Interesting read over at NFL.com - Spagnuolo’s plan has NFL playing follow the leader
For a quick overview -defense coordinators have figured out that QBs like Brady and Peyton will kill you if given the time. To slow them down you need versatile defensive backs and need to prevent the long pass play. Seems like common sense - but who has the personnel to do it? The article mentions a number of teams that are working on a similar defense scheme but they still need the personnel - not even the Giants have the personnel to do what they did last year.
I hope the added depth at running back this year will counter any changes in defensive scheming the Patriots will see throughout the season.
