Good Belichick kool aid drinking take, if those kind of things are your bag. Look, no one has waited for this defense to be dominant again than I have. The Patriots defensive turnover was maybe the biggest reason I started blogging, to track it and analyze it. Losing Revis stinks. I loved what he brought to the defense and how he freed up the other 10 guys to do damage. But there are only a few of those kind of guys in the NFL, and not having one doesn’t bar you from winning a Super Bowl, despite the results of the last two years.
Name me the secondary of either Giants team that beat the Pats’ in the Super Bowl. I can barely recall one of them. But what I can recall is their front seven and if there’s one thing that can make up for not having an elite man-to-man shutdown corner, it’s a dominant front seven. Expect the Pats to attack that area of their team-building immediately. Like, starting today.
