"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)

Myles Gaskin (5’10” & 194 lbs) on the end of the line blocking Matt Judon (6’3” & 261 lbs) just does not seem ideal. Again, not trying to be an expert or anything but this play seemed doomed. pic.twitter.com/OYtterRa9E

This from PFF.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) September 13, 2021

Patriots went after the Miami safeties

Rowe 9 targets 54 yards
McCourty 4 targets 33 yards
Bra. Jones 1 targets 16 yards
Holland - not targeted

Total: 14 targets, 103 yards (7.36 YPT)

Per PFF
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) September 13, 2021

So, in total, the Patriots threw for 159 yards on 24 pass attempts when going after Dolphins defensive backs, that's just 6.63 YPA. Per PFF.

Tua was the fourth most aggressive quarterback in Week 1 (pending tonight's matchup) with a 25.9% aggressiveness score per @NextGenStats.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was the second most aggressive QB in the league last year.

This is interesting...see thread for what this means.
— Matt Cannata (@CannataPFSN) September 13, 2021

Next Gen Stats had Tua with a 25.9% aggressive rate yesterday, that was the fourth-highest in the NFL.

For the Dolphins defense, Mac Jones had a 10.3% aggressive rate (21st-highest).
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) September 13, 2021

Jaylen Waddle averaged 3.6 yards of separation yesterday, more than a full yard better than Miami's top separation creator in 2020.

It was the 22nd-best rate of separation for all NFL pass catchers in Week 1.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) September 13, 2021

DeVante Parker averaged 12.8 air yards on the 7 targets he received -- that was 19th-most among NFL pass catchers in Week 1, per Next Gen.

Maybe a little too cute with the blocking scheme on this play-action pass. Michael Deiter and Solomon Kindley switching is what let the very fast pressure right up the middle. Tua has to throw it before any receiver could be ready for the ball. pic.twitter.com/iIsqrMygYq

The scanning the soc. segment on the Tuesday Drive Time pod is going to take a look at defensive philosophy and weekly game plans.

The teaser: teams that allowed 16 or fewer points since the start of 2020 are 96-3.

Allowing 16 or less = win percentage of 97

On our #OnlyFins chat when this play happened I said it might have been the play of the game by Jason McCourty. Patriots caught Miami in 0 Cover, and picked up the blitz beautifully. That’s often bad bad news for the secondary. McCourty was just flawless here. pic.twitter.com/HQ2PXofabI

Always impossible for any of US to say for sure, but this seemed like a play that Tua needed to check out of. Patriots had a numbers advantage to the play side. If you look at it, it was actually blocked up pretty well. But the run was doomed anyway. pic.twitter.com/1TQjZnf8ng

Jesse Davis got driven back pretty hard here. But look at the OLs who failed to find work (Eichenberg & Hunt). Personally I think that’s the reason the rushers could react so quickly when Tua extended the play. pic.twitter.com/kjL9Nh8pH4

Zone being too soft is why this touchdown happened. Miami defenders don’t seem used to playing so much zone. But if they’re in man, as above, especially near the end zone, they’re expecting to get picked off because the Patriots are so good at that. pic.twitter.com/qt7L1d9TMh
