Snaps: Jones quickly part of core – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Love me the defensive snap posts from Reiss…
The Patriots gave starting linebackers Brandon Spikes (middle), Dont’a Hightower (strong) and Jerod Mayo (weak) a chance for extended work as they were the only linebackers to play in the first half. The trio played together into the end of the third quarter as this was a signature aspect of the team’s defensive approach – an extended chance to look at this impressive starting trio.
