Boston Globe/Bedard: Patriots Dolphins Report Card

Great stuff here from Bedard, Frenz and I mentioned this article a total of three times today on the podcast. And I’m not just quote/posting it because he’s so positive about the defense. Well, maybe a little.

Sorry, but the Patriots defense was good. And, for at least one night, it was improved.

Consider: The Patriots, despite sending an extra rusher on only 10 of 53 dropbacks, generated 20 quarterback pressures (sacks, hurries, and knockdowns combined).

That matched the 2010 season high set against Green Bay and first-time starting quarterback Matt Flynn.

And the 14 percent third-down conversion rate was no fluke. No matter what the Dolphins did on fourth downs in desperation garbage time.

“I wasn’t happy (with) the end result,” said Mangini, currently employed by ESPN as a studio analyst. “How it could have been different, how different decisions and events could have taken place. I’m not sure how it would have played out differently. I just didn’t want it to play out the way it did.”

Asked to describe his current relationship with Belichick, Mangini called it “a work in progress.”

Wow, the NFL is really going all out promoting this BB doc eh? Not that it needs any kind of promotion for me.

fumblingforward:

Boston Loves Their Bill

Boston is gearing up and getting pumped for a proud moment in New England fan-ship: the Bill Belichick documentary “A Football Life” (part 1 airs tomorrow @ 9 PM), by showing a bit of Patriots pride in Copley Square. You’ll find Columbus, the Tortoise, and the Hair all sporting Bill’s signature cut-off hoodie look and looking mighty adorable. I even scored some free swag, a football stress ball! Boston, be cuter, I dare you. Bill would be proud that his stylin’ comfy ways are making such a splash.
