New England Patriots Links 1/20/12 - Chung Brings Stability to Secondary

Belichick_2_tiny by Marima on in New England Patriots Links

Patrick Chung responds to questions about the difficulty in coming back from an injury and if he's been 'mystified' by the play of the defense.

On me, it's been pretty tough but the team is winning, the team is winning. I have no complaints at all. We're winning and just have to keep working and whatever obstacles there might be, you have to keep working and try to overcome those.

We have a good defense, a good defense, good players, good coach. Coach [Belichick] gives us the game plan, we execute and we've been doing that for the whole season.

[The rotation of safeties doesn't matter] the best players are going to play at the given time, whoever you have is going to play regardless. Whoever Coach [Belichick] puts out there he has full confidence in and he expects them to make plays.

Bill Belichick is asked about the challenge of getting the defense to gel with so many moving parts.

Our guys on defense, they work hard, they really do. They come in and put in a lot of extra time watching film, preparing, studying. I think all of our players really have gotten better individually. We've had some moving parts where some guys have worked with other players beside them or in front of them or behind them as the case would be. We stayed at it and some things have gotten better. We still have a lot of work to do, there are a lot of things we can improve on. I think overall, the work ethic and the confidence of the unit has been good. Hopefully we can continue to get better.

Vince Wilfork doesn't care much for rankings.

"We don't pay attention to any stats. That's something we don't do. We know how we feel about this team and we feel really good about this 2011 team. We'll see where that takes us. But, we really don't pay any attention to any stats."

patriots destroyed their opponents last 3 snow games by 30+ pts

az cardinals: 47-7 (2008)
tenn titans: 59-0 (2009)
chi bears: 36-7, 33-0 at half (last year)
the ravens aren’t practicing in snow and the patriots are prepared for it so weather advantage goes to new england since they’re better at playing in snow than pretty much everyone else

The main advantage I think

Is that the pass rush is more limited on slippery ground. But at the same time, I think it’s harder to tackle Ray Rice.

by tossin on Jan 20, 2012 8:43 PM EST up reply actions  

Didn't have a problem stopping Matt forte in Chicago.

And Forte and Rice have made similar impacts on their team this year. Leading their team in catches and runs. Forte is very good too. Under the radar though I think.

Just to point this out to people with short memories, we have played a similar and just as dangerous running back this season

His name was LeSean Mccoy. We held him 10 carries for 31 yards (9 carries for 9 of that) and 4 catches for 30 yards. We also stopped Denver’s league leading rushing offense. So while Rice is interesting, I really think this game is on Flacco and the Pats secondary. And btw, sacking Tim Tebow 5 times is no small feat. Flacco is MUCH easier to bring down.

Perfect reference

Shady is a great note from the season. I admit, I had totally forgotten about that. But I recall thinking that Reids playcalling was surprisingly light on McCoy-Specific stuff—much of which was made by eagles fans and Philly media. This week, ESPN, etc, have spent a lot of air time discussing how when the Ravens run 30+, they win. I doubt that stat has escaped harbaugh’s attention.

When any team runs 30+ times

it’s usually because they are ahead. I’ve never put too much stock in that correlation.

by nbradley07 on Jan 21, 2012 2:41 PM EST up reply actions  

In the case of the Ravens (and maybe the Broncs)

the point seems to be that their offense runs best when they’re doing what they do best — kind of an indication that they have a weakness or a perceived weakness in passing. Rather than indicating that they’re ahead, in these cases it’s more an indication that they’re “on schedule.”

Eagles really failed to stick w/ McCoy — I didn’t get the sense that we really took him away, more that Reid felt our weakness was in pass defense and predetermined that he was going to put his eggs in that basket.

Kind of an interesting case-in-point on differing philosophies. Reid going to for a weakness while BB tends to try to neutralize or defeat strengths.

The more things change, the more the stay the same

The media’s memory stick is tiny — the only sample size they have is a week old. I hope they’re right about our defense but I’m not convinced they’ve turned a corner. I’m hopeful, but I just can’t say that until I see it.

i wouldn't expect anything less

he gets paid to cause a stir by bringing race into everything. i’ve never respected anything he’s written. if wes welker drops a touchdown pass its because he’s white? if suggs sacks brady its because he’s black?

let alone he couldn’t possibly write an article without mentioning spygate, or “questionable” officiating in the pats’ victories. it means nothing that the ravens have been one of the most penalized teams in the league for 10 years i guess.

The 'questionable officiating' thing bugged me too

In the 2007 game? Really? Maybe he should blame Rex Ryan for the time out called by the Ravens on 4th down, or the very real holding penalty on that other 4th down. Questionable my a$$.

that was a legit, must-make call. the linebacker basically hugged ben watson as he tried to curl in his seam route.

I was a bit horrified

I question his purpose of hand-picking elements of this game and ignoring others, all for the sake of making a point about race – and class – that isn’t there. Black vs. White, City vs. Suburbia. Just as the whole “Good vs. Evil” did not apply in 2007, this battle of forces doesn’t exist in this game. It’s too integrated for him to make that call.

And isn’t it racist of him to root for Baltimore, although he “loves Tom Brady,” only because of the color of Ray Lewis’ skin?

Perfectly articulated.

He makes far too many sweeping generalizations in his attempt to show some microcosm-macrocosm relationship. Also, I’ve never been a fan of his, so I’m probably more judgmental and dismissive than I might otherwise.

It's "weird" to see it in a sports article.

Possibly it becomes the norm of the great divide that continues to grow in this country.
The 99% vs. 1%, Red vs. Blue, Pro-amnesty vs. Legal immigration, Big Gov’t vs Tea Party.
He eludes to sports being one of the few places where race is not continually discussed and then throws it right into your face.
Launching salvos at Brady’s personal life, and leaving out any mention Ray Lewis’ past digressions? Talk about cherry picking a battle of white vs. black and leaving out all tthe facts that give each side it’s resultant character perception.
I’d ask him why not elevate above and put Ray Lewis in his rightful place: An extremely smart, greatest LBof this generation, and “QB” of his deffense.

And this is the problem with binary thinking.

It isn’t that some of the things Whitlock is saying are not there, the issue of race is one that will always be part of professional sports. It’s just that for his argument to work there can be no third option: just black or white. What? You like MadMen and The Wire? Well, sorry, this is sports and only one can win, so you should not only suppress one of those, but villainize it somehow: “skirt-chasing”, “irreverent,” “squirrelly.”

I admit I appreciate a writer that will examine something as difficult as race; however make sure you write in a way that is as complex as the issue you engage. He mentions the element of “style” here and them glosses over a decade of having to continually reinvent this team. There is nothing simple about what the Patriots have accomplished this year, and to reduce it to such an easy formula disrespects the challenge of what both teams face this week.

I know FANTASY FOOTBALL is irrelevant, but the Patriots actually cracked the top 10 in points after being

second to the bottom for at least a month. In 2007 we had the number 1 defense in fantasy points in Yahoo! scoring under my league, which includes special teams. Special teams is so important,ask Jacoby Jones. My point is that like VW says stats don’t matter and when you are getting sacks and turnovers and NOT allowing points that is alot more important than allowing 500 yards a game.

Now I'm all teary-eyed at work...

Before Mr. Kraft made a special visit to the Pikes Peak Pats tailgate party in Denver during Week 15, one of the PPP members was selling the “MHK” patches for us to wear with all proceeds donated to charity. He teared up during his speech after he saw over 100 people donning them and it was a really nice moment to connect with someone like that who is a legend in this team’s lore.

It puts all of life’s many important things back into perspective and makes you appreciate the small things that much more. I still have the patch on my jersey and will proudly wear it until the season’s conclusion. This is a special, once-in-a-lifetime season, and we should all be joyful and proud to be New England Patriots fans.
