No one has really talked about [Pepper]. After watching the front seven in the Chiefs game, again they’re having trouble in their run fits. They can’t stop the run. They miss Pepper. They miss Pepper around, and they miss Pepper on game day. He was the linebackers coach, but he did a bunch of different things. He filled the gaps that were needed. You look at the linebackers, especially Jamie Collins — his growth hasn’t been there. He has not played well. It’s been a problem.

Matt Patricia was shifted to coaching the safeties in 2011 which is an interesting move in that…

  • BB didn’t name a Defensive Coordinator for 2011
  • Patricia should have less bodies to coach, and will have experience coaching two of the three levels of the Patriots defense. He looks primed to be a defensive coordinator at some point.
  • Patricia should continue to be the one who calls the defense and with less players to worry about he might be more involved with big picture defense stuff.
  • Pepper Johnson remains as the defensive line coach and you have to wonder if he really does project as a defensive coordinator. It certainly seems like Patricia is being groomed.
