The Patriots certainly need more out of Agholor, who had just this one catch, and also had a drop in overtime that he might've taken to the house for a game-winning touchdown. Stevenson's catching ability has been a pleasant surprise after he drew comparisons to LeGarrette Blount. This could be a skill set to build around, especially on third down. Finding a way to get more of these explosive runs, more consistently throughout the game, should be a priority with Harris.
With the Patriots needing a drive after going stagnant for a quarter-plus, Harris provided a spark to set up a touchdown. He was a warrior in this game, battling through a rib injury. As the second touchdown in the first quarter, this was just the kind of play the offense needed to show they can make. Related Links. Top 5 photos from Patriots vs. Early Down vs.

How much 80 are you using? Bill Parcells ran the Fairbanks-Bullough defensive system during his coaching years. The "Phillips ", a one-gap version of the , was also brought into the league by Bum Phillips , head coach of the Houston Oilers in the s.
The modern Phillips is largely a one gap system, meaning that the defensive linemen are often only responsible for one gap between the offensive linemen. The linemen can afford to be more aggressive because they receive more support from the linebackers in performing their roles.
This system generally prefers relatively lighter, more agile lineman better able to perform aggressive slants, loops and gap charges in order to directly attempt to sack the quarterback and make tackles. The zone blitz defense was developed by Dick LeBeau as defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals. Prior to becoming defensive coordinator of the Bengals, LeBeau was tutored by Bengals defensive coordinator Hank Bullough.
LeBeau's system commonly calls upon linemen to be mobile enough to drop back into zone coverage in place of blitzing linebackers. This modifiable aspect of the Patriots system is in stark contrast to simpler systems like the Tampa 2 defense, in which the same scheme is often run repeatedly with the emphasis being on execution rather than on flexibility. This is likely the result of Bill Parcells' having coached at Army for four years and Bill Belichick's close ties with the Naval Academy.

Suppose the Patriots want to run an offense that relies on a supercomputer at quarterback reading out coverages and route adjustments rapidly. And even if the quarterback gets it, do the receivers understand their jobs? With Newton at quarterback, McDaniels dipped his toes in the option waters this past season.
The Patriots ran a designed quarterback run or read-option on Newton only ran 36 run-pass options, tied for 13th in the league, and just 13 of those converted to passes with an average gain of 4. Furthermore, the Patriots only motioned or shifted on Other times, the Patriots ran rudimentary quarterback runs without motion or lead blockers, and those schemes predictably went nowhere.
The Ravens and Cardinals are at the forefront of bringing running elements of the college game, like option plays, to the NFL and are an excellent place to steal ideas from for the Patriots. Arizona head coach Kliff Kinsbury also uses different ways to add on lead blockers, mostly with his tight ends in the running game, which helps both the backs and quarterback Kyler Murray. They used the same stuff in New England, just less often. New England also used more play-action, handled blitzes differently and used more tempo on offense.
Schofield is a former college quarterback, who has been a Patriots fan his whole life. That passing concept exists in New England of course, but would hardly be considered a feature aspect of their offense. That could hardly be described as the case in New England. New England has relied on concepts like Hoss Juke pretty heavily, while Tampa Bay runs it to a lesser extent.
But, they do still run it. So does almost every team in the league. Again, none of this in absolutes, but you get the idea. New England almost never did that, and now Leftwich has done it a couple times in three games.
The Bucs ran it against Atlanta for a healthy gain. So are the Patriots and Bucs offenses the same? Not exactly, no. But there are plenty of similarities. In fact, many offenses have plenty of conceptual similarities. The biggest adjustments for Brady in the Tampa Bay offense were communication and terminology. It took all season for a new language to become second nature to him. That was never an issue.
