Frenz:Why the New England Patriots Passed on a Pass Rusher

Great stuff here from my podcast mate Erik Frenz. Here’s a nice excerpt…

[In 2010],  the Patriots not only got more sacks [than 2009], but they came from a wider group of players. It’s hard to believe the Patriots pass rush improved between 2009 and 2010, but they made strides toward the defense they want to run.

Why would spreading them out be better? It’s easier to neutralize the pass rush if all the production is coming from one player. Simply lock onto that “pass rush specialist” and boom, tough actin’ Tinactin…or something.

Offseason Media Fun at PatsPropaganda

As we begin a long and tedious offseason we’ve got a couple projects in the works to help get us all through it.

The first is our new and improved YouTube page. We’re looking to add the best Patriots videos, and we’ve established our Top 6 Favorites, Patriots Comedy, and Highlights playlists. So if you make or see a Patriots video that is great please make sure to pass it along to us.

The second is that we’ve partnered up with Erik Frenz, featured columnist on Bleacher Report and Myspace Football Curator, to do a Patriots podcast. Our first show will run tonight at 11:30pm EST/8:30pm PST, but you’ll be able to also listen to it in our archives which will eventually all be posted here on the site.

For tonight’s show you can use this link and we’ll also post a player here on the site just before we go on. It will just be a half hour of nothing but in-depth Pats analysis, discussion and hopefully debate.

Hopefully these two items will help us all get through the offseason.
