Patriots defense can build on Jets win

The Patriots defense has been killed both on the field and off it for the better part of the last two seasons. The process of re-building the post-dynasty defense has been an up and most down one.

But Sunday against the Jets the Patriots young defense finally showed signs that they are able to hear what Belichick is telling them. They’ve always had the athletic talent, but the process of building a synergy can take time. 

Was it perfect? Of course not, they still gave up two 20-plus yarders and two long sustained touchdown drives.

But it’s hard to argue with these numbers:

  • 3 for 11 on 3rd Downs= 27% (excellent)
  • 7 of 11 Jets possessions= Three and Outs

Now the Jets offensive struggles are well noted, but let’s not forget the various “bad” offenses we’ve seen torch the Pats lately… Matt Flynn, Colt McCoy and well, Mark Sanchez. The Patriots defense played solid fundamental football, applied good pressure, and were able to shut down the Jets ground game.

This was a positive step for this defense and should be a message to the rest of the NFL that this isn’t going to be one of the worst statistical defenses for very much longer.

I have to admit I was worried about Gronk without a veteran TE presence but so far this year he’s been nails. Really impressed with his ability to bring it blocking and receiving equally. Just an impressive all around tight end who can do it all and do it all well. 

Turns out Gronkowski was so ill before Sunday’s game against the Jets that he didn’t take part in pregame warmups. Yet when it was time to take the field for the game, Gronkowski was there.

Patriots – Jets quick thoughts

Wow, the Patriots defense actually showed some signs of life. Granted it wasn’t perfect but theres no doubt this was the best defensive performance of the year.

I am happy with the win but it’s hard to get too excited. The Pats played a little tight, especially on the offensive side. Protecting Brady is always an issue vs. The Jets as of late.

The defense certainly missed Jerod Mayo but they got by without him. Guyton seemed to have a decent game, Spikes seemed up and down.

Yet again the interior pass rush remains MIA. They really need Mike Wright back and hopefully will have him soon.

What a 4th quarter for the offensive line and Benjarvus Green-Ellis. They put the visions of 28-27 Jets from my mind, but it was hairy there for a second.

Mark Anderson has been quite a game sealer. Hopefully he can continue to that when the game is still really on the line.

Huge game for Matt Light, not that anyone pays attention to him unless he has a bad game.

Josh Barrett was missed today on the back end. Ihedigbo was outmatched playing deep, especially on the Holmes TD.

Shocked Hernando not only played but played well.

Not counting the Jets out just yet, but I’m sure he New York media will be all over them until they turn it around.

Excited to take a closer look at how the D played, but this week even the numbers should look good for them.

Defense is stepping up. Brady needs to lead a drive and seal this thing.
