Joe Whitt On Setting Up Pass Defense

[Fritz]

Patriots:

Josh Boyer
Cornerbacks Coach

Steve Belichick
Safeties Coach

Patriots split up into position groups after a team meeting and after a coordinator meeting three times a week. Its almost as if there is no distinction between teams today. And that meeting safeties and cornerbacks together with position coaches might go against a trend.

Or perhaps this is much ado about nothing and coordination has nothing to do with meeting groups and more to do with clear communication from the position coach in the first place.

...And that's what they gave up over 40 points in the Super Bowl!

That and no pass rush.

It was like watching a Packers' defense. Heck, watching the Iggles' defense was like watching a Packers' defense. Quarterbacks with all day to throw. Running backs gashing the middle. Receivers and tight ends with no opponent within five yards.

Deja vu all over again.

Why would corners and safeties not be in the same meetings anyways? Especially when there have been so many issues in the past, it would seem logical that it should be the case.

That's what I was wondering as well. Are they in the same meetings on other teams?
