4 vs. 4-3 is a major topic of conversation, ignore the noise. It’s really just the defense that BB teaches from.

With mayo making almost 10 million next year do you see them letting him go to keep other important people since Collins and Hoghtower have played well
This will be one of the big questions of the offseason and it will be an interesting one.
Mayo is an excellent captain and leader, and his dedication to football and Belichick’s appreciation of what he brings to the field has been clear…
BUT…
Hightower looks like a capable replacement as play-caller as Mayo is coming off his second-straight injury-shortened season. Mayo has speed and intangibles, but has never been a pivotal playmaker.
Boiled down to the pure financials of it, Mayo’s cap hits are $10.6 million and $10.4 million the next two seasons. That’s a lot and given the history of the Patriots, it makes him a prime target for restructure.
Mayo seems like the kind of guy who would understand that. He just saw it happen last year with Wilfork.
