So who are you going to bring in that can pull off what Belichick's defense does?
Belichick and his players are able to run multiple fronts and change on the fly ie they go to 3, 4 and 5 man fronts and interchanges 2 gap and 1 gap technique in the same call amongst his front 7.
We tried bringing in a pretender like Rob Ryan but Ole Bill is a once in a generation talent. Even with all of their defensive success if the Rams had better QB play, they had a shot to win.
Their offensive gameplan was pretty vanilla. They ran a stream of option routes to Edelman, ran everyone else upfield, and let Brady use his accuracy and eyes to make plays. They managed 1 TD and 2 FG.
Agreed Belicheat is a great coach and coaching Matters a lot. Also, agree the Rams still could have won that game if their QB play was better and their D made one more stop.
It will be difficult to find a coach at Belicheat’s level, but we need to try to find one as close to his level as possible. A coach like Garrett that straight out says, “we do what we do”, cannot compete with a Belicheat type coach. One who game plans specifically for each team he plays and has alternate game plans if the 1st or 2nd game plan is not successful.
Our guys get paid millions of dollars. All they do is practice football. They should be able to play in multiple defensive schemes or offensive schemes in the same game. We keep running out the same scheme and plays. A coach like Belicheat can make it very difficult if you don’t have All Pros at every position when you coach like this. In today’s NFL, with the talent so equal, you have to, like NE, take what the defense or offense gives you and be smart enough to figure out what that is!!
