ESPN Boston prognosticates the New England Patriots’ second half – ESPN Boston

Will it be as simple as plugging Talib in and expecting improved results? No, the group still has to execute. But schematically, the Patriots can alter their approach on defense with a capable cover corner who can take away an opponent’s top target. That should open the door for more pressure packages from the front seven. This secondary doesn’t have to be elite, and it won’t prevent the team from making a run at the Super Bowl.
