Patriots Dink and Dunk offense


GoobyPls

Recommended Posts

They have the perfect receivers for the offense they run lately. Edelman is just too quick and precise a route runner to be covered that quickly off the snap. Amendola has been disappointing since joining New England but made some big plays tonight. Gronk is Gronk and Vereen was huge for New England tonight. I can't remember watching a game where Seattle tackled that poorly. They tailored the offense perfectly for an aging QB in Brady. The dink and dunk works with the receivers they have especially because Brady is still accurate, can read a defense effortlessly, and gets the ball out quickly.

Thomas and Sherman didn't tackle very well and Simon was complete trash (almost on Godfrey level) in coverage and tackling. Injuries had something to do with it... What was painful to watch was how well New England's line played against the Seahawks D-line. 1 sack all game and the only guy who got any pressure at all was Bennett. Over 200 of Brady's yards were after the catch, maybe even over 250. Basically, Belichick is a genius. A cheater, but also a genius.

The one sack they got on Brady, was his fault. He was barely even touched the whole game.

 

Seattle D today was no where near last season, no Bryant, Clemons, Lane, Avril, Thomas with a separated shoulder and Sherman night need tommy john surgery.

They have been running the same offense for god knows how long, yet no one can stop them.

 

I think there was a stat of Brady being 1-22 on passes longer than 20 yards, its all short passes to wide open receivers, its frustrating to watch.

 

The last time they were in the Super Bowl they were a big-play offense.  What they actually do is tailor an effective game plan to the defense they're facing, and then they go out and execute it.  Brady is a huge part of that.

It's just smart coaching and personnel decisions. All of their offensive personnel present a match up issue if put in the correct position. When their quick guys are hurt they switch to a ground and pound running game. They have a veteran quarterback that knows the playbook well enough to run different concepts week to week. 

 

They really worked us last year too, we just made enough plays and got a few turnovers. 

 

If you are suggesting the Panthers run the same thing, I can see the merits in that. Who needs a perfect offensive line when the ball is out in under 2 seconds? But the Panthers personnel is currently just mashed together on offense. If you go to the Seattle tape and watch our recievers try to get off the line of scrimmage...even without the press these guys are flat footed in their starting position while Cliff Avril is 3 yards into the backfield.

They never were a big play offense IMO, even when they had Moss alot of Brady passes were dink and dunk, and Moss made Brady look like a good deep ball passer.

Brady averaged 7.1 yards per attempt this year.  In that season he averaged 8.3 yards per attempt.  That's a significant difference.

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
