Thus, the biggest issue I saw with pressure was up the middle, which is the best way to get to Manning. Defensive tackle Sealver Siliga is more of a run-stuffer and his presence was important to protect against the draw play, but rookie defensive tackle Chris Jones (more of a penetrating 3 technique) really only showed up once in the pass rush, drawing a hold. That’s the one area where I thought the injuries finally caught up to the Patriots.
