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.

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
