Defensive Backs Snap Graph 11/17

What can we determine from what we see here?  Sergio Brown and Patrick Chung ate into James Sanders’ play time a bit this past weekend. Chung played a lot of nickel corner at the expense of Jonathan Wilhite. Brown came on the field before Wilhite did as well. Not sure what this is a reflection of, especially since Wilhite looked okay against the Browns. 

McCourty/Meriweather/Arrington don’t leave the field and I suspect Chung might be the same way if he wasn’t cramping/coming back from an injury.

Excel made a good choice in assigning Darius Butler’s line the color brown, we have no reason to suspect that he’ll get back into a heavy playtime rotation any time soon. That of course is unless the Pat decide to put 8 defensive backs on the field against Peyton Manning.

A Closer Look at the 2010 Patriots Defense (Halfway Edition)

by

This season I’ve dedicated myself to focusing on the defensive personnel and strategy that the Patriots are using. I’ve kept track of formations. I’ve charted snap percentages. And I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. 

It has been an education and I’m happy to share some attempted insight at just what the Patriots have tried to do on defense that has left them with a 6-2 record, yet a poorly ranked defense.

I bust out the defensive snap percentage charts and provide a break down of the three levels of the Belichick 2.0 Pats Defense after the jump…

Looks like all signs are pointing toward Patchung! coming back this week. Yes, he’s my favorite player on the defense but this is just the boost they need. Let’s not forget he was second on the team in tackles before taking a helmet to the knee against the Chargers. Hopefully he provides a spark!

Notes on a Great Day: Patriots Hold On Vs. Chargers

by

After a crappy three hour drive I’ve finally returned home from what was just about a perfect day. It could still end up being perfect but that depends on how hurt PatChung! is. Some general thoughts from the game which is even more general considering I haven’t even seen the highlights on TV yet.

– Robert and Jonathan Kraft made a pass by the Pats fans in the seats in back of the bench, shaking hands and signing autographs. I didn’t get a pic or video. Fail.

– We were surrounded by a great group of hard core Pats fans. Even got a spirited “de-fense” chant at the end of the game.

– Deaderick > Brace

– Cunningham and Ninkovich are the 3-4 OLBs. TBC and Crable are the third down pass rushers, with Pryor in the middle. Seems like it really breaks down that simply after today.

– Fletcher’s 3-3-5 nickel package was used for the second week in a row. Coaches must like what they’re seeing.

– I wonder how much the loss of Chung hurt this defense in the second half. Can’t stress enough how important he is to the defense. Initial indications from the Boston Herald is that Chung seemed like it wasn’t major. So that’s positive.

– Did Guyton get burned a lot in coverage today? Methinks he did.

– Yes we’re 5-1 but I think the addition of Logan Mankins back into the mix can only help this running game.

– Brady wasn’t his best, but having an INT-free day probably saved the game.

– McCourty. Wow.

– Butler was back out there, need to take a closer look at how much/how he did.

– Mayo is back to being a beast.
