Matt Patricia: “we might have a few new things they haven’t seen”

As a Pats fan, I hate Patricia with every fiber of my being. He road the coattails of Bill and Brady for years and was exposed the second he got away from them. Then at the end of Bills rope, he hired this fat **** as our OC. A bottom tier DC was supposedly going to come and turn around an anemic offense lol. I can laugh now with how things are going with Maye and Josh back but MAN that was a dark time.
Went from dog**** to top defense in the NFL in just over a year once he was out.

There's a reason the NFL doesn't employ him anymore and Flores is still a DC despite his clash with an owner (and performing well at that).

Dude is over his head. Congrats, you're beating up on a soft schedule with half of your team being drafted in the first three rounds. It's the same with this fat **** every single time.

Patricia has the nations #1 defense. His philosophy and scheme wont change. There is nothing they will run that is not on film. With whom he chooses to cover certain WR, will be revealed. But his scheme is his scheme. And Miami offense isn’t ground breaking and littered with Julio Jones freaks all over. Patricia thinks his scheme and talent are enough to be effective against Miami. Dont buy the coach speak.
Canes Defense knows what to do.....just Sayin :machinegun:

Ohio State runs a very NFL-influenced defensive system. Pattern-match coverages. Split-field concepts. A lot of “read 2 to 1,” “carry vertical,” “match releases,” and post-snap rules instead of spot-drop zones.

That system can be elite. But it also has a weakness and every defensive coach knows it. Complex defenses don’t break because of talent. They break because of hesitation. That’s where Miami can live.

Ohio state ask their players to follow a lot of rules. But unlike NFL players, they don’t practice or watch film the amount of hours pro player do.

You don’t beat it with trick plays. You beat it by forcing defenders to decide fast and often wrong. Miami’s Air Raid principles are perfect for that.

We use to call it. Stress the Rules, Not the Man

Pattern-match defenses are rule-based. So offenses attack:
  • Who has #2 vertical?
  • Who carries the shallow?
  • Who replaces the safety when he rotates?
You do that with:
  • Stacked releases
  • Bunch formations
  • Fast motion
  • Switch routes

Now a defender has to think quickly and this forces hesitation. Dawson’s offense is actually geared towards breaking OSU defensive rules. Ohio State’s defense don’t play “that’s my guy”

They play “that’s my responsibility based on rules.”

We run a lot of switch routes which are a poison pill to that defense

Somebody read my posts, lol

Jk, that's how it's done. I remember fat Patricia trying to install match coverage on the 2017 Patriots unit and everyone was scrambling because he was a ******* moron. One bunch set and everyone was running around like a bunch of chickens being chased with a knife.

And that secondary had an eventual DPOY in Stephon Gilmore, a 2nd-team All-Pro in Malcolm Butler and a 2x 2nd-team All-Pro in Devin Mccourty. This bum *** mfer wanted Eric Rowe to start in the slot, the worst CB I've ever seen in my life. **** Patricia, he's sorry as ****.

Dude lives on window dressing. That’s his whole thing. Shift late. Spin safeties. Walk guys up. Bail guys out. Change the picture pre-snap and post-snap and hope the QB blinks.

All that movement is just noise if the QB understands: Where the weak spots are, Who’s stressed by the concept, Which defender is wrong no matter what

Disguise only works if:

The QB holds the ball
The QB is late
The QB is unsure

If the QB knows “If the safety rotates late, I throw here. Or If the LB widens, I throw there.”
Then all that pre-snap circus means absolutely nothing.

May be the first time our bunched up sets will help us out
 
He is a Belichek disciple, who is notorious for cooking up individual gameplans they havent shown prior.. i dont think its out of realm of possibility with all the time off and chess pieces he has at disposal..
North Carolina certainly caught a bunch of teams off guard with all their Bill Belicheck master schemes.
