I think it’s pretty clear that BB gives a little more attention to the defense and that he trusts TB and JM with the offense. That said, he oversees it all and all the major game-planning certainly has BB’s blessing and handprints all over it.
I usually refrain from specifically criticizing offensive coordinators. There’s just too much that we as fans don’t know. But at the same time I think there needs to be some serious evaluation of some of the Pats’ method of attack this season.
I think they’re getting caught thinking they’re still the 2010-2012 Pats and trying stuff like the quick snap runs, which, haven’t been too successful.
Tweeted this late last night: Brady is 28 of 44 (64 pct) for 292 yards out of no huddle. Running backs are averaging 2.92 yards per carry.

I think the Pats are still looking for their identity on both sides of the ball. What can they hang their hat on? What are their best personnel packages? Now that they’re getting healthy, it’s time to figure it out.
