3 Changes the New England Patriots Must Make on Defense
Friday B/R column is up with some stats that really bother me…
Pats are the WORST DEFENSE in the NFL over the last four seasons on third down and giving up 20+ plays. Ick…
Here are a collection of some of my favorite stats, mostly Football Outsiders’ DVOA rankings, with the final 2013 values in.
Some dropoff on offense, but considering the changes, they barely registered a blip. Pats offense was still elite.
The defense saw it’s best pass defense since 2007, but the regression in run defense is huge as to be expected without their two two tackles and top two tacklers.
Pats played their most sub defense in four seasons this year, that tends to happen when you essentially run out of defensive linemen. Even with better pass defense and more defensive backs, they regressed on 3rd down. They need to solve that problem and until they do they will never be an elite defense.
Nothing exciting about these numbers either, except that they finally did a good job covering tight ends after two-straight seasons of futility. Maybe Jamie Collins helped play into that a bit. The drop at #2 WR is likely due in part to Talib locking down WR #1 and not many passes going that way.

As always, a must-read from Jerry Thornton, his final Knee Jerk reaction of the season and he sums it all up perfectly.

Really good job by Frenz summing up how I’m feeling at the end of this season. Strangely a bit relieved, and once again reassured that what is going on in Foxborough is uniquely special.
