I put this in a new thread in part because the guy who did it is so dang thorough that I wanted to make a space to have this kind of high level analysis. And while a fair bit is spent on what a stud Stephon Gilmore is (and he is, no question) it also goes into how since Brian Flores left, they've gotten into some tendencies that teams exploited and I think Tennessee used those very well to run all over them.

I don't really care per se about the Pats D since we're long past the Super Bowl, but i do hope it stimulates the real high level analysis seeing as we're in the off-season for us and we know we're getting a Vic Fangio 3-4 D.

Thus I'm more interested in things like

- how is the Fangio D different from Wade's D?

- how does Fangio use the various units? Press man, off man or zone for the DBs? How are the LBs used? Does he prefer Blitzes or Dawgs? How and when? Does he prefer a robber type ILB or a thumper? Questions like that?

- what does that D call for personnel-wise? Are the 5T and NT markedly different than what Wade preferred? Are his ILBs different?

And so many more questions. In the mean time, enjoy the video and let's have fun this off-season.

Yes, and I went into this in another thread. Rather than the Wade hybrid, could be that Staley offers a more traditional 3-4 for us. It's going to be interesting to see which influences he chooses to run with. I'm certainly excited by it.

Well, he's already said in multiple interviews that his template would be the Fangio 3-4 as opposed to the Wade hybrid 3-4... although with the advent of nickel and dime Ds being more common more often, every 3-4 ends up being a hybrid to an extent...

Belicheat & Kraft will be working on their tan next season if Goodall can find his sack.

The defensive front should be much the same i.e. a one gap 3-4 under with a 3t, 1t, 5t. Personnel they need to upgrade is 5t and the edges.

Where we will see more complication is the back end. Secondary looks solid with JJ one more year. LB is the area of upgrade and change.
